What is Hirsutism and How Do
You Manage it Effectively?
• Hirsutism refers to a condition in which women develop unwanted hair.
Male-pattern hair growth can make women feel concerned and look for
every possible remedy. While there are other causes of increased hair
growth in undesired areas of the body, hirsutism results in excessive
amounts of dark, course hair on chest, face, and back. Women may
develop this condition due to excess male hormones, such as
testosterone.
• When standard treatment options do not produce desired results, your
doctor may recommend procedures used to remove hair permanently.
Here, you will have two options:
•
Electrolysis: It involves inserting a tiny needle into hair follicles and emit electric
current to destroy the follicle. It produces good results, but need multiple
treatments.
• Laser Therapy: It is usually the safest way to get rid of unwanted hair. You need
to find a specialist with laser hair removal equipment and ask them if you are a
good candidate for laser therapy. The procedure involves using a laser light to
damage hair follicles, which will keep hair from growing back.
