I usually go to electrolosis about once a month for a half hour....it's been 4 months and I have not needed it, although I may go for 15 minutes next week. A remarkable improvement! Also, the hair on my head used to fall out in clumps; and that has slowed down considerably as well. My testosterone level went from 86 to 30, and other blood test results improved also. I have had many other positive results with Demulin. This bcp is working very well for me. Hope this helps.
