Women’s Excessive Facial Hair Growth – there’s no need to suffer!

Excessive facial or body hair in women is a condition called hirsutism. Hirsutism either runs in the family, usually presenting at menopause and puberty, or it can be an indicator of a larger underlying problem. Research indicates that up to 10-12% of the Australian female population is affected by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome which can be linked to excessive hair growth and hirsutism.

Hereditary hirsutism is largely an aesthetic rather than a health concern. When not hereditary it is most likely the result of excessive male hormone production (adrenal virilism), or an increased sensitivity of the hair follicle to normal male hormone levels. It is important to both a woman’s health and her self-con dence to have this condition diagnosed by a doctor. Hirsutism and any hormone imbalance that may underlie this condition can be treated. Excessive facial and/or body hair can be managed. Electrolysis is one means of managing excess hair but this can be painful, slow and very costly requiring many visits as only one follicle at a time is usually treated by sending an electrical pulse down the hair shaft.

Laser hair removal (as distinct from the much less effective IPL) is a much more manageable maintenance procedure as it treats a larger number of follicles at a time, is more comfortable than electrolysis and provides fast effective treatments. Hormonal hair growth via Laser Hair Removal therapy is efficient and manageable but not always a permanent solution as it is likely that hormonal hair regrowth may occur although usually at a much slower rate and usually much thinner than before, so hirsutism sufferers should be wary of claims by any service provider that they will achieve a permanent solution.

A woman might consider bleaching her facial hair, which makes it less visible alternatively regularly waxing can also assist. All of these methods should be used as means to treating the symptom, but any woman with progressing hirsutism should consult a doctor for a diagnosis in order not to compromise her health, or her self-confidence.

Nad’s Laser Hair Removal Clinic treats a number of hirsutism sufferer’s however warns that when it comes to facial hair, clients need to carefully select their treatment provider as Nad’s Clinics see a large number of clients that have been treated by inexperienced IPL and Laser Clinics. Inappropriate treatment can result in additional hair growth to facial or hormonal areas. Nad’s Laser Hair Removal Clinic warns that ONLY the affected areas should be treated by highly skilled therapists that have a sound understanding and many years experience in dealing with skin as inappropriate treatments may result in adverse side effects.. Additionally, certain medications are photosensitive and can result in an adverse affect if a pre treatment Consultation is not accurately conducted by skilled Therapists.

When it comes to Removing unwanted hair

, one thing becomes very clear: laser hair removal is a method that surpasses all others by a long shot.

There must be a reason why more than 2 million procedures are performed in the United States every year. There must be a reason why laser hair removal is number two on the list of the most performed cosmetic procedures. When we learned to harness the force of this beam, a whole new world opened before us. From military implementations to the medical and cosmetic worlds, lasers are used in surgeries, in vision correction, in dentistry, in skin resurfacing and in hair removal. The instruments themselves come in different shapes and strength, and since it is so widely used, it makes laser hair removal a very logical solution.

For years the electrolysis was considered the only  Permanent hair removalmethod. The procedure was long, and several visits were required to treat a small area. They were not painful necessarily, but very uncomfortable. They had to shock each hair follicle to prevent it from growing again, and we have many of those who grow in different cycles. In a small study done at a laser center in Ankara, Turkey, the effectiveness of laser hair removal was about 60 times greater than that of electrolysis.

Laser hair removal is based on the same idea; shock the follicles and prevent them from growing again. But unlike electrolysis, it can treat more than one hair at a time by targeting a whole area. A cooling gel is applied first, then a few seconds at a time, a beam will be released causing no more than a slight sensation. After a few of those, the gel is wiped away and with it all the unwanted hair. Some additional visits are required to treat the new hair follicles that start to grow, usually between 4-6.

Of course you would want it to be done in a respectable place, where a professional – such as an M.D – supervises the use of the laser and insures that mistakes are not done.

But would you be willing to pay doctors fees for hair removal?

That is why Los Angeles Medi Spa is just a place you would want. In a peaceful and serene atmosphere, partnered by a well known plastic surgeon, a registered nurse and a team of dynamic estheticians, you can get botox to relax your worry lines, Juvederm and Restylane to fill up what nature has taken away, facials and a complete body treatment from head to toe. And of course you can have your unwanted hair removed by laser.
