Written in plain terms for lay readers by certified electrologist and medical laser technician Laura M. Regan, Winning the Battle Against Unwanted Hair Growth is far more than cosmetic guide--in addition to weighing the pros and cons of different hair removal methods, Regan also explores hormonal imbalance and other serious health problems that can cause excessive hair growth in women, and stresses that removing the hair itself is not as important as identifying such conditions (if one is present) and receiving proper treatment. Of course, the natural hormonal changes caused by menopause or other factors can lead to excess unwanted hair as well. Winning the Battle Against Unwanted Hair Growth is not just for women; men can also have extreme unwanted hair growth, and a chapter is devoted especially to men in this unfortunate situation. Packed with no-nonsense information about hair removal methods ranging from shaving to depilatories to electrolysis and more, Winning the Battle Against Unwanted Hair Growth is highly recommended as a first-rate, professional's-eye-view of its subject.
