Abstract

By cutting away their roots, unwanted terminal hairs can be removed when they are in their active phase (anagen) by a method called surgical (subcutaneous) depilation. There can be recurrences when hirsutism is being treated in females, because of vellus hairs which have their roots in the dermis. The residual vellus hairs can be eradicated by electrical depilation, however. Recurrences in males (pseudofolliculitis) are usually due to terminal hairs in a resting place (telogen); these "club hairs" can also be removed by electrical depilation.
