Unwanted hair refers to hair growth in areas where it isn’t desirable. This common problem can affect men and women alike and can be quite annoying. While most unwanted hair can be removed at home with shaving, tweezing, waxing and epilation, those seeking a long-term solution have many other options.

What Causes Unwanted Hair?
Unwanted hair can happen for many reasons and on different parts of the body. Hair growth in unusual areas most often affects women and is often due to hormonal imbalances, which can happen due to genetic and acquired diseases or as a side effect of certain medications. However, the majority of unwanted hair is simply leg, underarm or bikini hair that women no longer want to deal with shaving or waxing off. Men who are balding and shave their heads may wish to have their remaining hair growth stopped, or they might wish to clean up their beardline and get rid of unwanted hair on their neck.
