Excessive Body Hair

Body hair grown excessively over the various body parts other than head are a source of discomfort and self-consciousness for many.

At Orchid Clinic, we are dedicated to helping you understand and address these concerns effectively. 

Unwanted Body Hair

Causes of Unwanted Body Hair:

  • Hormonal Imbalances: An imbalance in hormones, such as an excess of androgens (male hormones), can lead to increased body hair growth in both men and women.
  • Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in determining your body’s natural hair growth patterns. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have more body hair.
  • Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can lead to excessive body hair growth due to hormonal disruptions.
  • Medications: Some medications may stimulate hair growth as a side effect.

Common Symptoms of Excessive Body Hair:

  • Visible and Thick Hair: Excessive body hair often appears thicker and darker than desired, making it more noticeable.
  • Unwanted Hair Growth: Hair may grow in areas where you prefer it not to, such as the face, back, chest, or abdomen.
  • Impact on Self-esteem: Unwanted body hair can affect self-esteem and confidence, causing emotional distress

Treatments for Excessive/Unwanted Body Hair

At Orchid Clinic, we offer a range of treatments to address excessive body hair, tailored to your unique needs:

  • Laser Hair Removal: Our advanced laser technology can selectively target and remove unwanted body hair, providing long-lasting results. It works by damaging hair follicles, reducing hair growth over time.

  • Support and Care: Throughout your journey, our clinic priorities your comfort and satisfaction. We are here to address your questions, concerns, and provide guidance at every step.

Laser hair removal technology has advanced significantly, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types and hair. Practitioner assesses your skin and hair to determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.

The number of sessions required varies depending on individual factors like hair thickness and colour, as well as the treatment area. Generally, a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart is needed for optimal results.

Laser hair removal provides long-lasting results, and many individuals experience a significant reduction in hair growth. However, some maintenance sessions may be needed over time to ensure lasting smoothness.

While laser hair removal is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience temporary redness or mild discomfort during and after treatment. These side effects typically subside quickly.
