Excès de pilosité
Qu'est-ce que l'excès de pilosité ?
L'excès de pilosité, ou hirsutisme chez la femme, désigne une croissance excessive des poils sur des zones habituellement peu poilues (visage, poitrine, dos, bras).
Il peut être causé par des facteurs hormonaux, génétiques ou médicaux, et se traite par épilation, laser ou traitements spécifiques.
Examples of excessive hair growth
Hirsutism in women
Excessive hair growth in typically male areas, such as the face (chin, upper lip), chest, back, abdomen, or buttocks. This condition is often linked to a hormonal imbalance, particularly an overproduction of androgens.
Hypertrichosis
A generalized increase in hair growth all over the body or in specific areas. Unlike hirsutism, this condition can affect both men and women and can be localized or generalized.
Hair growth linked to genetic factors
Some people may naturally have more body hair than others due to their genes, without there being an underlying medical cause.
Drug-induced hair growth
Certain medications, such as steroids or certain hormonal treatments, can cause an increase in body hair.

Waxing
Waxing doesn't permanently treat excess hair, but it can help temporarily manage hair growth. Waxing removes hairs from the root, which can provide smooth skin for several weeks. However, for more long-term treatment of excess hair, methods like laser hair removal or electrolysis are generally more effective.
