The unwanted hair is usually dark & coarse and grows on women’s faces, back, arms, and chests. The pattern of growth of these hairs is related to virilisation.

What causes Excessive Hair?

• Polycystic ovary syndrome is caused due to imbalance of sex hormones
• Crushing syndrome occurs due to a high cortisol level in the body
• There are rare chances of an androgen-secreting tumour in adrenal glands or ovaries that cause hirsutism
• Medication for endometriosis can give rise to the condition of excessive hair growth in the body and facial area

Symptoms of Excess Hair

• Loss of hair from the head takes place on a massive scale causing bald scalp
• The sizes of the breasts are reduced substantially
• Build of acne on the face
• The deepening & hoarse voice of a woman
• Enlargement of the clitoris

Hirsutism is caused mainly due to hormonal imbalance. Though this condition doesn’t lead to physical pain, this might be why depression in many women. This condition arises when male hormones are produced excessively in a woman.

FAQs

What are the most effective non-surgical treatments for excess hair?

At Fiore, we believe in the power of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to combat excess hair because it is highly effective, safe, reduces future ingrown hairs, and offers long-lasting results.

Our IPL treatments can effectively reduce the density, thickness, and visibility of unwanted hair over multiple sessions. However, since hirsutism is hormone-related, hair can regrow if hormonal imbalances persist.

IPL is safe for most skin types, but how well it works depends on your skin colour and hair colour. If you have darker skin, there is a bigger chance of side effects if it is not done right. That’s why it is important to go to a qualified professional.

IPL hair reduction can be used on many parts of your body, including your face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area.

People who are pregnant, have certain skin problems like eczema or psoriasis, have had skin cancer, or are taking medicines that make skin sensitive to light should not have IPL. It’s important to talk to a trained professional first to make sure it’s safe for you.

Bear in mind, hair growth varies from person to person. Some hair may grow back after stopping IPL treatments, but usually it will be finer and lighter than before. To keep results, many people have occasional maintenance sessions.
