Hirsutism — Causes, Types & Treatments
Noticing thick, dark hair on your face, chin, chest, or abdomen that feels out of place? You could be experiencing hirsutism — a common hormonal condition that causes excess hair growth in women where men typically grow hair. It’s more than a cosmetic concern — it’s often linked to hormonal imbalances, especially PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). At Dermaclinix, widely regarded as the best skin clinic in South Delhi, Gurgaon, and Noida, our AIIMS-trained dermatologists and laser specialists offer a comprehensive, science-based approach to managing hirsutism. From diagnosis to advanced laser hair reduction, we help you achieve smooth, confident, and worry-free skin. If you’re searching for the “best dermatologist near me for unwanted facial hair in Delhi NCR,” Dermaclinix is your trusted destination for ethical care, advanced technology, and visible results.
What Is Hirsutism?
Hirsutism refers to excessive, coarse, or dark hair growth in areas such as the upper lip, chin, sideburns, chest, abdomen, or back in women. It happens when the body produces higher levels of androgens (male hormones) or the hair follicles become more sensitive to these hormones.
While mild hair growth can be common in certain ethnicities, sudden or dense hair growth may signal an underlying hormonal or metabolic issue that requires professional evaluation.
Types of Hirsutism
Our dermatologists classify hirsutism based on its pattern and cause:
- Constitutional Hirsutism: Mild, genetic tendency to thicker hair in certain families or ethnicities.
- Idiopathic Hirsutism: No identifiable hormonal cause; normal hormone levels but increased follicular sensitivity.
- PCOS-Related Hirsutism: Caused by ovarian hormone imbalance and often accompanied by acne, scalp hair thinning, and irregular periods.
- Secondary (Pathological) Hirsutism: Due to underlying endocrine disorders, tumors, or medications.

Why Does Hirsutism Happen?
Hirsutism can be caused by hormonal changes, medical conditions, or genetic factors. Common causes include:
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): The most frequent cause; leads to elevated androgens, irregular periods, and acne.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Increased testosterone or adrenal hormones.
- Certain Medications: Such as steroids, danazol, or anti-seizure drugs.
- Genetic or Familial Tendency: Seen more commonly in Indian and Mediterranean women.
- Obesity & Insulin Resistance: Can worsen hormonal imbalance.
Occasionally, hirsutism may indicate a more serious condition, such as adrenal or ovarian disorders, which is why a dermatologist and endocrinologist evaluation is crucial.
