How to deal with the uncommon adverse effect of hair removal therapies that causes paradoxical hair growth
It becomes crucial to see a dermatologist and, in certain situations, a gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis of any underlying hormonal imbalances or disorders that might be causing excessive hair growth.
Who doesn't adore having a head full of luxurious, thick hair? However, hair becomes problematic anywhere but the scalp, particularly in a nation like India where body hair is still a source of social media trolling. Let's investigate methods for reducing paradoxical hair growth.
"Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy and laser hair removal are two rare hair removal treatments that can cause paradoxical hypertrichosis, or paradoxical hair growth," according to Dr. Aparna Santhanam, a consultant dermatologist at P D Hinduja Hospital & MRC, Mahim. "It causes an increase in hair density or thickness in the treated or adjacent areas, rather than reducing hair growth."
