    TLDR Permanent hair removal with lasers is the most promising treatment for excessive hair growth.
    The document discussed facial hypertrichosis and hirsutism, which could lead to significant cosmetic and psychological issues. It highlighted various treatment options, including both cosmetic methods like plucking, waxing, and chemical depilation, and medical treatments. Systemic antiandrogens were commonly used but had not been proven effective in clinical studies with modern endpoints. A new medical treatment at the time was eflornithine cream, which worked by inhibiting an enzyme crucial for hair follicle cell division. The document also noted that permanent hair removal through photothermolysis using lasers and pulsed flash-light systems was considered the most promising treatment.
