Excess or unwanted hair is a common concern that can affect both men and women and negatively affect body image and self-esteem. Unwanted hair can occur on various areas of the face and body, but treatment is available to reduce its appearance. Some people may simply choose to get hair removal treatment to avoid the need for regular shaving and waxing as a personal preference.
The Greville Clinic takes a look at the causes of excess or unwanted hair and how common this concern is, as well as detailing suitable treatment options available at our clinic.
Excess or wanted hair can be caused by genetics or a specific condition, with the most common ones including hirsutism (excessive hair growth affecting women due to an increase in androgens) and hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth that can affect both men and women, often running in the family).
Some people may just have dark hair due to their genetics, or may have normal amounts of hair that they would like to remove for convenience.
Many people experience excess or unwanted hair. It’s estimated that 5 to 10 percent of women are affected by excess hair growth.
