Hypertrichosis & Laser Hair Removal

Hypertrichosis is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in areas where hair is not typically found. Depilação à laser can offer a long-term solution for managing and reducing excessive hair, improving both appearance and comfort.

What is Hypertrichosis?

Hypertrichosis is the abnormal growth of hair beyond typical areas. It can be congenital or acquired due to medications or certain health conditions. Unlike hirsutism, hypertrichosis is not necessarily related to hormonal imbalances.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Help with Hypertrichosis?

Laser hair removal targets and destroys hair follicles with focused light, reducing hair growth in affected areas. This provides a long-term reduction in hair density and can improve the skin’s overall appearance.
