Unwanted Facial Hair

Unwanted facial hair, medically known as hirsutism, can be a distressing concern, affecting individuals of various genders. 

At Orchid Clinic, we are dedicated to help you understand this condition and treat it effectively.

Unwanted Facial Hair

Causes of Unwanted Facial Hair:

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Imbalances in hormones, particularly an excess of androgens (male hormones), can lead to the development of unwanted facial hair. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hormonal disorders are common contributors.
  • Genetics: Family history plays a significant role, as some individuals are genetically predisposed to increased facial hair growth.
  • Medications: Certain medications, including steroids and hormonal treatments, can lead to the growth of facial hair as a side effect.
  • Medical Conditions: Conditions like Cushing’s syndrome and adrenal hyperplasia can also lead to hirsutism.

Common Symptoms of Unwanted Facial Hair:

  • Excessive Hair Growth: Hair on the face, particularly in areas such as the upper lip, chin, and cheeks, may become thicker, darker, and more noticeable.
  • Emotional Distress: Unwanted facial hair can impact self-esteem and emotional well-being, leading to feelings of self-consciousness and social discomfort.

Treatments for the Facial Hair:

Orchid Clinic offers a range of tailored treatments to address unwanted facial hair:

  • Laser Hair Removal: Our advanced laser technology selectively targets and reduces unwanted facial hair, providing long-lasting results by inhibiting hair follicle growth.
  • Hormonal Management: For cases related to hormonal imbalances, our clinic offers consultations and treatments to restore hormonal harmony and control excessive hair growth.
  • Customised Treatment Plans: We offer personalised treatment plans based on your unique needs, ensuring optimal results.
  • Supportive Care: Throughout your treatment journey, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction. We provide guidance, answer questions, and offer support at every stage.

While not all treatments offer permanent results, advanced laser hair removal which is also available at Orchid Clinic can provide long-lasting reduction of unwanted facial hair. Maintenance sessions may be needed.

Laser hair removal targets and damages hair follicles, inhibiting future growth. It's safe and effective for reducing unwanted facial hair, leading to smoother skin.

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

The number of sessions varies depending on individual factors like hair thickness and color. Typically, a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart is needed for optimal results

We offer initial consultations to discuss your concerns and explore treatment options. Please check with our clinic for specific details regarding consultation fees or policies.
