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.
Removing excessive hair is recommended if it interferes with an individual’s physical or mental wellbeing. Medical conditions such as hirsutism, hormonal imbalances or polycystic ovary syndrome can lead to abnormal hair growth that can cause distress and discomfort. In such cases, removing excess hair may be necessary for cosmetic and therapeutic reasons.
If you’re experiencing excessive or unwanted hair and are looking for a clinic that provides the latest in hair removal treatments, arrange a complimentary consultation at The Greville Clinic today. We can discuss your concerns and recommend the most suitable hair removal methods for your skin.
The signs and symptoms of excess or unwanted hair can include:
Unwanted hair on the face or body can be reduced long term with laser.
SHR laser hair removal heats the follicle gradually across repeated passes, which is more comfortable than older methods and suits a wider range of skin tones.
Many people experience excess or unwanted hair. It’s estimated that 5 to 10 percent of women are affected by excess hair growth. An increasing number of both men and women also desire smooth, hair-free skin for aesthetic reasons. As a result, hair removal treatments are now one of the most highly sought out options at skin and laser clinics across Australia and the world.
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.
