Are there any fertility-related risks associated with electrolysis? looking to get it done for 18 yo daughter who is self-conscious of the dark hair she has on her stomach & back, but wanted to ensure it wont cause fertility issues in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't think of any: The electrolysis process involves superficial layers of the skin & just below the surface. It does not trigger anything entering the bloodstream other than common stress hormones & they are triggered by daily life. Knowing the systems as I do I can't thing of any effect this procedure has on fertility or beyond the skin involved. Other reviewers may think of some but I can't.
