CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE HAIR GROWTH
Excessive hair growth can be categorized into two forms: hypertrichosis and hirsutism. Hypertrichosis entails the presence of surplus hair in either a typical or irregular distribution, stemming from various factors including genetics, medications, hormonal imbalances, malnutrition, tumors, or metabolic issues. On the other hand, hirsutism is characterized by the development of excessive hair in women, mirroring a male pattern such as the beard, mustache, or lower abdomen. The causes of hirsutism can range from hormonal irregularities, medications, tumors, to hereditary factors.

Post-treatment, we provide relief in the form of soothing ice packs and recommend over-the-counter pain relief medicine like acetaminophen for any discomfort.

In professional laser hair removal, the extent of hair removal per session varies based on body location, with areas of thinner skin (e.g., bikini and armpits) typically exhibiting a more favorable response compared to areas with thicker skin (e.g., the back and chin). Anticipate an approximate 10-20 percent reduction in hair growth with each treatment session. Laser hair removal sessions are typically scheduled at intervals of every 4-8 weeks. It’s worth noting that any regrowth tends to manifest as lighter and finer-textured hair.
