Unwanted Hair


Many of our clients who come into the clinic often have lots of questions regarding hair growth but are sometimes just too embarrassed to talk about it.

I would just like to reassure you that many people experience hair growth in unwanted areas (usually around the chin, jawline, lip and nipples) at some stage in their life – don’t panic – this is absolutely normal – and something most people don’t like talking about, let alone confessing. It happens to all of us- just nobody talks about it.

I therefore want to address the elephant in the room and hopefully answer any questions you have but are maybe too embarrassed to ask.

Why does this happen?


Usually this is hormone related, so for ladies, you may experience tough thick hair growth in usually the chin and upper lip areas.

This is usually when oestrogen levels decline so the adrenal androgens (male hormone) become more dominant. (Yes, females also have testosterone in their bodies too).

When this happens it brings with it the associated male hair growth pattern around the beard area, which many of us don’t welcome!

So what can we do?
