Unwanted Body Hair
Shaving, waxing, and threading are a time-consuming cycle that never really ends. Laser hair removal offers a way out, significantly reducing hair growth over a series of sessions so that smooth skin becomes the baseline rather than something you have to constantly maintain. At MD Cosmetic, we offer laser hair removal and dermaplaning at our Port Moody and Abbotsford clinics for patients looking to reduce unwanted hair on the face and body.
What Causes Unwanted Hair Growth?
Unwanted hair is influenced by a combination of biological and hormonal factors that vary between individuals. The most common contributing causes include:
- Genetics: Hair growth patterns, density, and distribution are largely determined by genetics and vary significantly between individuals.
- Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in androgens, particularly during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, can increase hair growth in unwanted areas.
- Hormonal conditions: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome can cause excess hair growth on the face and body.
- Ethnicity: Certain ethnic backgrounds are associated with naturally higher hair density and darker, coarser hair that is more visible.
- Medications: Some medications can stimulate increased hair growth as a side effect.
