More common than you think

Many women experience unwanted facial hair, and the problem often becomes more pronounced with age. It's important to know that you're not alone - this is a common problem that can be effectively treated.

Causes of unwanted facial hair

Hormonal Imbalances

One of the most common causes is hormonal imbalances, especially:

• PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) - A common hormonal disorder that can cause increased hair growth on the face, chest and stomach
• Elevated levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) - A male sex hormone that can affect hair growth even in women
• Menopause - Hormone changes can lead to increased facial hair

Genetic Factors

Genetics also play a role. If other women in your family have unwanted facial hair, you are more likely to experience this too.

Problems with Manual Methods

Many women try manual methods first, but these have several drawbacks:

Shaving

• Can cause irritation and red spots
• Hair grows back quickly
• Risk of ingrown hairs

Waxing

• Can be painful
• Risk of skin irritation and inflammation
• Requires regular recurring treatment

Bleaching

• Only temporarily hides the problem
• May cause skin irritation
• Does not give a permanent result
