If none of the options out there are really looking good to you- although they should, there are also prescription treatments for hair removal in Chicago. There is a cream called eflornithine, and is available by prescription to treat facial hair growth in women. The cream is applied twice a day until the hair becomes softer and lighter. Side effects may include skin irritation and acne. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist if you are concerned about hair growth and removal. Antiandrogen medications are another method that doctors prescribe to reduce the appearance of unwanted hair. Because androgen hormones can be responsible for hair growth in unwanted areas, these medications can reduce hair growth by blocking androgen production. Doctors often prescribe oral contraceptives in conjunction with these medications to enhance their effect, avoid pregnancy (since antiandrogens can be harmful to a developing fetus) and help regularize the menstrual cycle in girls who need it. Deciding to remove body hair is a personal choice. Getting rid of body hair doesn't make a person healthier, and you shouldn't feel pressured to do so if you don't want to. Some cultures view body hair as beautiful and natural, so do what feels right to you!
