Excessive hair growth (also called hirsutism) can occur in both men and women, although the effects are most noticeable with women. People who experience hirsutism usually have excessive growth of dark, coarse body hair that may appear on the face, chest, abdomen, back, and other unwanted regions.

The cause of excessive hair growth varies with the individual. Common causes include genetics, endocrine disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, and medications such as hormones, steroids, and birth control pills. It can be normal depending on race and geographic origin, especially when it runs in families. Some rare causes include menopause, puberty, pregnancy, ovarian tumor, and drugs.

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a treatment designed to retard the future growth of hair in treated areas. It can be used on several parts of the body, and both women and men regularly use this form of treatment.

​

Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures in the U.S. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorb the light, which destroys the hair. Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

​
