Unwanted Hair Growth

Unguents, beauty creams, and make-up are all designed to make you more beautiful. But unfortunately there may be one thing in the way of all these products fully benefiting you. And probably its presence each morning is a grim reminder of the major stumbling block to both beauty and femininity -- that is, your beard.  Even after years of hormone treatment, one's beard will remain and continue to flourish. 

But it is possible to rid yourself of your beard.  And not only be rid of the your facial hair but to have a beautiful complexion in the process. In order to make the right choices concerning permanent hair removal, particularly beard removal, it is important to first learn how hair grows. 

By discovering the mechanism of hair growth, you will have a better understanding of: 

  • Which techniques work well

  • Which techniques may be dangerous, and

  • Which hairs may be affected by hormonal treatment and therefore do not need electrolysis treatment.
