When to see a GP instead
This treatment is for the cosmetic management of unwanted facial hair growth. See a GP if the hair growth has started suddenly or is worsening quickly, if it's accompanied by other changes such as irregular or missing periods, acne, deepening of the voice, or increased muscle bulk, or if you notice hair growth in a typically male pattern spreading beyond the face, as these can be signs of an underlying hormonal condition that needs proper investigation before starting any treatment.
