Can I Do Electrolysis On Face After Recovering From Breast Cancer?
Hi ,
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2010. I had surgery to remove the tumour.I finished chemotherapy in June of this year and I finished radiation in August of this year. I am on Hereceptin every 3 weeks and Tamoxifen. Can I do electrolysis on my face because I have noticed long hairs growing.

There is no relationship between electrolysis and breast cancer, furthermore- any cosmetic treatments of your face or body... Like doing your nails, dyeing your hair, or spa treatments also are not harmful. So treat yourself... and do not be afraid that any beauty treatments, including electrolysis, will negatively affect your prognosis. I wish you the best of luck in your health and recovery.
