About Unwanted Hair Growth
Hair density and distribution vary naturally from person to person. Genetics, hormonal factors such as PCOS, certain medicines and ethnic background can all play a role. SKIN does not diagnose an underlying cause. If hair growth changes suddenly or occurs with other symptoms, speak to your GP. For suitable skin and hair types, unwanted hair can be treated cosmetically with laser hair removal.
Common influences
What can influence hair growth?
There is not always one clear cause. Medical assessment belongs with your GP, not with a cosmetic laser treatment.
- Genetic or hereditary predisposition
- Hormonal factors, including PCOS
- Certain medicines
- Ethnic background and natural differences in hair density
Suitability
When is laser hair removal suitable?
Fitzpatrick skin types I–III
SKIN's Luminary protocol is intended for fair to light-brown skin types.
Brown to black hair
The diode laser targets pigment in the hair. Very light, grey or red hair usually contains too little pigment.
Face and body
Suitability is assessed for each treatment zone during the free test flash.

Questions? We have answers.
What causes unwanted hair growth?
Hair growth is influenced by genetics, hormones, certain medicines and ethnic background. PCOS can be a hormonal factor. SKIN does not provide a medical diagnosis; contact your GP if growth changes suddenly or is accompanied by other symptoms.
