Excessive Hair
At SkinSense Private GP Chelmsford, we specialise in treating excessive hair to provide smooth, hair-free skin with long-lasting results. Our advanced treatments target unwanted hair at the root, reducing the need for constant shaving, waxing, or plucking, while addressing individual concerns related to hair growth patterns, genetics, or underlying medical conditions.
What is Unwanted Hair?
There is considerable variation regarding hair growth (distribution, density, colour and hair type) and this may be due to genetic factors, race, medical conditions (such as polycystic ovaries) and medication. Hirsutism is the medical term applied when hair growth is above and beyond what is considered normal and may be related to an underlying medical condition. In the majority of cases unwanted hair is normal hair growth but becoming a burden with the relentless task of shaving, waxing, plucking and trimming. Fortunately there are now treatments available which not only remove hair, they also destroy the underlying hair follicles leading to permanent hair reduction and to remove the need for ongoing waxing and shaving.
