Our team offers several treatment options for removing excess hair.
Women normally produce low levels of male hormones (androgens). In some cases, this is due to genetics. If your body makes too much of this hormone, you may have unwanted hair growth. A common cause of hirsutism is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Other rare possible causes of excessive hair growth are tumor or cancer of the adrenal gland, tumor or cancer of the ovary, Cushing syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, hyperthecosis (a condition in which the ovaries produce too much male hormone), and use of certain medications, including testosterone, danazol, anabolic steroids, glucocorticoids, cyclosporine, minoxidil and phenytoin.
There are a number of ways to remove or treat unwanted hair. Some treatment effects last longer than others. Temporary hair removal options include shaving, tweezing, waxing and chemical hair removers. Permanent removal options can include electrolysis and laser hair removal.
