Having body hair and facial hair is normal for both genders. Women and sometimes men often seek hair removal, which can be waxing, shaving, laser hair removal, etc. There are reasons why new hair growth starts to come even though you are seeking treatment.

There are two factors on new hair growth, they are either together or individually that initiate or accelerate hair growth. ( Increasing blood supply, hormone stimulation).

Increasing Blood Supply

If the vellus lanugo hair is already growing from the lobe of a sebaceous ( oil ) gland and an increase in blood supply to that area will enhance the growth. The hair will grow deeper and coarser.

Hormone Stimulation

There are certain hormones that have the ability for uniting the growth of new hairs where they do not exist. In women, when a glandular imbalance occurs. Some areas have the normal “ male pattern hair growth." The pubic area, face, armpits and chest are the first to show increased growth.

Surgical Changes

The surgical removal of the sex glands ( ovariectomy, oophorectomy). In women after puberty brings about artificial menopause.

Emotional Changes

It has been found that people under stress often developed heavier hair growth than would under normal conditions. For example, the women in world war 2, manifested unusual hirsutism because of the emotional crisis. This happens because the adrenal glands are highly active during crises.

Medical Changes

When taking any hormonal medication may possibly lead to abnormal growth. Birth control pills also have an extraordinary effect on certain people. Some women who have tended to have excess lango hair lose it when they start to take birth control pills. Each woman is unique so there are no ways to predict her / their reaction when they take the drugs.

Achard- Thiers syndrome is often called diabetes in bearded women. It is a condition in which features of the astringent and cushing syndrome are combined.

Systemic Causes

Hormones are expelled from the endocrine glands . Control the growth and development of every organ in the body and including hair.

Sex hormones: ( a ) androgens ( male )

( b) estrogens ( female )

( c ) progesterone ( female

Corticosteroid : ( a ) glucocorticoid (b) (mineralocorticoids)

The Ovaries

The ovaries, which are the female counterparts, direct the reproductive life of a woman. Estrogen is instrumental in the fertilization of the ovum by male sperm and is responsible for the emergence of secondary fender characteristics. Many glands of the endocrine system can affect the stimulation of the body, and face hair indirectly. For example (the pituitary gland, or possibly the thyroid. If there is an appearance of hair on the face or body because of a systemic imbalance involving an increase in the production.

Normal Systemic Changes

Certain special areas have been designed as the future of hair growth. These areas are the same for men and women and one of the factors that save women from male hairiness.

Barba: The face

Capili: The head

Cilia: The eyebrows

Hirsi: The armpit

Pubes: Pubic region

Supercilia: The eyebrows

Tragi: The ears

Vibrissae : The nostrils

Puberty is a secretion of certain gonadotropins are the gonads ( ovaries or testes. In a male, the influence of adrenal hormones on bodily changes is largely overshadowed by the action of the testicular hormone. In the female, estrogen produced by the ovaries are working in connection with the male androgens from the adrenal cortex to create secondary sex characteristics. In women, the increase in adrenocortical androgens is responsible for the appearance of pubic and axillary hair. In men, the aeronautical androgens control the appearance of the pubic and axillary. Testosterone is the most powerful hormone from the testes and is responsible for all hair patterns. For example, pubic hair is stimulated by the adrenocortical, the character like how long and if the hair travels to the belly button. One unfortunate effect of testosterone is the receding of the hairline ( baldness ) which is inherited.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time when there is unusual endocrine activity. Often a growth will appear on the upper lip, chin and the side of the face of a pregnant women. Not long after the women gives birth to her baby the endocrine balances out and the unwanted hair disappears.

Menopause

Menopause is the end of women reproductive life. It is a gradual and radical change which takes a place over a period of years. Since hormones are produced in the ovaries having a restraining effect on the pituitary. So a lack of estrogen means a lack of proper control over this master gland which then begins to send out a flood of stimulating hormones.
