Unwanted Hair

For both men and women, unwanted hair can be a thorny issue. Fortunately, there are a plethora of unisex treatments to help you get rid of unwanted hair – temporarily or permanently, with the latter being our specialisation.

About the Condition

When it comes to body hair, everyone has it – and shaving, waxing and plucking might seem like the obvious quick fixes. However, these methods can cause damage to the skin and what’s more, they have to be repeated frequently.

Additionally, certain conditions may contribute to excessive hair growth, especially in women. Hirsutism is when excessive, thick, dark hair grows in areas where men typically have hair, such as the chin, neck and chest.

Regardless of the cause of hair growth, permanent hair removal has been increasing in popularity amongst both genders, with IPL/SHR, Electrolysis and Laser being the most popular methods.

Hirsutism is caused by an excess of male hormones called androgens in the woman’s body, usually as a result of pregnancy or menopause. Unwanted hair growth is also typical when women get older and can run in families. In younger women, the most common trigger is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which causes irregular periods and fluid-filled sacs (cysts) on the ovaries.
