What Is Hypertrichosis?
10. Treatment
While hypertrichosis cannot be cured, it can at least be treated so that the symptoms have less of an impact on the patients life. One of the most obvious ways is shaving, but this can result in the hairs growing back thicker.
Other methods include waxing, plucking, chemical epilation, and bleaching to make the hair lighter and less visible. Some of these methods might lead to irritation of the patients skin. For a more permanent treatment, laser surgery and/or electrolysis is an option. The hair will probably not return after treatment, but it might take several sessions for the treatment to be completed.
