Excess Hair

Excess hair growth is characterised by the growth of darker, coarser hair in areas typically seen outside of what are considered to be ‘normal’ patterns of growth. This condition can impact individuals, leading to embarrassment, and a loss of confidence. Excess hair often affects women more than men as men naturally have more hair on their face and body, compared to women. It has also been a long-standing trend for women to remove some of their body hair (particularly on their legs, under the arms and around the bikini line), as this is seen to be a common trait associated with femininity.

Hirsutism is a condition whereby excessive hair growth is particularly significant, often affecting the face, chest, back, and abdomen. The presence of excess hair can have profound psychological and emotional effects on individuals, impacting self-esteem and quality of life.

Common causes of excess hair

Hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) such as testosterone, are often the primary cause of excess hair growth. Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal gland disorders, and certain medications can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to the growth of excess hair or hirsutism.

Treatment options for excess hair

Many people with excess hair growth or hirsutism can experience social anxiety and may undergo regular grooming rituals to conceal or remove the unwanted hair, such as frequent shaving, waxing, or plucking.

Refresh MediSpa offers advanced treatments to address excess hair growth and help individuals achieve smoother, hair-free skin. Laser hair removal is a popular option for long-term hair reduction, targeting hair follicles with concentrated beams of light to inhibit future growth. Unlike traditional methods like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal provides lasting results and can effectively treat large areas of the body with minimal discomfort.

Refresh MediSpa’s trained professionals customise treatment plans to suit each client’s unique needs and skin type, ensuring safe and effective results. By targeting the root cause of excess hair growth and providing tailored solutions, Refresh MediSpa helps individuals regain confidence and feel more comfortable in their skin. With a combination of cutting-edge technology and expert care, excess hair growth can be effectively managed, allowing individuals to embrace their natural beauty and live life with confidence.
