There is no medical treatment that can be used to slow down a natural growing process like hair growth. In many cases, this is even considered unnecessary because simple hair removal techniques are all that you need to perform, and you can even increase the frequency of hair removal. Cutting back on the growth of fast growing cells can have a significant effect on other cells of your body like red blood cells and is usually the side effects of cancer treatments. Some of the treatments that tend to destroy fast growing cells are radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
However, a massive amount of hair growth can be a problem to specific zones in the body. For example, if you are experiencing a lot of hair growth in the areas of the face or some other regions of the body like the pubic areas, then this is a completely natural amount of hair growth that cannot be modified. To deal with this kind of hair growth all you can do is to trim down your hair. Facial hair, especially for women is a condition that is sometimes connected to hormonal imbalances within the body in a symptom called hirsutism. This condition usually occurs when there is an excess amount of male hormone in a woman's body that is not being synthesized into estrogen. This condition could also be a by-product of obesity where the estrogen ends up being absorbed into the fatty tissues. In men, one of the major irritating areas of hair growth is the hair of the back. Since this hair is caused by the excessive amounts of testosterone in the blood as well as the presence of dihydrotestosterone. Treating this condition might involve medication to reduce the amounts of male hormone DHT.
One of the drugs that are available for use in this regard is called finasteride. This is a drug that was developed initially as a treatment for prostate cancer but was found to have a beneficial side effect in treating hair loss in men. While this might not sound like the ideal treatment to stem hair growth, finasteride also has the effect of reducing some of androgenic effects in men. In low doses, this drug could probably neutralize the effects of high DHT doses in the human body. There are some side effects to this drug, namely the sudden increase in estrogen amounts in a male that can result in effects like erectile dysfunction and the gradual development of breast tissue. For this purpose, you need to therefore consult a medical professional before attempting a remedy of this type.
