Surgical depilation for the treatment of pseudofolliculitis or local hirsutism of the face: experience in the first 40 patients.

Abstract
Forty patients underwent surgical depilation for pseudofolliculitis barbae or local hirsutism of the face during a 15-year period. The operative method and its results and pitfalls are discussed. Although it is not the treatment of choice, this operation is very useful when other therapy has not been successful. This seems especially true in male-to-female transsexuals.
