Unwanted & Ingrown Hairs
Unwanted Hair, the normal amount of body hair for women varies. Most of the time, a woman only has fine hair, or peach fuzz, above the lips and on the chin, chest, abdomen, or back. If you have coarse, dark hairs in these areas, the condition is called hirsutism. Such hair growth is more typical of men.
Women normally produce low levels of male hormones (androgens). If your body makes too much of this hormone, you may have unwanted hair growth. To remove unwanted hair, some opt for waxing.
In most cases, the exact cause is never identified. It tends to run in families. In general, hirsutism is a harmless condition, but many women find it bothersome or even embarrassing.
A common cause of hirsutism is Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS and other hormone conditions that cause unwanted hair growth may also have acne, problems with menstrual periods, trouble losing weight, and diabetes. If these symptoms start suddenly, you may have a tumor that releases male hormones.
Other, rare causes of unwanted hair growth may include:
- Tumour or cancer of the adrenal gland.
- Tumour or cancer of the ovary.
- Cushing Syndrome
- Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
- Hyperthecosis (a condition in which the ovaries produce too many male hormones).
- Use of certain medicines, including testosterone, danazol, anabolic steroids, glucocorticoids, cyclosporine, minoxidil, and phenytoin.
Rarely a woman with hirsutism will have normal levels of male hormones, and the specific cause of the unwanted hair growth cannot be identified.
An Ingrown Hair occurs when a shaved or tweezed hair grows back into the skin. It can cause inflammation, pain and tiny bumps in the area where the hair was removed.
Ingrown hair is a common condition that results from hair removal. It’s most prevalent in black men who shave facial hair. But ingrown hair can affect anyone with tightly curled hair who shaves, tweezes or waxes to remove hair.
Often, an ingrown hair improves without treatment. You can avoid ingrown hair by not removing hair. If that’s not an option, you can use hair removal methods that lessen the risk of developing ingrown hairs.

I have been dealing with acne and insecurities around my skin since I was a young girl, and I've tried everything! ...... Till I met Kam and her blessed Medi Spa. This woman is more than an aesthetician, she cares deeply about who I am and gives it her all to provide the best results--WHICH ARE MIRACULOUS! Thank you Vancouver Medi Spa, for your humble, warm, and delivering clinic. Laser is amazing, and Kam provides a plethora of education from A to Z. My face is now clear after 2 sessions...Something I dreamed of having since a young girl. The place is so clean, and filled with positivity. I especially love the ambiance of music and mantras that play in her spa during the sessions. She truly goes above and beyond to make her clients happy. :) Top laser medi spa in Vancouver for sure!!!!! Won't anything like this anywhere else. God Bless!

This review is for genuine knoweldge and kindness of kam. I went there for consultation and to get skin treatment but kam instead suggested i need to focus on my diet and be healthy from inside. She did not try to grab money like other estheticians. She suggested i should come back again once i get on track with my diet. Manu Wr2024-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been getting laser treatments from Kam for the past few months. She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I’ve had laser treatments in the past that haven’t worked, so I was worried about investing in more. However, Kam did multiple test patches to see how my skin/ hair would react before charging me for any full treatments. I’m happy with my progress so far and can’t say enough good things about Kam! Isabel Gittins2023-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kam is super professional she knows what she is doing. Also she makes you feel so comfortable and welcomed. I’d recommend to anyone her clinic. Don’t hesitate to contact her. Monika Dienes2023-12-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just love how Kam takes care of me, she really did great on my skin. Now I'm smooth as butter no need to shave. She even advised me on how to take care of my skin properly. I will definitely come back and highly recommend Vancouver Medispa.
