Talk to Dermatologist on Facial Hair
Asking For Self, Female 25, karachi
I'm 25 (F) unmarried. I have a lot thick facial hair and the growth is insane. It's like I will get my face waxed today, and after 2 days I will start getting hair hair.
I don't have PCOS. My reports are normal Alhumdullilah. have gone to multiple doctors they all have said there is no issue of hormones and my periods are normal as well.
I was too busy with my schedule that I didn't even realize when the hair started growing this thick. That my chin is all irriated now. Itches a lot.
I have been to multiple doctors. No one was able to diagnose the actual issue.
2 years back I started taking laser im Canada. All in vain. 6 sessions.. spent 1000s of dollars. No use
There was a time I was so sick of these hair, that I started using razor cz I didn't use to get time to go to the salon every other day.
I have even used epilator.
I don't know what to do, even have gone to homepathic... koi hal nae... What should I do?
I'm not fat but you can say lil chubby since my weigh

if u have gone through all the process already then in my opinion chek with endocrinologist...along with ovaries adrenals are also responsible for making hormones..God forbid it might possible that they are not properly working ...as u told us u r little chubby ...this could b the reason for insulin disturbance .
it's better to visit endocrinologist in person.

I am a Reproductive Endocrinologist. please share your reports and book an appointment. it might b possible that none have diagnosed you properly. go through my visiting car
I have been using IPL hair removal machine from UK and not Chinese. I have been doing that since year 2000. I have treated several of my female patients with thick hair growth on their faces requiring them to shave daily with men's razor. AlHamdoLillah I was able to treat them and all of them eventually got married.
You have mentioned that all your hormones are normal and that you do not have PCOs. I just wanted to inform you that even your hormones could be normal but you may still get thick hair growth. Because it's not the elevated levels of testosterone or LH that cause thick hair growth, instead you get thick hair growth because the hair follicles are hyper sensitive to the normal or below normal levels of the hormones. For example in my practice I have seen many patients with serum Testosterone levels less than 20pg/dl the normal being 8.1-48.0pg/dl. Secondly the timing related to your periodic cycle is very important too in determining the serum Testosterone levels.
I want you to have your Serum Testosterone repeated 14 days "before" the start of the periods (at ovulation) and ultrasound of lower pelvis - ovaries on the same day. Hormone test only from AKUH lab and u/s from any reputable u/s clinic.
When you have the reports, please come to my clinic for assessment and possible treatment. For treatment, I need your hair to be about 1-1½ mm long.
You may take appointment thru Marham or if you Google my name you will get my contact details etc.

thank you for your reply. can you please guide me properly when should I get the test done? since marham has changed some words to gibberish.. and I can't understand. thank you.

Yes they have replaced words with gibberish. Have the tests done from AKUH lab at the time of your ovulation and ultrasound of lower pelvis on the same day.

Great. I don't know if your work or stay at home. This is because if you decide to have treatment done at my clinic, you will have to completely stop waxing, threading, bleaching and touch your hair growth with finger tips. After 2 or 3 sessions of treatment with each 4 weeks apart, you will notice a drastic change.

i work.. that's why I have to thread/wax daily. if you don't mind can you tell me the charges per session? also your location? i want to see how far your clinic is from my place.

I cannot tell you the charges without first examining your extent of hair growth. Unfortunately I cannot write you my address either because Marham will convert that to gibberish. I cannot mention my contact number for the same reason. However if you Google my name you will find my addresses and phone number. I am still awake and you may call now or you may msg me thru whats app

i can see your address but not the phone number..
just to confirm I need to get hormones reports and ultrasound 14 days before periods. that's it correct? and is it a complete hormones test? and would they require the prescription? also can you recommend any other place for U/s other than Aga khan?
and these tests have to be done before and after periods? or just before periods? thank you.
