One hundred and five hirsute women were examined. Elevated levels of at least one androgen were found in 58 women, most often free testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and delta 4-androstenedione. No significant correlation was found between level of androgens and hirsutism score or frequency of menstrual disturbances other than amenorrhea. Fifty-three women were examined at least 6 months after electroepilation. A significant decrease in hirsutism score and frequency of self-treatment was found. Scarring was not observed. Electroepilation performed by an experienced person should be recommended as an excellent treatment for hirsutism.Downloads
