HIRSUTISM (UNWANTED HAIR)
Effective Solutions for Excess Hair Growth
At Signature Skin, Dr. Shantanu Choudhary and Dr. Swati Mogra help patients manage hirsutism with effective, long-term hair reduction options. Because excess hair growth can sometimes signal an underlying hormonal cause, evaluation looks at the full picture.
Understanding Hirsutism
Hirsutism refers to excess hair growth in a male-pattern distribution, often on the face, chest, or back, and can be related to hormonal factors such as polycystic ovary syndrome. Evaluation helps determine whether an underlying cause needs attention alongside hair reduction treatment.
