Hirsutism is a condition in which women experience excessive growth of hair, on the face, torso and limbs. Hirsutism is mostly genetic in origin. It is the result of abnormally high levels of androgens or male hormones in the blood. It is a common sign of polycystic ovary syndrome in women. It can also be caused by a pituitary tumor or other serious medical conditions.
People suffering from hirsutism seek methods of hair removal to remove the unwanted hair.
Here are some physical methods of hair removal
Bleaching
Bleaching can make the excessive hair less noticeable.
Depilatory creams
Depilatory creams are good for short-term hair removal
Shaving
Shaving prevents unsightly stubble, and it does not make the hair grow thick.
Waxing
Waxing is a good method of hair removal as the warm wax hardens on the skin and when it is stripped off; the hair is pulled out with it from the roots.
Electric hair removers
They remove the hair by a combined cut and pull.
Electrolysis/Thermolysis
Electrolysis or thermolysis may result in permanent hair loss but it is time consuming. A small probe is inserted along each hair, and a small electrical or heat discharge destroys the hair.
