Genetic predisposition, obesity and the hormonal changes that occur during the pre-menopause or menopause period can predispose women to develop excess facial hair. An increase in male hormones or androgens in women can cause hirsutism, a male pattern of excess hair growth involving the face, chest and back, often in association with acne, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility or deepening of the voice and balding. Laser hair removal is the gold standard for long lasting or permanent hair removal. Dr. Shah uses an advanced laser system that reduces the duration of this treatment. Laser hair Removal is typically done in a series of 4-6 sittings done at 4-6 week intervals. The final result is a permanent removal of terminal hair & conversion of the remaining terminal hair into vellus hair.
