What Is Excessive Hair Growth?
Excessive hair growth is common in both men and women. It presents as unwanted hair on various areas of the face and / or body, and can differ in thickness and tone, depending on the affected area. Certain medical conditions can make this more likely, and it can lead to self-consciousness and affect confidence levels. While often not medically concerning, excessive / unwanted hair growth can affect self-esteem, prompting individuals to seek various hair removal methods for cosmetic reasons. Permanent hair reduction with the soprano ice titanium device helps to keep hair growth at bay, increasing confidence and saving time day to day.
What Causes Excessive Hair Growth?
Excessive hair growth can result from various factors. Hormonal imbalances, notably elevated levels of androgens like testosterone, play a significant role. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal gland disorders can disrupt hormone levels, leading to excessive hair growth typically around the chin and jawline areas on females. Genetics also influence hair growth patterns, with some individuals predisposed to more robust or denser hair growth on the face and body. Additionally, certain medications, such as corticosteroids or hormone treatments, can induce unwanted hair growth as a side effect.
Hirsutism is a more significant form of excessive hair growth. It refers specifically to immoderate and coarse hair growth in a pattern typically seen in males, such as on the face and chest in women, often due to hormonal imbalances.

Its unique cooling mechanism ensures comfort during treatment, making the treatment virtually pain free. It is also suitable for all skin types and shades, including tanned skin. However, this treatment is not suitable on skin that has any sort of sunburn at the time and fake tan must be avoided in the area for 2 weeks prior to treatment. The treatment typically requires 6-10 sessions with a space of 4-6 weeks in between sessions to achieve optimal results. By selectively targeting hair follicles while minimising damage to surrounding tissue, Soprano Ice Titanium offers a safe and efficient solution for reducing unwanted or excessive hair growth on all areas of the face and body painlessly. Where someone has a medical condition such as PCOS then more frequent maintenance sessions are required to keep hair growth at bay.
