Excessive Body Hair
We all have hair on our skin all over our body, with different colors and densities. Excessive hair growth can be a problem for some people, causing embarrassment and annoyance, particularly for women on certain body parts like arms, legs, underarms, and upper lips.
Causes
1. Inborn Risk Factors
Hair growth is influenced by genetics and hormones, specifically androgen. The way someone’s body responds to androgen can vary, with some people experiencing excessive hair growth due to high sensitivity. Hirsutism is a genetic condition that causes excessive hair growth, and can be passed down from parents to their offspring.
2. Excess Male Hormones
Male hormones contribute to hair growth and skin texture. When a woman has a high level of male hormones and low level of female hormones, the body will respond to the male hormones and begin to grow hair rapidly at various parts like upper lips, developing moustache or hairy upper lips.
3. Endocrine Imbalance
Maintaining a healthy endocrine system is crucial for healthy hair growth. Poor eating habits and lifestyle can cause an imbalance in hormone release, leading to sudden hair growth changes.
4. Inappropriate Hair Removal Methods
When removing body hair, we often reach for products like razors or hair removal cream. However, these methods can cause irritation and lead to thicker, faster hair growth. Some people may also have an allergic reaction to shaving cream or wax. Pay attention to the ingredients in these products, as they can have hormonal effects that lead to abnormal hair growth.
5. Premature ovarian failure
Women with early menopause may experience hormonal changes that affect hair growth, resulting in rapid hair growth.
Treatment
Laser hair removal is currently the most effective, long-lasting way to remove our body hair.
M22 offered by Skinspire Laser&Skin Clinic, is a skin device that revitalizes skin. It removes unwanted hair and treats uneven pigmentation, liver spots, sun spots, age spots, keratosis, vascular lines, rosacea, and active acne.
How does M22 Laser work
M22™ IPL treatments apply highly controlled pulses of light. For hair removal, the beams are selectively absorbed by hair follicles, damaging the follicle to prevent regrowth without hurting surrounding tissue. For marks or lesions, M22™ IPL wavelength is optimized so that only the unwanted melanin absorbs the light. Deeper, damaged blood vessels are treated simultaneously.
