Women’s Excessive Facial Hair Growth – there’s no need to suffer!

Excessive facial or body hair in women is a condition called hirsutism. Hirsutism either runs in the family, usually presenting at menopause and puberty, or it can be an indicator of a larger underlying problem. Research indicates that up to 10-12% of the Australian female population is affected by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which can be linked to excessive hair growth and hirsutism.

Hereditary hirsutism is largely an aesthetic rather than a health concern. When not hereditary it is most likely the result of excessive male hormone production (adrenal virilism), or an increased sensitivity of the hair follicle to normal male hormone levels. It is important to both a woman’s health and her self-con dence to have this condition diagnosed by a doctor. Hirsutism and any hormone imbalance that may underlie this condition can be treated. Excessive facial and/or body hair can be managed. Electrolysis is one means of managing excess hair but this can be painful, slow and very costly requiring many visits as only one follicle at a time is usually treated by sending an electrical pulse down the hair shaft.

Laser hair removal (as distinct from the much less effective IPL) is a much more manageable maintenance procedure as it treats a larger number of follicles at a time, is more comfortable than electrolysis and provides fast effective treatments. Hormonal hair growth via Laser Hair Removal therapy is efficient and manageable but not always a permanent solution as it is likely that hormonal hair regrowth may occur although usually at a much slower rate and usually much thinner than before, so hirsutism sufferers should be wary of claims by any service provider that they will achieve a permanent solution.

A woman might consider bleaching her facial hair, which makes it less visible alternatively regularly waxing can also assist. All of these methods should be used as means to treating the symptom, but any woman with progressing hirsutism should consult a doctor for a diagnosis in order not to compromise her health, or her self-confidence.

Nad’s Laser Hair Removal Clinic treats a number of hirsutism sufferer’s however warns that when it comes to facial hair, clients need to carefully select their treatment provider as Nad’s Clinics see a large number of clients that have been treated by inexperienced IPL and Laser Clinics. Inappropriate treatment can result in additional hair growth to facial or hormonal areas. Nad’s Laser Hair Removal Clinic warns that ONLY the affected areas should be treated by highly skilled therapists that have a sound understanding and many years experience in dealing with skin as inappropriate treatments may result in adverse side effects.. Additionally, certain medications are photosensitive and can result in an adverse affect if a pre treatment Consultation is not accurately conducted by skilled Therapists.

Regardless of whether you are male or female, young or old, you may be one of the thousands of people getting laser hair removal treatment today. Men who want a hairless back, women who do not want hair on their upper lip, arms or bikini line and even teenagers who don’t want to deal with a razor are turning to laser hair removal to remove hair permanently.

How Does Laser Hair Work? 

Minimally invasive technology using laser hair removal removes hair in a fairly painless way. Using a special light, the light is picked up by the pigment in the hair  follicle, and it heats the hair follicle and it actually removes and destroys the actively hair follicle cells leading to long term hair removal.

A numbing gel is rubbed on the area first to help ease any pain the patient may feel, which is very minimal and then the pulsing light is applied. This treatment does come with a price tag, ranging from $350 to $500 per treatment. When you think of the razors, shaving cream and waxing costs- it doesn’t seem like a bad option really and it is no surprise that hundreds of men and women and even teenagers are getting the treatment done to be rid of body hair forever.

Other Forms of Hair Removal

•    Home waxing

•    Sugar waxing

More than a million people underwent laser hair removal last year. When regular hospitals are not bringing in patients for regular health issues,  medical spas, spas and other “elective” services are very busy performing more cosmetic procedures  whether breast augmentation or laser hair removal, people are spending their money on elective services. With so much money pouring into these services, it’s no wonder that men and women are looking to laser hair removal schools. Laser skin and hair school doesn’t take years to graduate from and more often than not, a laser clinic is connected to the school, ensuring that graduates receive hands on training before they graduate.

Silky smooth skin will not ever go out of fashion. Perhaps that is why people are spending the money now to save money on disposable razors and waxing services in the future. For men and women of all ages, laser hair removal is where it’s at.
