Every woman wants to look and feel her best, especially when the season calls for more revealing fashion attire such as short skirts and swim suits. As a result, when faced with an abnormal amount of hair growth on some parts the body it can lead to very serious self-confidence issues. It can help to be informed as to why this abnormal hair growth happens, and fortunately, Denver Laser Hair Removal can provide a long-lasting solution to the problem. But first let’s examine the whys of abnormal hair growth.

One of the first things to understand is that hair growth on the body is to a certain extent predicted by heredity. If you just seem to naturally have a lot of hair on your arms and legs, it is referred to as hypertrichosis, and is a result of your ethnic background, and not a result of too many male hormones, as many individuals believe.

Hirtusism, on the other hand is an abnormal hair growth disorder that can be caused by several factors. In some cases it is a result of a hormonal imbalances or malfunctions involving the adrenal glands or the ovaries. Blood tests are usually taken to determine where the problem lies in order to subsequently determine the best course of treatment. This condition can be successfully treated and concerned women should seek the advice of their physician to begin proper treatment.

Another significant problem that many women face is an increase of facial hair growth before, after and during menopause. Most often, this excess growth is a result of the body producing lower levels of estrogens. This hair growth is often one of the most treated by laser hair removal procedures.

Pregnancy can often result in excess hair growth due to hormonal upsets. This type of undesirable hair growth is not permanent and will disappear once hormones return to normal levels, usually within about six months. Although the condition is temporary, many women still consider hair removal during pregnancy. Shaving and plucking are acceptable for facial hair that may be troublesome, but it is not recommended that chemical based products required for removing hair be used during pregnancy as they can be absorbed into the skin. It is generally believed that laser hair removal is safe during pregnancy, but many women prefer to wait it out and see how much of the unwanted hair remains once their hormones return to normal.

Certain medications can also cause increased hair growth, but like pregnancy, it is often a temporary situation that corrects itself once the medication is no longer taken. Some examples may include prescription drugs such as Retinol A, prednisone and danazol.
As you can see, excess hair growth is quite a common occurrence, and while it can sometimes be a result of some more serious medical conditions, it can also be a normal part of hormonal ups and downs. Laser hair removal can be a permanent option for unwanted hair growth that upsets your lifestyle and feelings of self-confidence.
