Do hair multivitamins supplements increase body hair in women?

Question

Jeff Angobaldo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Hormones create hair follicles and for the face your hormones are the strongest on the body.  Your hair grows in three different phases and it is required for you to have a laser hair removal treatment done every 4 weeks to catch the hair in the growth phase.   You will notice your hair thin out and the growth cycle slow down after each treatment. After the hair is completely gone after 6-8 treatments it is recommended to have a maintenance session done every 6 months to a year.  Please consult with a physican before having any treatments done .

I know of no multivitamins that are marketed in the US that have been associated with increased body hair in women.  It would be helpful to know if there is a specific multivitamin that the author of the question is concerned about.
