At Dermathetics in Farringdon, we understand that unwanted hair can be a source of frustration. Our expert team offers advanced, long-lasting solutions to treat excessive hair growth effectively and comfortably. Below, we answer your key questions about unwanted hair and how we can help.
Unwanted hair refers to excessive or noticeable hair growth, often more prominent in women after menopause. Fine hair is normal across the body, including the face, but when it becomes thick or dark—particularly on the face, neck, chest, tummy, lower back, buttocks, or thighs—it’s known as hirsutism. A common cause is PCOS-related hair growth, linked to elevated androgen levels from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). At Dermathetics, we offer tailored treatments to address this concern for all clients.
Excessive hair growth is primarily driven by:
● Androgens: These hormones, present in both men and women, stimulate hair growth when overproduced.
● Hormonal Conditions: Conditions like PCOS, Cushing’s syndrome, or acromegaly increase androgen levels, leading to unwanted hair. PCOS is a frequent culprit, especially for facial and body hair.
● Medications: Certain drugs or steroids with hormone-like effects can trigger hair growth.
● Age: Hormonal shifts, such as during menopause, may enhance hair visibility.
Our Dermathetics medical practitioners can assess the underlying cause during a consultation.
You can manage unwanted hair at home or opt for professional treatments:
● At-Home Methods: Shaving, waxing, tweezing, threading, or hair removal creams offer temporary relief but may cause irritation or ingrown hairs, with hair regrowing quickly.
● Professional Treatments: For longer-lasting results, options include electrolysis, prescription creams, chemical depilation, or laser hair removal.
At Dermathetics, we use the advanced Smart Diode Medical Grade Laser for effective, comfortable, and often permanent hair reduction, suitable for all skin types and body areas.
