Hirsutism and Unwanted Hair

Hirsutism is characterized by the growth of terminal hair in women on androgen-dependent areas of the body such as the upper lip, chin, or chest. Often the result of androgen excess, hirsutism may be accompanied by acne, androgenetic alopecia, and acanthosis nigricans. The most common hormonal cause of hirsutism is polycystic ovary disease, estimated to occur in 1% to 4% of the female population of reproductive age.

The presence of unwanted hair continues to plague many individuals for whom traditional methods of hair removal remain unsatisfactory. Laser and flashlamp technology now offers the potential for rapid, safe, and effective treatment of unwanted hair.
