Smooth skin is great, but it isn’t the only reason people choose laser hair removal treatment. Some elect it to bring a degree of normalcy back into their lives. Hirsutism is a condition that results in excess hair growth for women in unexpected areas of the body. To address that growth, laser hair removal is a common choice.

Understanding Hirsutism: Causes and Treatment Options

Hirsutism is a condition that results in excess hair growth for women in unexpected areas of the body like the face, chest, and back, among others. That extra hair growth arises from excess male hormones, primarily testosterone, and more than 3 million cases are diagnosed annually in the United States alone.

Hirsutism can occur for a variety of reasons, including hormonal imbalances related to PCOS, thyroid disorders, and androgen-secreting tumors. Additionally, medication, weight loss or gain, and aging may contribute to this condition.

Laser Hair Removal: A Potential Solution

When a condition causes excessive hair growth, there’s a good chance laser hair removal is a practical option. And that’s the case with hirsutism and laser hair removal. Instead of simply removing hair at the skin surface, laser hair removal gets to the root of the issue, the follicle.

The laser targets the follicle’s melanin and destroys it. With regular treatments, hair can no longer grow in the area and becomes less coarse along the way. 

This not only improves the physical appearance of hirsutism but also boosts overall confidence.

“Many clients never thought they would be able to go a day or two without shaving, let alone several weeks,” said Milan Laser Clinical Support Nurse Ashley D. “To see that, and to be able to be on that journey with them is amazing. 

“You see the difference after they come in, too. Maybe they’re wearing more makeup or are wearing their hair differently to make it more noticeable. From the very first treatment to graduation, to see that confidence grow is amazing.”

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Hirsutism

In addition to drastically reducing the amount of hair, laser hair removal has a number of other tangible benefits that those with hirsutism can enjoy.

Long-Lasting Results

When a new client’s laser hair removal journey begins, treatments take place roughly every five weeks. And when their hair-free journey concludes, they’ll be left with hair-free skin without the need for razors or wax.

You’ll experience minimum hair regrowth and a renewed sense of confidence, and if you ever need a touch-up, you’ll be covered with Milan’s Unlimited Package™. You pay one price for a body area, and you’re covered for life. This means you won’t have to pay another dime if you require a touch-up a month, a year, or five years once your treatment concludes.

Precise Targeting

This is all about client safety and satisfaction. Laser hair removal can target thick, coarse hairs without impacting the surrounding area, keeping your skin safe and smooth.

Cost-Effectiveness

You can actually save money over your lifetime by investing in laser hair removal. Did you know a person could spend $23,000 over a lifetime waxing only their legs? And most people need to fork over more than $20,000 over a lifetime for razors if shaving is their preference.

That’s a LOT of money. Laser hair removal can get you hair-free, and it won’t break the bank. In fact, Milan Laser offers reasonable monthly payment plans that can fit anyone’s monthly budget.

Considerations for Laser Hair Removal with Hirsutism

Milan Laser clients typically see about a 95% reduction in hair regrowth. Those are the results anyone choosing laser hair removal would want to see, but especially true for someone who is dealing with hirsutism. 

That kind of hair reduction can give the gift of peace of mind. Think about it. Laser hair removal allows clients to think about anything but hair maintenance because the regrowth dwindles. No need for regular shaving and waxing. More time to focus on yourself. 

Consultation and Treatment Plan

Before a new client enters a treatment room, they’ll be fully aware of what to expect with every appointment. That’s because they’ve gone through a thorough consultation.

The consultation is where hair-free goals are discussed. It’s also where you’ll get a better understanding of timelines. How long will each appointment take? How long until the body area is hair-free? Can I do this or that? Any questions or concerns will be addressed during this time.
