Hypertrichosis : Diagnosis, Medication & Advanced Hair Removal Therapies
What is Hypertrichosis?
Hypertrichosis, often referred to as “werewolf syndrome,” is a condition characterized by excessive hair growth in areas where hair is normally minimal or absent. It can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired due to medical conditions, medications, or other underlying factors. At Fortmax Clinic, we offer specialized, medically approved treatments to manage and reduce excessive hair growth effectively.
Comprehensive Medical Treatments for Hypertrichosis
At Fortmax Clinic, our dermatologists and medical specialists use advanced diagnostic methods and cutting-edge treatments to help patients achieve smooth, hair-free skin.
1. Medical Diagnosis & Evaluation
Before initiating treatment, our specialists conduct a thorough assessment, including:
- Physical Examination & Medical History Review: To identify the type and potential cause of Hypertrichosis.
- Blood Tests: To check for hormonal imbalances, underlying disorders, or medication-related causes.
- Skin Biopsy (In Rare Cases): To rule out dermatological conditions contributing to excessive hair growth.
2. Laser Hair Removal Therapy
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective long-term solutions for Hypertrichosis. It works by targeting hair follicles with concentrated light energy, inhibiting future growth.
- How It Works:
- Uses medical-grade laser technology to destroy hair follicles.
- Requires multiple sessions for optimal results.
- Works best on dark hair but can be adapted for various hair and skin types.
- Benefits:
- Long-lasting hair reduction
- Minimally invasive and virtually painless
- No downtime required
3. Electrolysis – Permanent Hair Removal Solution
Electrolysis is an FDA-approved treatment that offers permanent hair removal.

- Effective for all hair colors and skin types.
- Performed over multiple sessions depending on the area treated.
- Benefits:
- Permanent hair removal

4. Hormonal & Medication-Based Therapy
If Hypertrichosis is caused by hormonal imbalances, we offer medical treatments to regulate hair growth.
- Anti-Androgen Medications:
- Spironolactone – Reduces androgen levels that stimulate hair growth.
- Finasteride – Commonly used to treat hair-related conditions in men.
- Oral Contraceptives (For Women):
- Helps regulate hormonal imbalances contributing to excessive hair growth.
- Topical Hair Growth Inhibitors:
- Eflornithine (Vaniqa) – A prescription cream that slows facial hair growth.
5. Dermatological Procedures for Hair Reduction
