Unwanted Hair

Unwanted hair can be a persistent and frustrating issue, leading to irritating ingrown hairs and affecting your daily routine. Fortunately, with cutting-edge treatments like laser hair removal, Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics targets hair follicles beneath the surface to reduce and often permanently remove hair safely, effectively, and with minimal downtime.

Understanding Unwanted Hair

Unwanted hair is a common concern that affects people of all ages and genders. Whether it appears as unwanted facial hair, body hair, or fine hair in places you’d rather not see it, excessive or stubborn hair growth can be frustrating to manage. It can interfere with personal grooming routines, lead to skin irritation from frequent shaving or waxing, and affect self-confidence in social or professional settings. Consistent removal can also interrupt routines, quickly becoming a hassle for individuals with busy lifestyles.

Potential Causes

• Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in sex hormones can trigger unwanted hair growth on the upper lip, lower abdomen, and a woman’s face.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common hormonal disorder that can cause excessive hair growth due to elevated androgen levels.
• Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: A genetic condition affecting the adrenal glands that disrupts hormone levels, often resulting in developing hirsutism and increased hair growth.
• Medications: Certain drugs, such as birth control pills, steroids, or hormone treatments, may lead to unwanted hair as a side effect.
• Weight changes: Losing weight or rapid weight gain can disrupt hormone balance, contributing to unwanted hair in some individuals.
• Genetics and skin type: A family history of excess hair or natural differences in hair follicles, hair color, and skin may make some people more prone to unwanted hair growth.

Who is Affected by Unwanted Hair?

Unwanted hair affects real people of any gender, ethnicity, or age. Those with dark hair and light skin typically respond best to laser hair removal, though technology like Diolaze makes it possible to treat a wide range of hair, including light colored hair and even red hair, depending on the treatment area and skin type.

Hair Removal Methods

We offer safe, effective, and long-lasting hair removal solutions designed to address unwanted hair at the literal root:

Diolaze

Diolaze is a cutting-edge laser designed to remove unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface using safe, focused energy. This powerful laser effectively slows or stops hair growth, helping to permanently remove hair over the course of several sessions.

The process is generally safe, though minor pain, temporary redness, or skin reaction at the treatment area can occur. Over time, treated areas experience significantly less hair growth, and many patients enjoy permanent hair removal after completing a series of treatments.
