Hirsutism Treatment in Mumbai (Excess Hair Growth)

Dr. Shruti Shah consulting a patient regarding hirsutism treatment and excess hair growth

Struggling with Excess Facial/Body Hair or Hirsutism?

Hirsutism is characterized by excess dark, coarse hair growth in women on areas like the face, chin, chest, abdomen, and back. It is typically driven by elevated androgen (male hormone) levels or increased sensitivity of hair follicles.

Dr. Shruti Shah provides specialized endocrine diagnostics and multi-specialty clinical plans to address the root hormonal causes of hirsutism, bringing back self-confidence and health.

Endocrine Diagnostics

Thorough analysis of serum testosterone, free androgen index, DHEAS, and prolactin to pinpoint hormone secretion sources.

Targeted Medical Therapy

Prescribing safe, FDA-approved anti-androgens and insulin sensitizers to regulate hormone production and arrest hair follicle activity.

Integrated Cosmetic Care

Coordinating hormonal therapy with clinical laser hair reduction to achieve permanent, smooth skin results.

Signs & Associated Symptoms of Hirsutism

Hirsutism is rarely an isolated issue; it is often part of a broader endocrine imbalance that requires medical treatment.

  • Thick, dark hair growth on chin, jawline, upper lip, or chest
  • Severe, persistent acne resistant to standard topical creams
  • Irregular, delayed, or missed menstrual cycles
  • Male-pattern hair thinning or loss on the scalp (alopecia)
  • Excessive skin oiliness and sebum production
  • Difficulty managing body weight despite diet and exercise

How We Treat Hirsutism & Androgen Excess

Our treatment approach targets both internal hormone levels and external hair follicle activity:

The goal is to restore normal hormone levels, which slows down new hair growth and improves skin texture over time.

  • Diagnostic Mapping

    Carefully differentiating between PCOS, Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), adrenal gland issues, and idiopathic hirsutism.

  • Hormone Receptor Blockers

    Safely administering anti-androgens that prevent male hormones from binding to skin and hair receptors.

  • Insulin & Metabolic Regulation

    Treating insulin resistance, which directly triggers the ovaries to produce excess testosterone.

  • Laser & Derm Coordination

    Working in sync with dermatologists to ensure that laser hair reduction is performed while hormones are stabilized for optimal results.

Integrated Care for Hormonal Skin & Hair Balance

Achieving lasting results for hirsutism requires addressing metabolic triggers inside the body rather than just external hair removal.

Ovarian & Adrenal Imaging

Utilizing high-accuracy pelvic ultrasounds and adrenal scans to rule out benign growths or hyperplasia.

Metabolic & Diet Plans

Designing specialized low-glycemic nutrition structures that lower insulin levels and naturally decrease testosterone production.

Long-Term Care Protocols

Providing continuous follow-up care and periodic hormone tests to ensure symptoms do not recur once treatment ends.
