When we reach a certain age, our body begins to change...

No, this isn’t a story of the birds and the bees. This is the story of hirsutism and hypertrichosis.

Hypertrichosis is excessive hair growth, over and above the normal for the age, sex and race of an individual (DermNet). It can develop all over the body, but mostly in the somewhat expected areas—like legs.

Hirsutism is more than just "a lot of hair"; it's a condition characterized by the growth of coarse, dark hair in areas where women typically have fine hair, such as the face (chin, upper lip), chest, back and buttocks. It mainly affects females (40%) and doesn’t have a specific known cause. Many factors can contribute to hirsutism, including hormonal imbalances, like those seen with PCOS hair growth, certain medications, or even genetics (Cleveland Clinics).


The sad news? The symptoms of hypertrichosis and hirsutism hair growth often only get worse with age. We feel you. This isn't just about aesthetics; it can significantly impact self-esteem and daily life.


Hair Removal for Hirsutism

You might have tried various methods to manage your female facial hair or excessive hair growth, from bleaching to threading. While these offer temporary camouflage or removal, they don't address the root of the problem or only provide a permanent solution. Understanding what causes hirsutism is the first step, and the next is choosing a treatment that truly works. Whether you're dealing with mild hirsutism or more significant growth, the emotional burden is real, and a lasting solution can be life-changing. Many people might turn to laser treatments, but the results may not last—plus they only work on some skin tones and hair colors.

This is where electrolysis shines.

Why Electrolysis is the Answer to Hirsutism

When it comes to permanent hair removal, electrolysis stands alone. Unlike laser, which primarily targets pigment and is less effective on lighter hair or darker skin tones, electrolysis works on all hair colors and skin types. It's a meticulously precise process where a tiny, sterile tip is inserted into each hair follicle, delivering a gentle electrical current that destroys the follicle's ability to regrow hair. This means true, permanent hair removal for your unwanted hair.

For those grappling with hormonal facial hair or the persistent regrowth that other methods can't conquer, electrolysis offers unparalleled efficacy. We often hear from our clients in New York who have spent years and fortunes on temporary solutions, only to find themselves back where they started. Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Precise, safe and reliable choice for your hirsutism treatment.

Hirsutism or hypertrichosis is sometimes unavoidable—but unwanted hair growth doesn’t have to be. Get back in the driver’s seat with Nios. At our spa, your comfort and results are our top priority: Restoring not just smooth skin, but also your confidence.

Send that excess hair packing.

Electrolysis uses a refined, bendy probe to deliver heat directly to and destroy hair roots.
It doesn’t rely on hair or skin color, as opposed to other hair removal methods. This is why it’s the only method that can even treat white, gray, red, and fuzz hair and any skin color.
It’s therefore the only FDA-approved method to claim permanent removal (others can only offer permanent reduction).

I was pleasantly surprised by how minimal the discomfort was during my electrolysis treatment. Compared to other methods I've tried, it was virtually painless, leaving me feeling confident and at ease.

Client Testimonials
“Our go-to for
pampering sessions”
Avery Nusbaum
“Everyone here is helpful, kind, and mindful of what the process is like for the client”
I am currently lying on the table at Nios getting electrolysis on the stomach, and I must say I feel so safe with these Electrologists. They always ask, “are you ok? How are you feeling?” In addition, their clientele includes a lot of trans folks and I myself am trans- I feel very affirmed and respected for who I am. I’m currently seeing Jennifer and Tara on a standing basis, and they are both fantastic! I highly recommend Nios!
Jasmine B
“Nios the facility is great- very clean with a friendly front desk staff”
However, if you're like me, the most important piece of the electrolysis experience is the electrologist his or herself and I must say that Tshazia definitely makes the weekly commute from Jersey to Manhattan worth it. I've been booking with Tshazia for about the past month and a half and I am already starting to see results. I am getting my face treated- which can be a very sensitive area. Tshazia always makes sure that I am as comfortable as possible and she really educates me about the process along the way. Plus, she is just an all around caring and awesome human being. Booking with her really makes my hour long (sometimes more) sessions fly by!
