The problem of coarse hair growth on body and face is seen in 5-10 percent of women. Excess production of male hormones or conditions like Poly Cystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) can lead to unwanted hair growth in women. If you are overweight, losing weight can help reduce the growth of facial hair. Methods like bleaching to lighten them, plucking or shaving are other ways to get rid of facial hair. For permanent hair removal, treatments like electrolysis and laser are available.
