ABSTRACT

The role of the electrologist is, of course, to permanently remove unwanted hair from the face and body. Many electro legists treat only females, but males frequently seek treatment as well. Men may desire to be rid of hair for any number of reasons: because they dislike shaving or have sensitive skin which makes shaving painful or difficult, because they are bothered by ingrown hairs, because they wish to have an even beard or hair line, because hair grows in unwanted areas like the back, or more thickly than wanted, or simply because hair on certain parts of their bodies just does not fit their self-image, Into the latter category fall males with transgender feelings—men who wish to become women, or more like women. 1
