Permanent Hair Removal for Minoxidil Users: Managing Unwanted Hair Growth
01
Electrolysis for minoxidil-induced hair growth
If you use minoxidil or similar medications to combat hair loss, unwanted hair growth in other areas can be an unexpected and frustrating side effect. While these medications are effective in promoting hair growth on the scalp, they can sometimes lead to increased hair growth elsewhere on the body. But don’t worry! You’re not alone in this, and electrolysis is here to help you take control of those pesky side effects. This effective and permanent hair removal method targets unwanted hair with precision, giving you the smooth skin you desire. Let’s dive into how electrolysis can be your go-to solution for managing those unexpected hair growth surprises!
Understanding Minoxidil and Unwanted Hair Growth
Minoxidil, originally developed as a medication for high blood pressure, was found to have the side effect of promoting hair growth. Minoxidil is the generic name, and it is marketed under various brand names, including Rogaine and Loniten. It’s now widely used as a topical treatment for pattern baldness in both men and women. However, some users experience hypertrichosis – excessive hair growth in areas where the medication wasn’t intended to be applied.
How Minoxidil Affects Hair Growth
Minoxidil works by dilating blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair follicles. This can stimulate dormant follicles and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle. A scalp enzyme called sulfotransferase converts the minoxidil into a salt called minoxidil sulfate. It works by shortening the telogen, or resting, phase of the hair and causes the hair to enter the anagen or growing stage. There is some evidence that minoxidil can increase the thickness of the hair. While primarily applied to the scalp, minoxidil can sometimes be absorbed into the bloodstream and affect hair follicles in other parts of the body.
Permanent Hair Removal with Electrolysis
For those dealing with unwanted hair growth due to minoxidil use, electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal.
Electrolysis works by inserting a tiny probe into each hair follicle and delivering an electric current to destroy the follicle’s ability to produce hair.
Electrolysis is safe and effective on both facial and body hair. Whether it’s a few stray hairs on your face or some patches on your body, electrolysis can help you take control and achieve the look you want. Electrolysis permanent hair removal works on:
