ABSTRACT:
The invention features a method of removing a hair, involving mechanically or chemically removing the hair to expose the follicle of the hair, and then treating the follicle to inhibit its ability to regenerate a hair. Removing the hair facilitates the uptake of a follicle-inactivating compound and thus allows for long-term inhibition of hair growth.
