LASER HAIR REMOVAL SOLUTIONS FOR UNWANTED HAIR
Treating hirsutism and excess hair growth with laser hair removal is one of the safest, most effective treatments to permanently remove excessive, unwanted hair. Excessive hair growth in both women and men is a huge cosmetic issue for many people throughout the world. While some people simply have more facial and body hair than others due to genetics or hormones, hirsutism is a condition with excessive hair growth that also affects many people. Whether it’s excess hair on the body, excess hair on the face or hirsutism, laser hair removal procedures are available to permanently remove unwanted hair.
Facial and body hair is your skin’s natural protective mechanism that grows everywhere in different degrees of color, texture and consistency. However, you may have appearance issues and become self-consciousness due to your excess hair growth in unwanted areas.
It’s best to consult with a board certified dermatologist such as Dr. Umar of FineTouch Dermatology when addressing excessive hair issues with laser hair removal.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT FOR EXCESS HAIR GROWTH
Hirsutism typically occurs in individuals with excessively high levels of androgens and/or a hypersensitivity to androgens. Though hirsutism occurs in women 90 percent of the time, men can also be affected be it. This condition contributes to excessive hair growth on certain areas of the body, usually the face and chest.
On the other hand, some people just naturally have thicker, darker hair on the face and body. Darker, thicker hair in certain normal areas of the face and body is known as either terminal hair or axillary hair, which is dependent on the exact location. While vellus hair — “peach fuzz” — grows all over the face and body, excessive hair is due to terminal, axillary or androgenic hair.
Although shaving, plucking, waxing and electrolysis are viable solutions for temporarily removing hair, they are all time-consuming hair removal procedures. Daily, weekly or monthly maintenance is also required since they are not permanent hair removal solutions, except in certain electrolysis treatments.
Laser hair removal treats your existing, visible hair each laser hair removal treatment. Laser treatments eventually result in a permanent reduction of hair and may eliminate it completely. Each laser hair removal treatment works by putting your existing hair into the telogen resting phase, which is when follicles don’t produce new hair shafts. Due to the resting and growth phases of hair, you’ll need multiple laser hair removal treatments to permanently remove unwanted hair.
