Health Tip

The presence of coarse hair on the upper lip, chin and cheek is a common problem in women. It needs to be medically investigated to rule out an underlying cause (e.g. polycystic ovarian syndrome). Excess hair can be removed by various methods that include shaving, tweezing, waxing, chemical depilation and electrolysis.
