Re: I’m a bearded Lady
No, they just need to get the condition under control so that the stimulation of the follicles stops. The electrologist can then get rid of what’s there, without new hair complicating the issue. However, yeh, a woman can get all her hair permanently removed with electrolysis and then pregnancy or menopause can cause stimulation of dormant follicles, so they will need a bit of treatment again to get rid of these new hairs.
I gave an example to show that sometimes women don’t realise they have an underlying hormonal issue but the electrologist can pick it up when they see the client isn’t responding in the way they should - so they tell them to see an endo. In the same way, some women are sure they have PCOS or a hormonal issue but it turns out they don’t and it’s straightforward to get rid of the hair. It’s a really complicated issue. I’d say that the really expert electrologists who have devoted their lives to understanding hair have a far better grasp of it than medical doctors because they deal with it day in day out.
