What Causes Hair Growth?

A fine growth of downy (vellus) hair is perfectly normal. This only becomes the problem of superfluous hair when it coarsens through one of several reasons; either because it has been removed by some mechanical means such as tweezing, waxing, shaving or cream depilation, or because some slight hormonal imbalance exists (as during puberty or menopause), or as a result of certain types of hormone therapy. Some women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome may have superfluous hair. In any case, electrolysis can solve the problem.
