Is there a surgery to remove the hair follicle from the skin?

January 12, 2017
Asked By:HopelessDesire in Australia, AU

 Not lazer... I mean actual surgery where you have to cut the skin? Lazer, IPL and Electrolysis have not worked. I would do anything to have permanent hair removal, even if that means having surgery.
