Depilatory
Definition:
(a.) Having the quality or power of removing hair.
(n.) An application used to take off hair.
Example Sentences:
(1) Waxing and depilatories were used by less than 6 percent of patients on the face and by about 20 percent on other parts of the body.
(2) It was concluded that if hair has to be removed a depilatory is the agent of choice.
(3) Management includes cessation of shaving, the use of depilatories or topical antibiotics and modification of shaving techniques.
(4) In addition, the depilatory agent proved bactericidal against 3 pathogenic strains (S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and E. coli).
(5) The agent was suspected to be Magic Shave, a chemical depilatory powder containing calcium hydroxide as the active ingredient.
(6) Five female patients with this complication had successful removal of the excessive hair with a calcium thioglycolate depilatory agent.
(7) The latter consisted in a limited exeresis of the portals and in the extraction of the hairs with a brush, followed in principle by a weekly depilatory treatment until the wound was closed.
(8) The depilatory was expensive and may cause sensitivity reactions in a few individuals, but was found to be the easiest and most efficient method of removing hair.
(9) The greatest increase in blood flow rates occurred in woolled skin (+500%) during mEGF infusion, a result which in itself may have been disparate with the known depilatory effects of EGF.
(10) The use of a depilatory cream as an alternative to a razor would seem to have the advantages of increasing patient comfort; of avoiding injuries inflicted by even skilful shaving; and perhaps of diminishing the incidence of wound infection, without significant risk of reaction to the depilatory.
(11) Lotion depilatories, or hair clippers, combined with routine lifting of ingrown hairs, are the most effective treatments, although complete cessation of shaving is first required.
(12) The clinical and histological signs of the disease were similar to those seen experimentally when corticosteroids are used as chemical depilatory agents.
(13) The majority of patients with hirsuties may be adequately managed with a careful explanation of their condition and advice about depilatory techniques.
(14) This study compares the efficiency, safety and cost of hair removal before surgery, with a safety razor, an electric clipper and a depilatory.
(15) The importance of this model to hair follicle biology is further demonstrated by the observations that TGF-beta 1 has a negative growth regulatory effect on hair follicles in vitro and that EGF and its other receptor ligand TGF-alpha mimic the in vivo depilatory effects of EGF that have been reported for sheep and mice.
(16) For a one year period, hair was removed from the operative site with clippers rather than by shaving with a razor or by application of depilatories.
(17) Preparation of skin with a chemical depilatory agent causes no increase in skin microflora, in contrast to the effects of shaving as demonstrated by earlier studies.
(18) Measurements were made preinfusion and at +3, +12, +24, +27 and +48 h. We wished to assess relationships between blood flow rates and known functional changes in various organs during EGF treatment, especially any relationship between skin blood flow rate and the known depilatory effects of the protein in sheep.
(19) These results suggest that, in rams, depilatory doses of mouse EGF temporarily impair gonadotrophin and androgen secretion by inhibiting LHRH release from the hypothalamus.
(20) From an examination of (1) psychological and social stresses documented by the medical profession of women with amounts of hair departing from what is considered to be the "feminine" distribution of hair (idiopathic hirsutism), (2) biomedical information about male and female hair growth and distribution, (3) definitional influences of society, and (4) instrumental maneuverings of depilatory industries, this paper offers insights about the alteration of natural female facial and body hair to conform to a social construct of gender status.
Rusma
Definition:
(n.) A depilatory made of orpiment and quicklime, and used by the Turks. See Rhusma.
