Facial hair removal — it’s straightforward

It’s completely normal to have hair on your face as well as your body. All women do. But some women find they feel embarrassed if their facial hair gets thicker and darker. If that’s happening to you, we can prescribe facial hair removal cream. There’s no need for a face-to-face discussion, we just need to check it’s suitable for you.

What causes excess facial hair?

Excess hair growth (hirsutism) can be caused by a change in hormone levels. A common cause of this is polycystic ovaries. Certain medicines can also lead to unwanted hair growth, as can being overweight.

It can be a sign of an underlying condition. We recommend you see your GP if you’ve noticed a sudden or recent increase of your facial hair, especially if your body hair has changed as well.
