Disturbing hairiness body

Disturbing hair on the body is common and is considered unwanted or uncomfortable by many people. This can affect different parts of the body, such as the face, back, chest, abdomen, legs or arms. Everyone experiences this in his or her own way. Fortunately, there are effective treatments, such as laser hair removal and electric epilation, to reduce unwanted hair growth.

Causes of excessive or unwanted hair growth

Hair growth is largely genetic, but can also be affected by hormonal fluctuations. In women, excess hair, such as on the face or abdomen, can be the result of hormonal imbalance, such as due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or menopause. In men, genetic predisposition can cause intensive hair growth on the back or shoulders, for example

Medical treatments, such as some medications, can also cause excessive hair growth as a side effect. Stress, lifestyle, and diet can also play a role in hair growth and density to a lesser extent.

Treatment options

For those who are bothered by excessive body hair, there are several ways we can remove or reduce it:

  • Laser hair removal: Laser hair removal is a semi-permanent solution in which a laser damages the hair follicle, reducing or even eliminating hair growth. These treatments are effective, especially with darker hairs.
  • Electric epilation: Electric epilation uses electric current to destroy the hair follicle, preventing the hair from coming back. This is a permanent solution.
