Don’t Put up with Unwanted Hair in all the Wrong Places

Let me get this straight, IT IS NORMAL (and very common) for ladies to experience unwanted hair on their faces, neck, back, breasts, stomach and feet!  Ladies get waxed, plucked and shave in these areas every day.  The problem is when the hair is excessive and a lady is forced to cover up or shave every day.  Excessive hair growth (or ‘hirutism’) can be very difficult to talk about and can crush a ladies self esteem.  Most of us have no problem telling others that we shave or wax our legs, underarms or bikini’s, however when it comes to our face or other embarrassing areas we try our hardest to hide it.  That is fair enough, but trust me you are not alone, it is very common. There are effective treatments and solutions that may cure or at minimum manage the problem.

The most important thing to do when you suffer from excessive hair growth is to speak about it to your GP.  Excessive hair growth can be caused due to a side effect of some medications,  a medical condition such as PCOS or simply be genetic (because your mothers mother had it)!   It is important to know that if you suffer from excessive hair growth that is caused by an underlying medical condition there are ways to combat the problem, however it is most likely that you will need a combination of both medical and longer term cosmetic treatments.  ‘Permanent’ hair removal methods, i.e. laser and electrolysis, can only treat the ‘symptom’ not the cause of hirutism, therefore it is essential that you are tested and diagnosed.

The reason I have posted this is that I hate hearing about ladies that have suffered for years with excessive hair growth without seeking any professional advice!  They continually look in the mirror, cover up, have a low self esteem and were probably teased when they were at school.  They have believed the countless lies that are all over the Internet so haven’t bothered getting professional advice.  At CleanSkins we will give you honest advise as to the most appropriate hair removal method for YOU, regardless of whether we offer that treatment or not.  I hate hearing that a lady is too embarrassed to get a boyfriend because they have hair on their tummy or back, even worse is when a lady is forced to shave their face once or even twice a day!

Laser hair removal is not for every one, at CleanSkins it is our job to assess your, hair, skin and any relevant medical conditions or contra indications.   If we identify a factor that may hinder your results we will discuss a course of action we can take to ensure you will get results before you pay us a cent!  We even offer more affordable prices when we identify someone that has a diagnosed underlying medical condition that may effect permanent results.

We may be able to help or may be able to point you in the direction of someone that can.  So if you suffer from excessive unwanted hair or know someone that does, please either come and see us or give us a call.
