Excess Hair Treatment for Women in Fulham

Excess facial hair, called hirsutism, often stems from hormone sensitivity around the cheeks, chin, or upper lip. Fulham Palace Pharmacy offers eflornithine thirteen point nine per cent cream, the only prescription product that slows new hair growth rather than removing hair already present.

Your first visit lasts about twenty minutes. We confirm you are eighteen or older, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have tried other methods like waxing or threading without lasting relief. High resolution photographs set a clear starting point.

You apply a thin film to clean, dry skin twice daily, at least eight hours apart. Wait five minutes after any hair removal so the cream reaches the follicles properly. Leave the medicine on for at least four hours before washing. Consistency is essential; many women notice softer regrowth after eight weeks, with best results by six months.

We schedule follow ups every eight weeks. Each review covers:

• Hair density check
• Skin comfort questions
• Technique refresher
• Lifestyle habit tips

Common effects include mild stinging, redness, or acne like spots. These usually settle as the skin adapts. Very rare reactions such as folliculitis or numbness have been reported. Tell us if irritation persists so we can adjust frequency or add a soothing moisturiser.

Treatment continues as long as benefit remains. Stopping the cream lets hair return to previous growth rates within eight weeks. We can liaise with your GP if hormone testing or specialist referral becomes helpful.

Simple daily habits strengthen results: use sunscreen, avoid harsh scrubs, change razor heads weekly, and manage stress through gentle exercise.
