hello, I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.
if when I go to a doctor, he finds I have a hormone imbalance, what happens then? does he just suggest a diet/some medication to try and balance it?
do I always have to be on it or does it fix it- and lastly- if it does…does this reduce the excess hair at all?
I’ve looked everywhere, no answer. It seems like hair removal is the only way to help, I hope I’m wrong. Thanks!
Sorry to disappoint you, but the bottom line is, once a hair starts growing, permanent hair removal is the only option to be rid of it, and electrolysis is the gold standard of permanent hair removal.
While doctors prescribe medications for perceived hormonal imbalances, the so called range of normal is so large, that many women who are experiencing a personal imbalance won’t show a number “outside of the range of normal”.
A good book for this problem is The Diet Cure by Julia Ross. it will explain many things that will help you.
ah, I figured as much. well, thank you! I want…agh I have so many areas I can’t stand I don’t know if I will ever wear a bathing suit again, and I’m only 18 (well, almost 19 haha)
on a somewhat related note, do you think electrolysis on the buttcheeks (external) would take a very long time and be very pricey? I mean the whole outside (and my lower back bleh) is a very large area…the hair isn’t course but brown and longer than the ‘invisible’ hair most girls seem to have.
thank you- I’ll check out the book!
the practicality of working an area has to do with the number of hairs to be removed, the spacing of those hairs, the thickness of the hairs, depth of the follicles, the rate of hairs per hour the practitioner you have removing the hairs can work, and many more factors.
This is why we are always saying that we can’t tell you how much something will cost, or how long it will take. If I saw the treatment area, I could hazard a guess, but even then, it would not be as good as the guess I would have if I were actually able to work on you to see what all the factors assembled work out to be.
now this is the part where I tell you that I have worked this area before, and the clients seem to be pleased with the results. 
thank you, you’ve been such a help! I wish my area had more professionals in this (I’m in a sparse part of canada haha)
that’s good to hear, though!
Sorry for using this thread but I can’t seem to be able to start a topic… Looking for advice on hair loss, I’m female (63) in the last 6-7 months I’ve been losing hair from my fringe area, the loss is gradual, it looks like I’ve lost about 50% of hair from that area… Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated as to what I can do to stop it receding.
I’m sorry to hear about your hair loss; that can be really tough to deal with. Here are some steps you can consider:
- Consult a Dermatologist or Trichologist : It’s important to get a professional opinion. They can determine if there’s an underlying condition, such as hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or medical issues.
- Check Your Diet : Ensure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals that support hair health, like iron, zinc, vitamin D, and biotin. A balanced diet rich in protein can also help.
- Consider Hair Care Products : Look for shampoos and conditioners that promote hair growth. Products containing ingredients like minoxidil may be effective, but consult your doctor before using them.
- Scalp Massage : Regularly massaging your scalp can help stimulate blood flow to hair follicles, which might promote hair growth.
- Stress Management : Stress can contribute to hair loss. Practices like yoga, meditation, or other relaxation techniques might help.
- Avoid Harsh Treatments : Minimize the use of heat styling tools, chemical treatments, or tight hairstyles that can cause further damage.
- Hair Supplements : Some people find supplements like biotin or collagen beneficial. Again, consult with your doctor before starting any new supplements.
- Consider Hairstyles : A new hairstyle that adds volume or layers can help make thinning areas less noticeable.
- Explore Medical Treatments : If the hair loss is significant, treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy or laser therapy might be options to discuss with your dermatologist.
