Question

What should do to stop the facial hair on my chin? I tried laser but didnt work out.there has been increased growth of hair after laser treatment. Please help me.its very embarrassing.

Kent Holtorf, MD · Answer

If you did a full treatment plan of 7 treatments and maintenance and still had hair return then there may be an underlying hormonal issue causing the excessive hair growth.  I would suggest seeing a doctor and discussing options for the hormonal issue and then trying the hair removal again.

Hey there,Excessive facial hair in women is usually due to hormonal imbalance (excessive male hormones- androgen). Correction of the underlying cause along with proper laser treatment of 6 -8 sessions spaced at 4-6 weeks interval and maintenance sessions thereafter would definitely help in permanently reducing 80% of hair growth. A proper diet and exercise will accentuate the results.Hope this helps.
