When we reach a certain age, our body begins to change...
No, this isn’t a story of the birds and the bees. This is the story of hirsutism and hypertrichosis.
Hypertrichosis brings more hair to places where it’s somewhat expected — like legs — while hirsutism introduces hair (typically in women) in places like the face, chest, back, and buttocks.
And before you start having junior high flashbacks, you should know that 10-15% of women (and some men) suffer from these conditions, and the symptoms only get worse with age.
This excessive hair growth often traces back to hormonal imbalances
with conditions like PCOS, certain medications, and even pregnancy playing leading roles.
Many might turn to laser treatments, but the results may not last — plus they only work on some skin tones and hair colors.
This is where electrolysis shines.
Electrolysis uses gentle electric currents to target hair follicles, stopping future hair growth for good. And unlike laser treatments, it’s the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal.
Hirsutism or hypertrichosis is sometimes unavoidable—but unwanted hair growth doesn’t have to be. Get back in the driver’s seat with Nios.
