14 DAY TRIAL // A family of four from Nepal have had their life changed by a laser treatment for hair removal. Devi Budhathoki and her kids, Manjura, Niraj and Mandira, have all been treated in the UK.
The Budhathokis all suffer from “werewolf syndrome,” which means that they have hair growing on their face, neck, hands and other parts of their bodies which are dubbed unusual.
Laser hair removal has left them free from undesired facial hair, but it comes with side effects. Excessive laser hair removal therapy can lead to scarring. Other results of the treatment can be dermatitis and hypersensitivity of the skin.
Mirror writes that Budhathoki has wished for her children to lose the hair in order to escape bullying at their school.
They live in a small village and risk being harassed and attacked. Her son has already told his classmates about the transformation and he is eager to get back home.
