Unwanted Hair Growth: Causes, Concerns, and Safe Removal Options
Excess facial or body hair can be difficult to manage with daily routines like shaving or waxing. At Healthpoint Cosmetic, we offer targeted treatments that reduce unwanted hair safely and effectively without irritation or downtime. Our approach provides long-term results for smoother skin and greater confidence.
Causes of Unwanted Hair Growth
Unwanted hair can develop for several reasons, including:
Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormones, particularly an increase in androgens (male hormones), can stimulate excess hair growth.
Genetics: Family history often plays a major role in determining how much and where hair grows.
Medical conditions: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal gland disorders, and thyroid imbalances can lead to increased hair growth.
Certain medications: Some drugs, such as anabolic steroids or hormone treatments, may trigger hirsutism as a side effect.
Understanding the underlying cause helps our specialists recommend the most effective, personalized treatment plan.
