Idiopathic Hirsutism

2021-07-27 08:09:09
Noted development of coarse facial hair when I was around 20 years. Initially resorted for local measures such as threading or waxing. I consulted a dermatologist once who ran multiple tests to rule out PCOD and othet issues and diagnosed my condition as idiopathic hirsutism. He advised me to take laser hair reduction treatment. I took 2 sittings of laser treatment in 2018 and discontinued the treatment due to pregnancy. During the pregnancy and post pregnancy more facial hair has grown and now it is affecting me mentally. I regularly use threading to remove the hairs, but the skin has darkened and has become rough. I have dark brown skin tone and it is said that laser treatment won't be effective for such skin tones. I am really sad about this increasing facial hair and permanently want to get rid of it. I have limited financial resource and cannot go for very costly treatments. Please suggest. Thank you

To permanently get rid of facial hair, kindly visit our clinic for laser hair reduction. Yes, dark brown skin tone is bit more prone to PIH, but it can be safely done under doctor's supervision
