Understanding excess hair growth

Excess or unwanted hair growth affects both men and women. Whether it's coarse body hair, facial hair, dark shadow from shaving, or chronic ingrown hairs, medical-grade laser hair removal offers permanent reduction with lasting smoothness.

Educational guide

What you should know about excess hair growth

Unwanted hair is one of the most common concerns we treat — both for cosmetic comfort and to address shaving-related issues like ingrown hairs, folliculitis, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Modern medical lasers permanently reduce hair by targeting the melanin in the follicle during the active growth (anagen) phase. Because only a portion of follicles are in anagen at any time, multiple sessions across months are required to capture each follicle in its receptive window. Skin tone, hair colour, and hormonal status all influence the response.

What causes this condition

Common causes & contributing factors

Excess hair growth and bothersome shaving cycles can stem from:

  • Genetic and ethnic background (denser, coarser hair)
  • Hormonal conditions: PCOS, hirsutism, hyperandrogenism
  • Medications (certain steroids, hormonal therapies)
  • Thyroid imbalance
  • Frequent shaving or waxing causing ingrown hairs and shadow
  • Post-pregnancy or perimenopausal hair distribution shifts

How we treat excess hair growth at Silk Clinics

Personalised care

How treatment is personalised

Each treatment plan accounts for your skin tone (Fitzpatrick I–VI), hair colour and density, hormonal status, body area, and previous hair-removal history. Darker skin tones are treated with the Nd:YAG wavelength to avoid burns and pigmentation. Hormonally driven hair on the face and lower abdomen may need maintenance even after a full course, often with a referral for endocrine review.

Medical standards & safety

Doctor-led, evidence-aware care

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure performed under doctor supervision at Silk Clinics. Settings are individualised, test patches are used in higher-risk skin types, and patients are screened for medications or conditions that affect light-based treatment. We do not treat over fresh tan, recent waxing, or unidentified pigmented lesions.

Combination therapy

Treatments commonly combined

Laser hair removal pairs well with HydraFacial for body areas prone to ingrown hairs and with chemical peels for post-shaving pigmentation. For hormonally driven hirsutism, we coordinate with endocrinology to address the underlying driver.

Frequently asked questions

Is laser hair removal truly permanent?
Most patients achieve permanent reduction of 80–95% after a full course, with occasional maintenance sessions (1–2 per year). Hormonal areas may need more ongoing care.
Can I do laser hair removal in Dubai's summer?
Yes — but you must avoid direct sun on the treated area and use SPF50 daily. Tanned skin increases risk of burns and pigmentation.
Does laser hair removal work on grey or blonde hair?
No. Light-based devices target melanin. Grey, white, blonde, and very light red hairs lack the pigment needed to absorb laser energy.
How soon between sessions?
Typically 4 weeks for face, 6 weeks for body, 8 weeks for legs and back — timed to catch hairs in the anagen phase.
