Unwanted hair
At Telma Medical Skin Clinic, we understand that unwanted hair can be a common concern affecting both comfort and confidence. Our personalised laser hair removal treatments are designed to reduce unwanted hair growth and promote smoother looking skin, with treatment plans tailored to your skin type, hair colour and individual goals.
What is unwanted hair?
Unwanted hair refers to hair growth in areas where an individual would prefer reduced or no hair. Hair growth is influenced by genetics, hormones, age and individual differences in hair distribution.
What causes unwanted hormonal hair?
Unwanted hair growth is primarily determined by genetics and hormonal influences. Hormonal fluctuations, certain medications and conditions that affect hormone levels may contribute to increased hair growth, particularly on the face, chin and body.
Hair colour, thickness, skin tone and the growth cycle all influence the suitability and effectiveness of hair removal treatments.
Recommended treatments.
Suitability is confirmed in consultation, once your skin has been assessed.
The benefits of professional hair removal treatments
A personalised treatment plan may help to:
Reduce unwanted hair growth.
Achieve smoother-looking skin.
Reduce the need for frequent shaving or waxing.
Minimise shaving-related irritation and ingrown hairs.
Provide longer-lasting hair reduction compared with temporary hair removal methods.
Results vary between individuals, and laser hair removal generally provides long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent hair removal. Maintenance sessions may be required.
Assessment comes first.
Book a consultation- Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and no treatment is recommended before you have been seen.
- Suitability depends on your skin, your history and your medications, which is what the consultation is for.
- If a concern is changing, painful, bleeding or new, have it assessed by a doctor rather than treated cosmetically.
