(Unwanted Facial or Body Hair)

What is hirsutism?

Hirsutism is when women grow dark, coarse hair in areas where men typically grow hair — like the face, chest, or stomach — often due to hormone imbalance.

How to Tell If You Have It

Thick, dark hair on upper lip, chin, chest, or back
Hair that keeps growing back quickly after shaving or waxing
Can appear alongside acne or irregular periods

Why It Happens

Usually related to increased androgens (male hormones) or conditions like PCOS. Genetics also play a role.

How We Help

Our licensed providers may prescribe a compounded topical formula that helps reduce new hair growth over time by addressing hormonal sensitivity at the skin level.
