AB  - Many  men  and  women  elect  to  remove  unwanted  body  and  facial  hair  for  cosmetic,  cultural,  social,  or  medical  reasons.  There  are  two  main  medical  causes  for  excessive  hair:  hirsutism  and  hypertrichosis.  Hirsutism  is  characterized  by  an  androgen-dependent  hair  pattern  with  excessive  and  increased  body  and  facial  terminal  hair  distributed  in  a  male  pattern.1  It  can  be  idiopathic  or  genetic  in  origin;  however  there  are  medical  conditions  that  can  cause  hirsutism  (Table  10.1).
