Reasons for Excessive Unwanted Hair Growth

Excessive unwanted hair growth can cause many people to feel frustrated and self-conscious. While body hair is normal, certain conditions can cause it to grow thicker, darker, and faster. At Medical Village in Dubai, we understand your concerns about unwanted hair and provide innovative laser treatments for effective, long-term hair removal. But what causes excessive hair growth? Let's take a closer look...

#1. Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances are among the most common causes of excessive hair growth, particularly in women. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can induce elevated levels of androgens (male hormones), stimulating hair follicles and resulting in increased hair growth on the face, chest, and body. Even little changes in hormone levels during adolescence, pregnancy, or menopause might result in unexpected hair growth.

#2. Genetics

Medical Village is dedicated to providing the most advanced and cutting-edge hair restoration procedures available. As the only clinic outside of the United States to provide the Folix Laser, we provide exclusive access to this ground-breaking technology in Dubai. Dr. Hamid Taghaddos' expertise ensures that our patients receive personalized care customized to their unique needs, resulting in the best outcomes.

The Folix Laser therapy is painless and rapid, usually lasting about 20-30 minutes each session. There is no need for anesthesia, and patients can resume normal activities right away. The treatment is appropriate for both men and women with hair thinning or early-stage hair loss, making it a versatile solution for a wide spectrum of clientele.

#3. Medications

Certain medications might cause undesired hair growth as a side effect. Steroids, hormone replacement therapy, and certain birth control medications can raise androgen levels, resulting in thicker or more visible hair. If you observe sudden changes in your hair growth after starting a new medicine, speak with your doctor. That being said, the experts at Medical Village can assist in addressing unwanted hair growth induced by medications with focused laser treatments such as CLARITY II, which provide safe and effective outcomes.

#4. Medical Conditions

Beyond hormonal abnormalities, many medical conditions might result in excessive hair growth. For example, adrenal gland illnesses such as Cushing's syndrome can cause an excess of cortisol, a hormone that promotes hair growth. Additionally, certain cancers or growths affecting the ovaries or adrenal glands may raise androgen levels. If you feel an underlying medical condition is affecting your hair growth, you should seek medical attention and diagnosis.

#5. Hypertrichosis

Hypertrichosis is an uncommon disorder defined by excessive hair growth in locations where hair is normally thin or scant. Unlike hormonal reasons, hypertrichosis can affect both men and women and may be congenital (existing at birth) or acquired later in life. While the specific origin of hypertrichosis is unknown, it can be efficiently handled using sophisticated laser hair removal treatments such as the GENTLEMAX PRO, which targets hair follicles to safely and effectively decrease unwanted hair.
