Start with the pattern of hair growth
NHS guidance calls excessive coarse, dark hair on the face, neck, chest, tummy, lower back, buttocks or thighs hirsutism. Fine lighter facial hair is common and does not necessarily need medical treatment. The assessment starts with what has changed for you, where the hair grows and how quickly it has appeared.

Before your consultation
- Note when the hair-growth pattern changed, where it occurs and whether you have noticed acne, period changes, scalp hair loss or other symptoms.
Tell the clinician if anything changes before treatment starts. Do not use another person’s prescription medicine.
Is this a hair-growth service?
No. This service concerns unwanted facial hair in women. For scalp hair loss, use the relevant hair-loss service or ask the clinic which route fits your symptoms.
Could unwanted facial hair have a medical cause?
Yes. Hormone changes can contribute, especially where there are irregular periods, acne or other changes. A clinician may recommend GP assessment.
Will treatment remove hair permanently?
No result should be promised. Hair-removal approaches work differently and a clinician will discuss what is appropriate for your situation.
