Permanent hair removal
Symptoms of excessive hair growth in women can appear on the face, lower legs, forearms, chest, lower abdomen and pubic area. Men are mainly affected by excessive hair growth on the back and buttocks. Excessive hair growth can lead to inflammation, especially in areas that are exposed to a lot of friction and where you sweat, such as the buttocks, back, lower legs or genital area.
The causes of excessive hair growth are often genetic. Hormonal causes can also lead to increased hair growth. In particular, the male hormone testosterone is responsible for excessive hair growth. In women, a hormonal disorder may also be present. If a hormone disorder is suspected, a specialist in endocrinology (hormone doctor) should check hormone levels.
In our dermatological practice we offer hair removal with laser. This is an effective method to remove unwanted body hair for a long time. Although you will notice a significant difference in hair density after the first session, approximately 4 to 6 sessions at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks are necessary to completely remove the hair.
The application is suitable for different areas of the body: Face, legs, underarms, bikini line, back and chest. Depending on individual needs and hair type, several sessions are required to achieve optimal results. The exact treatment plan is determined in a detailed consultation at our practice.
