Thanks for your explanation Dee. I’m 35 and shaved the upper arm hairs of in the summer. I basically shaved a bit below the elbow on up and haven’t reshaved that area since August–there are fewer hairs around the elbow and they appear thinner but my upper arms which didn’t have much hair to begin, do seem a bit darker. I think that I’m past my “peak” for hair growth so I really don’t know why I would get these hairs now.
Going back to waxing. Have you had patients who’ve had the type of change that Olivia wrote about? I’ve read quite a few posts and other info on the web which claims that plucking hairs out from the roots or waxing causes coarser hairs. Could the waxing or plucking stimulate this latent hormone?
Thanks again!
