Hypertrichosis, congenital generalized hypertrichosis or werewolf syndrome is a medical term referring to a condition of excessive body hair. It can be generalized, symmetrically affecting most of the torso and limbs, or localized, affecting an area of skin. It may be mild or severe. In most cases, the term is used to refer to an above-average amount of normal body hair that is unwanted and is an aspect of human variability.
In medical practice, once generalized hypertrichosis has been distinguished from hirsutism, it is most often considered a variation of normal, primarily resulting from genetic factors.
Hair removal treatments with Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers or with IPL systems are the faster and most effective procedures to remove hairs or to control diseases such as hypertrichosis and hirsutism.
