Hello,

You are having too much facial hair. You have done 15-20 laser treatments. Excessive facial hair may be due to underlying health condition like adrenal disorders or PCOS. You are suggested to get the underlying health conditions treated by a GP. Your treating doctor will tell you to do blood tests to measure your hormone levels. You will be given treatment if needed.

Also get blood work done to make sure you don’t have diabetes. Imaging tests like ultrasounds or MRI scans will help to study in detail about your ovaries and adrenal glands to check for the presence of tumors or cysts. Eflornithine cream helps to reduce the growth of facial hair. It slows hair growth.

This cream will cause facial hair growth to slow after 1 to 2 months. Skin rash and irritation are side effects of eflornithine. Your treating doctor may suggest other ways to remove facial hairs like electrolysis, waxing, shaving, and depilatories. If overweight, lose weight. Do regular exercises and eat healthy food, avoid fried food. Stay away from addictions if any.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
