Which of the following is a common treatment for hirsutism?

Electrolysis
Retinoids
Chemical peels
Microdermabrasion

The correct answer is: Electrolysis

Electrolysis is recognized as a common treatment for hirsutism because it effectively removes unwanted hair by using an electric current to destroy the hair follicle. This method is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience excessive hair growth due to hormonal imbalances or other underlying conditions. Unlike other treatment options listed, electrolysis provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair, making it especially suitable for managing hirsutism. Other treatments mentioned have different primary uses. For instance, retinoids are primarily used to treat acne and improve skin texture but do not specifically target hair removal. Chemical peels focus on exfoliation and rejuvenation of the skin, addressing concerns like hyperpigmentation or acne scars rather than hair growth. Microdermabrasion is designed to exfoliate the skin and enhance its appearance but is not an effective method for treating hirsutism.
