Understanding Unwanted Hair

Unwanted facial and body hair is a common concern for both men and women. It can result from genetics, hormonal conditions, or simply personal preference. While temporary methods like waxing, threading, and shaving provide short-term results, laser hair removal offers a long-term solution. At Dermacian Jaipur, we use FDA-approved diode laser technology for safe, effective, and lasting hair reduction.

Signs & Symptoms

Excessive facial hair — upper lip, chin, sideburns, jawline
Unwanted body hair — arms, legs, underarms, bikini area, chest, back
Thick, coarse hair that grows back quickly after shaving or waxing
Ingrown hairs and razor bumps from shaving
Hirsutism — excessive male-pattern hair growth in women (may indicate hormonal issues)
Skin irritation, redness, or darkening from repeated hair removal methods

Causes & Risk Factors

1

Genetics — hair thickness, distribution, and growth patterns are largely inherited

2

Hormonal changes — puberty, pregnancy, menopause

3

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) — common cause of excessive facial hair in women

4

Certain medications — steroids, minoxidil, some hormone treatments

5

Adrenal gland disorders — Cushing syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia

6

Thyroid disorders — can affect hair growth patterns

7

Ethnicity — some ethnic groups naturally have denser, thicker hair

  • You have excessive facial hair as a woman (may need hormonal evaluation)

Questions & Answers

FAQs About Unwanted Hair in Jaipur

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction, not complete permanent removal. Most patients achieve 70–90% reduction. Occasional maintenance sessions (1–2 per year) keep results optimal.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need 6–10 sessions for optimal results. Facial hair may need more sessions due to hormonal influences. Sessions are spaced 4–8 weeks apart depending on the area.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most patients describe it as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Our laser has a cooling tip that minimizes discomfort. Sensitive areas like the bikini line may feel more intense but is tolerable.
Can I shave between laser sessions?
Yes, shaving is the only hair removal method allowed between sessions. Avoid waxing, threading, plucking, or bleaching as these remove the hair follicle that the laser targets.
