Hello,
Thanks for writing to HCM.

I would advice you to take 6 -8 sessions of laser hair removal (diode procedure best) followed by maintenance sessions (i.e every 6 months after your 8th session onwards)
Apply eflornithine hydrochloride cream daily before you go to bed in places where hair growth is thick.
Apply hairjoy lotion (minoxidil 5%+amenexil2%)
Daily evening only in the crown part. Use it for minimum 1 year. Take Tab.follihair daily once.
Wash your hand well after applying minoxidil do not touch your hair or face, as you may spread the hair loss lotion to your face without knowing and in turn it causes excessive growth of facial hair.
Use ducray Anaphase shampoo twice a week.

I would advice you to do few blood tests- free insulin level, free testosterone level. Consult a dermatologist with test reports for further management.

Regards.
