Unwanted Hair

At Light Touch Clinic we provide specialist treatment for unwanted hair, our experts offer bespoke hair removal sessions.

About Unwanted Hair

Hair grows across the human body, serving as a protective layer for the skin. While much of this hair is fine and barely noticeable, some areas exhibit darker and thicker growth. However, unwanted hair growth can be a concern for many individuals.

Both men and women opt for hair removal treatments, a decision that can be influenced by personal preferences, societal trends, or a desire for cleanliness and grooming. Common methods for hair removal include shaving, waxing, and the use of hair removal creams, particularly for areas like the legs, underarms, and bikini line. Although effective, these regimes have very short-term effects and require a regular routine, often proving to be a time-consuming task that can be considered inconvenient alongside a busy schedule.

At Light Touch Clinic, we offer bespoke hair removal treatments with the Alma Soprano Ice laser, recognised globally for its excellent hair removal capabilities. Our hair removal is suitable for both men & women and for all skin types. Book a consultation with our laser hair removal experts to discuss the best treatment options for you.

Unwanted Hair – Frequently Asked Questions

Unwanted hair growth is typically caused by hormonal imbalances, particularly an increase in androgens, which can stimulate hair follicles to produce more hair in areas where it’s not wanted.

Conditions like PCOS, adrenal gland disorders, and certain medications can lead to these hormonal shifts.

Genetics also play a role, as some people are predisposed to more body hair due to their family history.

Natural life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can trigger unwanted hair growth due to fluctuating hormone levels.

One popular method is using a turmeric and milk paste, which has been used in traditional skincare to slow down hair growth and exfoliate the skin.

Another option is a sugar and lemon juice mixture, which acts as a natural exfoliant and lightens the appearance of hair.

Regularly applying papaya paste can also help weaken hair follicles over time.

Spearmint tea has also been shown to help balance hormone levels, potentially reducing the effects of excessive hair growth.

PCOS hair refers to the excessive and unwanted hair growth that happens as a result of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder common in women.

PCOS often leads to higher levels of androgens, or male hormones, which can cause hair growth in areas where men typically grow hair, such as the face, chest, back, and abdomen.

This condition, called hirsutism, is a common symptom of PCOS and can be a source of distress for many women. Managing PCOS-related hair growth often requires hormonal treatments alongside hair removal methods.

Shaving is a quick and easy method that removes hair at the surface of the skin. It’s convenient, can be done at home, and is pain-free, but the results are short-lived, with hair growing back within a few days. Shaving may also lead to issues like skin irritation, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs.

Waxing, on the other hand, removes hair from the root, providing longer-lasting results—usually around three to six weeks.

Although waxing can be more painful and may require a visit to a professional, it leaves the skin smoother for a longer period and can even reduce hair growth over time. However, waxing can cause temporary redness or irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Laser hair removal uses focused light to target hair follicles, gradually lowering hair growth over multiple sessions, whereas shaving and waxing require more regular maintenance. This makes it a more convenient and cost-effective solution in the long run.

Laser hair removal also helps avoid common issues associated with other methods, such as skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and razor bumps. It’s also less painful than waxing, and over time, it provides smoother skin with very little maintenance.

While shaving, waxing and natural remedies may help to remove unwanted hair, the most method is laser hair removal.

At Light Touch Clinic, we offer this. We use Alexandrite and diode laser technologies, and they are effective for all areas of the body on all skin tones and hair colours, while also softening and smoothing your skin.
