Many people experience unwanted or excessive hair growth. In women, fine hair is naturally present across the body, including the face, but this can increase with hormonal changes such as menopause. Excessive hair growth in women is medically known as hirsutism, which refers to thicker or more noticeable hair appearing on areas such as the face, neck, chest, abdomen, back, buttocks or thighs. One of the most common causes of excessive hair growth in women is PCOS, where higher androgen levels often stimulate increased hair growth.
The main factor behind increased or unwanted hair growth is the presence of androgens, a group of hormones found in both men and women. Elevated androgen levels, particularly in women, can lead to thicker and more noticeable hair.
Several factors can influence androgen levels:
Medication –Certain medications, including steroids or hormone-affecting treatments, may contribute to increased hair growth.
Hormonal conditions –Conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome, acromegaly and PCOS can cause the body to produce higher levels of androgens, leading to unwanted hair growth.
Excessive or unwanted hair can be managed at home or treated more effectively in a clinical setting.
At-home methods
Shaving, waxing, tweezing, threading and hair removal creams are commonly used options. While these methods are convenient, hair often grows back quickly and may cause irritation or ingrown hairs.
Longer-lasting solutions
More durable results may be achieved through professional treatments such as electrolysis, prescription creams, or advanced hair removal systems offered in clinics. These options can significantly reduce hair regrowth and provide smoother skin for longer periods.
At Skin Architect, we offer professional hair removal treatments designed for long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair. Our techniques are suitable for a wide range of skin and hair types and are carried out by experienced practitioners in a clinical environment.
Skin Architect provides effective hair removal treatments for clients across Bradford and West Yorkshire. We focus on delivering long-lasting results with minimal discomfort, offering a reliable option for both facial and body hair concerns. Our procedures are suitable for various skin types and can be tailored to your individual needs to help reduce unwanted hair safely and effectively.
Treatment prices vary depending on the area being addressed.
Before beginning treatment, we carry out a free consultation and take a full medical history to confirm suitability. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. Prior to your first session, we will request your informed consent and perform a small test patch at least 24 hours before treatment begins.
Most people are suitable. Best results are seen with people who have light skin and dark hair. Skin Architect clinic offer the Alexandrite Soprano Ice Laser which is effective in treating fairer hair types. Grey/white hair has no melanin so is not suitable for treatment.
Laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth and provide long-lasting results. While some hair may eventually return over time, it is usually finer and lighter than before. Many clients experience a substantial and lasting reduction in unwanted hair after completing a full course of treatment.
We do not use IPL for hair removal. Instead, we use an advanced laser system that offers more effective and reliable long-term hair reduction compared with standard IPL technology.
Laser hair removal is designed to be a comfortable and efficient procedure. The laser gradually warms the hair follicles while the handpiece moves repeatedly over the skin. Many clients describe the sensation as gentle heat or a warm, soothing feeling similar to a hot stone massage. Treatments are generally quick, and most people tolerate them very well.
The duration of a laser hair removal session depends on the area being treated, your skin type and the technology used. Smaller areas can be completed in just a few minutes, while larger areas will naturally take longer. Your practitioner will advise how much time to allow for your specific treatment.
