Common Questions About Electrolysis For Hormonal Changes and PCOS
I'MÂ 40 YEARS OLD AND STARTED SPROUTING THESE COARSE HAIRS ON MY CHIN.
At your consultation, we will go through a thorough health history. This will help us figure out a possible reason why this hair came on suddenly.
Among the questions will be:
Do you have thyroid problems?
Are you diabetic?
Have you had menstrual or ovarian problems?
What medications do you take?
Do you have a family history of unwanted hair?
Some studies show women have symptoms of menopause 10 years before they reach menopause - could this be the cause?
As electrologists, we cannot diagnose, but we can ask you questions that will help you have further discussions with your physician. Regardless of the cause, we can permanently remove unwanted hair.
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOT OF FACIAL HAIR. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE, BUT NOW I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER - ARE THERE OTHERS LIKE ME?
There are many of us with unwanted hair. In fact, most likely, your electrologist has spent many hours receiving electrolysis treatments. His/her compassion comes from walking in your shoes. I believe there are more of us with unwanted hair than without!
WHAT IS THE TREATMENT FOR POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS)?
Treatment depends on the symptoms.
​
If weight is an issue, the most successful eating pattern is following a diabetic healthy eating plan. When choosing carbs, make sure they are complex carbs that don't raise your blood sugar.
If you develop unwanted hair, electrolysis will get rid of the unwanted hair permanently.
To address the medical issues, sometimes medications are prescribed by your physician.
I WENT TO SEE THE ENDOCRINOLOGIST AND SHE SAID ALL MY TESTS CAME BACK NORMAL. HOW CAN THAT BE WITH ALL THIS HAIR ON MY FACE?
Dr. Jeffrey Redmond, a NY endocrinologist, has told the Electrology profession that some people's bodies are more sensitive to circulating hormones. So just because your blood levels have come back "normal," it does not mean that they are normal for YOU! As hard as it may seem, go back and have another conversation with your endocrinologist. We must each be an active advocate for our own health.
