Unwanted Hairs
It is common to have hair in places where it is not desirable! However, before starting treatment for excess unwanted hair, several medical evaluations are recommended. Unwanted hair can be associated with certain tumors and hormonal imbalances. Particularly worrisome is the combination of increased body hair with thinning scalp hair. If a person has an underlying medical condition that is not addressed, laser hair removal treatment will not be effective. However, lasers usually are very effective in the treatment of unwanted hair once medical causes are ruled out. The best results are achieved in fair-skinned individuals with thick, dark hair. A series of treatments are needed to achieve a long-term reduction in hair density.
