Unwanted Hair

Unwanted hair involves the presence of hair or excess hair in areas of the body that are either visible or create discomfort. For women, unwanted hair can appear on the face, the upper lip or between the brows. Removing unwanted hair is a cosmetic procedure that can help alleviate some social and emotional distress.

Unwanted hair can appear anywhere on the body

While women are commonly treated for excess hair, men can experience the condition as well, especially along the upper back and shoulders.

Causes of Excess Hair

Excess hair is typically a hereditary trait. In some cases, women may have a condition known as hirsutism, which creates an excess of hair in male-like patterns and is related to hormone imbalances. Excess hair is not caused by shaving or waxing.

Treatments for Hair Removal

Our team utilizes laser hair removal for removing unwanted hair. Laser hair removal utilizes specific wavelengths of light that are drawn to the melanin (pigment) at the “root” or bulb of the hair.
