Hirsutism is a disorder that involves excessive hair in women in typically male areas. This means that visible dark hair grows where it does not normally occur in women: above the upper lip, on the chin, back, buttocks, abdomen or inner thighs. Their cause is a high level of male hormones, mainly testosterone in the female body. Sometimes caused by certain androgenic drugs. Hirsutism on the face is particularly troublesome. Dark chin hair and a moustache can cause complexes and significantly affect self-esteem. If you are wondering what to do about hirsutism, it is worth consulting an endocrinologist. A doctor who deals with endocrine disorders should be able to find an effective solution for you. Laser hair removal can be helpful in getting rid of excessive hair quickly. The laser energy produces a thermal effect on the hair root, leading to damage. However, you must bear in mind that hormonal disturbances can significantly impair the effectiveness of laser therapy. Before carrying out a laser hair removal treatment, the cosmetologist should be informed about this condition.
