How to combat excessive hair growth?

What exactly is that overbearing?

Excessive hair or unwanted hair growth has two forms: hypertrichosis and hirsutism. Usually they occur separately, but they can also occur in combination:

  • Hypertrichosis is strong hair growth in areas that are normally only lightly hairy. It occurs in both men and women.
  • Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women following the male hair pattern. As a woman, you will then suffer from solid hair growth in places that normally only have downy hairs.

How do you get it?

Often, excess hair is familial. The first symptoms usually appear during puberty. In addition to heredity, male hormones also play a role. Often women suffering from hirsutism have elevated testosterone levels. A disease may also be at the root, such as adrenal gland disease.

Laser hair removal as a remedy for excessive hairiness

At Carpe, we have the Lutronic Clarity II laser, a combination of Alexandrite and Nd:Y. This is the most effective laser in the field of permanent hair removal and is therefore perfect to use against excessive hair. The laser causes the hair follicles, including the germ cells in the hair follicle to die, preventing them from growing back.

Of course, it is also possible to shave, wax or epilate regularly, but permanent solutions are not. As a result, the excess hair keeps reappearing. With laser treatment, you choose permanent results and don’t have to worry about ingrown hairs or irritation.

By the way, excess hair does not have to be a condition at all. As it is, some people have a little more hair growth than others. Then know that a laser treatment simply provides much more comfort, still the main reason why a lot of people have permanent hair removal done. Your hair will be expertly removed in a medically sound manner, while you won’t have to lie awake for a second, save a lot of time and enjoy a smooth result.
