No
Excess hair growth may be genetic and is more prevalent in certain ethnicities. Sometimes an excess in some hormones or an imbalance in hormones can result in excess facial hair growth. the first step is to be evaluated by your doctor. Sometimes hormone levels can be checked. Then, based on those findings in combination with your physical and health history sometimes this can be treated with medication. In some women, modifying facial hygiene behaviors, and adding dipilatories or hair removal procedures are satisfactory.
There are medications called spironolactone or vaniqua hair cream can help, but you need to see your ob/gyn so she can do your hormonal panel to make sure you do not have PCOS.
This depends on the type of facial hair growth. If it is peach fuzz, then usually hormones are not a factor. If it is coarse dark hair, it could be hormones or genetics or often a combination of both. There are medications that can help, but the quickest treatment is laser hair removal.
