DO YOU NEED HELP WITH HIRSUTISM IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?

Hirsutism (pronounced “HUR-soot-iz-um”) is a condition in cisgender women and some intersex people.  It is the result of excessive growth of dark or coarse hair on a cisgender male.  For clinical standards, the male-like pattern is based on society’s cultural standards.  Hirsutism can exist anywhere on the body, but it is predominately on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, and back.  It may also occur on the arms and buttocks, where hair tends to be thick and course.

How is Hirsutism treated?

For some, hirsutism is treated as a medical condition, which can be addressed with standard hair-removal procedures. The removal of the hair can psychologically improve one’s well being while reducing dermatological damage and infection.
