What is excessive hair growth?
Many people suffer from unwanted hair. In women, fine hair is typically present all over the body, including the face, however this can typically increase with the on-set of menopause. A medical term for excessive hair growth is Hirsutism which is when women develop hair on their face, neck, chest, tummy, lower back, buttocks or thighs. A common cause for excessive hair growth in women is PCOS hair growth – this is when excess hair is present due to androgren levels associated with this condition.

What Causes excessive hair growth?
The main causes of increased or excessive hair growth is the presence of hormones called androgens. Androgens are typically referred to as male hormones by medical professionals, but they are produced in both men and women. Where the body releases excessive amounts of androgens, especially in women, the likelihood of unwanted hair growth increases. There are several ailments that can cause an increased level of androgens.
Medicines - Medicines and steroids with certain hormone increasing factors can lead to excessive hair growth.
Hormonal conditions - Hormonal conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome, Acromegaly and PCOS can lead to excessive hair growth.

How to treat excessive hair growth including Pcos hair growth?
You can treat excessive hair growth, Pcos hair growth, as well as body and facial hair removal at home or for longer lasting results in a clinic setting with professional strength machines or prescribed medication.
Unwanted hair can easily be removed at home with methods like shaving, waxing, tweezing, threading, and the application of hair removal creams. However, unwanted hair grows back quickly with these methods and can cause irritation as well as ingrown hairs. It is also possible to achieve longer lasting results with treatments including electrolysis, prescription creams, chemical depilation and laser. At Dr Leah Clinic we use the best treatment available – Soprano Ice Laser for long lasting results which in a large number of clients results in permanent hair removal.
