Hi!,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
Well,i suppose that you are a male ,coz even females have thick hair growth over face and body.Usually in males thick hair growth over legs is due to genetic factor.No need to go for any hormonal therapy for this.There are two methods to get rid of it..one permanent and other temporary.Temporary methods are like waxing or using a razor...while permanent methods is by lasers.Lasers selectively target black cells in the hair roots there by destroying it gradually.One required multiple sessions for that may be 8-9 sessions at an interval of 1 to one and a half months .Its safe and effective .Kindly let me know where you belong to ,so that i can guide you a good laser clinic .
take care,
Dr.chawda
