i have A LOT of hair not exactly coarse but just a lot and i know i hear it’s possible no matter what but i feel like maybe i have too much for some reason, every hair is super close together and idk if it would look weird after getting it removed because it’s like this on my back too but has any electrologist on here removed hair like mine? i’ve never seen anything compared to mine i’ve seen thicker but just not as many hairs, sorry for posting a lot on here i’m just 16 and i realized it two months ago and think it’s maybe since i started spironolactone and norgestimate estridal-ethinyl last june and july and it’s been making me super depressed because for my “pcos” hormonal imbalance im scared to shave it and half my closet or more are crop tops and i’ve thrown so many out because of it and everyone my age is posting in bikinis it’s like this on my chest and all over my boobs too and i just want it gone also the second two pictures don’t make it look as bad as it does in person for some reason when i upload them on here but it’s darker than it shows up on camera sorry for venting
Yes, electrolysis can remove this type of hair permanently , even in areas with high density or hormonal influence like the stomach and lower abdomen. The photos show a mix of coarse and finer hairs, which is very typical in hormonally active regions—and electrolysis is one of the only FDA-recognized permanent solutions for both.
It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed when there’s a lot of hair to treat, but it’s important to remember that electrolysis is a process, not a one-time fix. Multiple sessions are required because hair grows in cycles, and only active (anagen phase) hairs can be permanently treated at each visit.
Here are a few tips based on what you shared:
Yes, this area is absolutely treatable.Many people start with a dense growth pattern and see significant reduction over time.
Since you mentioned PCOS and hormonal imbalance, consistency will be key. You may need regular appointments over several months to catch regrowth cycles.
Make sure to choose a well-trained electrologist who has experience with body areas and hormonal hair patterns.
Avoid shaving or tweezing between sessions—stick with trimming or cutting if needed.
Also, don’t worry if it feels like it’s “too much.” You’re definitely not alone. Many clients who start with heavy growth patterns go on to have smooth, lasting results— even in the same exact area.
You’re on the right path asking these questions. Starting with a consultation is a great next step so you can get an in-person evaluation of hair type, skin response, and treatment expectations.
thank you i just feel like even with following a recommended treatment it would take more than 3 years or something and i cant do it until im older and get a job (ik i could get it done rn i just dont have the money) im just concerned ill put alot of money into it and not get the results i want idk theres a lot of hair and i know its a delicate process im willing to try but i dont want to regret it
i just feel like i’ve never seen anyone with this many hairs this close together along with the fact A LOT grow multiple hairs and i would focus on the line of hairs thatre darker and slightly thicker that goes below and above the belly button but then i feel like the others would then be bothering me because they’d become more noticeable?
also sorry for sending three messages but do you think this could be hypertrichosis because it’s not only in the male hair growth pattern but all over my stomach sides of torso my entire chest upper arms lower arms even some on the inside, whole back, butt all over my legs and i have a mustache and lots of side burns and cheek hairs the cheek hair isn’t rlly a worry but it’s been getting darker and i’ve read spirinolactone can cause hypertrichosis and it’s sad because i got on it to combat hair growth which was a slight mustach and upper lip grown and now it’s everywhere and it’s been around 11 months but i noticed the increase two or three months ago maybe it’s both hormonal and hypertrichosis ?
i’ve seen thicker but just not as many hairs, sorry for posting a lot on here i’m just 16 and i realized it two months ago and think it’s maybe since i started spironolactone and norgestimate estridal-ethinyl last june and july and it’s been making me super depressed because for my “pcos” hormonal imbalance im scared to shave it and half my closet or more are crop tops and i’ve thrown so many out because of it and everyone my age is posting in bikinis it’s like this on my chest and all over my boobs too and i just want it gone also the second two pictures don’t make it look as bad as it does in person for some reason when i upload them on here but it’s darker than it shows up on camera sorry for venting
