An electroepilation apparatus (Depilatron) equipped
with a metal tweezer was studied with reference to possible permanent
removal of facial hair in women with hypertrichosis. 8 women were
epilated on a fixed area of 1 cm2 and counts of the
epilated hairs were done. 5-7 months later, the same area was
epilated and the terminal hairs counted. No significant difference
in the hair counts was found on the two epilations. The method
must be considered inapplicable for permanent removal of superfluous
hair.
