It has been estimated that 8 out of 10 women will have unwanted hair at some point in their lives. When you consider the many contributing causes, it is no wonder. Below are just a few of these.

• Fluctuations in hormones present a potential for excessive hair growth. Some examples include:
  • Puberty
  • Pregnancy
  • Menopause
  • Stress
• Heredity plays a major role in hair patterns
• Many medications produce hair growth as a side effect
• Glandular disorders cause only a small percentage of unwanted hair growth. Your electrologist is trained to refer you to a physician in those cases.
