A few facts!

The main driving force behind much of our unwanted hair is testosterone.

A male will produce a massive amount compared to a female (who only synthesize this in her adrenal glands) and yet, she still has sufficient to have unwanted hair when the balance of estrogen is reduced.

Separate, for a moment, body hair from Facial hair.

Facial hair (beard) is very very androgen hormone sensitive and is defined as ‘sexual terminal hair’ We have around 80,000 follicles in this area and that is about 500 per square centimetre (put your fingertip on your upper lip… you have just covered 500 follicles!

We have around 30% fully active at any one time (it can be higher but discount new and late anagen hairs and that’s what you are left with.

Remove every single visible hair on your face and you have only removed 30%.

The main problem is that it is difficult to damage the follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue and to do this greater than the body’s natural ability to repaitr the damage.

Whatever we want to believe these are factual rather than glossy ad material.
