Some causes for facial hair.
1. Genetics – Some women are naturally more prone to facial hair due to their ethnic background or family history.
2. Hormonal Changes – Puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can increase facial hair due to hormonal shifts.
3. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – A common condition that can cause hirsutism (excess hair growth), along with irregular periods and acne.
4. Medications or Medical Conditions – Certain medications or health issues (like Cushing's syndrome or adrenal disorders) may lead to increased hair growth.

Hi! Yes, Ginette 35 is commonly prescribed for hormonal acne, PCOS-related symptoms, and hirsutism (unwanted facial/body hair). It contains:
• Cyproterone acetate (anti-androgen)
• Ethinylestradiol (estrogen)
Is Ginette 35 safe?
For short- to medium-term use under medical supervision, it is generally safe if:
• You don’t smoke
• Have no history of blood clots, migraines with aura, liver disease, or uncontrolled hypertension
• Your liver function and clotting risks have been assessed
Next Steps
Points to Consider:
• Results take 3–6 months, especially for facial hair reduction
• Works best when part of a combined approach: laser hair reduction + weight control (if PCOS)
• Not a permanent solution alone—relapse can occur after stopping
• Shouldn’t be used long-term (years) without reassessment
Health Tips
Permanent Reduction?
• Laser hair reduction (LHR) + hormonal control (like Ginette 35) is ideal
• LHR works best when facial hair is thick and dark
• Usually 6–8 sessions, with maintenance once or twice a year
