    Facial Hypertrichosis, also known as Excessive Facial Hair Growth, is a condition characterized by an abnormal and excessive growth of hair on the face. This can occur in both men and women and may be caused by genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or underlying medical conditions. It is distinct from hirsutism, which specifically refers to excessive hair growth in women in areas where men typically grow hair.
