Question:-I have started to get unwanted hair on my chin is this because of a hormonal imbalance due to the menopause

Reply:-Yes changes in body & facial hair occur as we get older and around the time of the menopause.

This is due to oestrogen levels falling changing the body and hormone balance, sometimes when weight is gained too.

Hirsutism:- the growth of excess body and facial hair affects only a few women.

Alopecia:- the loss and thinning of hair

Treatment:- do not shave, seek medical advice, Electrolysis, sugaring or waxing is recommended.
