Our eyesight diminishes as we age, usually starting at around at age 40 (depending on a number of factors, of course). That’s around the same time a lot of women start experiencing perimenopause, which can be as early as your 30’s or not for another decade or two later.
During perimenopause, many women experience hormonal changes (like shifting ratios of estrogen and testosterone) that can lead to increased facial hair growth. Common areas include the chin, upper lip and sides of face.
Put these two life changes together, and you can come up with a not-so-ideal situation. Extra hair growth combined with your eyesight changing can lead to you not noticing those new hairs poking out. Peach fuzz can also intensify at this time, making for a second teenager kind of experience where you don’t know what your body is doing!
Luckily, we have electrolysis to come to the rescue. This permanent hair removal solution can deal with both the thicker, wiry hairs that start showing up on your chin as well as the peach fuzz, if it bothers you. Beginning treatment early can lead to best results, and that second set of eyes can help remove those new hairs that you may have missed. Electrolysis can help maintain confidence during the physical changes you find yourself going through.
Be sure to work with an electrologist who understands hormonal impacts on your skin, and discuss any medications or hormonal treatments with your practitioner. Together you can establish a self-care ritual to make you feel your best.
