Remove unwanted hair

Unwanted or superfluous hair can be bothersome and cause both physical and psychological effects on an individual. In some cases, hair is unwanted for simply cosmetic reasons, such as the female trend for smooth, hairless legs and armpits. In other cases, unwanted hair or excessive hair growth, known as hirsutism, can be caused by a medical condition or hormonal imbalances. This can cause women to grow unwanted hair on their face or have an excess of hair in other areas of their body. Those with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are especially prone to this and can often seek medical referral for help. Men can also suffer from problems with unwanted hair, including issues with beard growth or back hair, including in-growing hairs. A variety of temporary and permanent solutions are available to reduce unwanted hair growth in the face and body.
