Electrolysis for Teens & Adolescents

Puberty is one of the most significant rites of passage in a young person’s life. It marks the transition from childhood to young adulthood, and with it comes intense hormonal changes. You may grow hair in places that you don’t like. For girls, you may grow upper lip hair that makes you feel like you have a moustache.
