Hirsutism
(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.
What to Expect
Treatments may include prescription-strength anti-androgen ingredients, applied directly to the affected areas.
