 hirsutism / hypertrichosis - hypertrichosis lanuginosa
In addition to congenital hypertrichosis lanuginosa where hair develops all over the body, there are other case reports of individuals with hypertrichosis lanuginosa limited only to the face with the torso, arms, and legs being mostly unaffected.
This is not the same as congenital hypertrichosis lanuginosa and there is a separate page describing this condition.
This condition involves all over body hair growth, but the hair is fully pigmented terminal hair and the condition is almost always associated with gingival hyperplasia (teeth defects).

Congenital hypertrichosis means a person is born with excessive hair and continues to grow the hair through their lifetime.
Most times, we feel this way because we wish we had less hair or because getting rid of the unwanted hair we have is such a bother.

 Temporary hair loss using the long-pulsed alexandrite laser at 20 milliseconds
In our study, the long-pulsed alexandrite laser with a pulse duration of 20msec proved to be a good method of treatment for facial hypertrichosis, with very few side effects.
To what extent and wether a pulse duration of 40 milliseconds, which is not offered in series, but as an extra, can increase the efficacy of this laser, still remains unclear and rather questionable due to the results of the study of Nanni et al und Boss et al [4, 5].
[17] could achieve good results in the treatment of hypertrichosis on the entire body in a study with the long-pulsed 2 msec alexandrite laser (Sharplan EpiTouch 5100, energy fluence 25-40 J/cm2, beam diameter 5-7 mm, repetition rate 5 Hz).

If you see hair grwoth in a specific pattern, that is - hair on the beard area, on the chest, in a line between the pubic hair and the belly button, and on the lower arms and legs - it suggests androgen homrone activity is involved.
If the hair is more all over or affects areas other than those listed, it fits with a drug induced hypertrichosis.

Despite similar histologic findings, a dilemma remains as to whether congenital smooth muscle hamartoma is a distinct entity or a form of Becker’s nevus, which consists of hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, and proliferation of smooth muscle, located usually on a shoulder of adolescent males.
Transient piloerection, or elevation of follicular-based papules within a lesion induced by rubbing (“pseudo-Darier sign”), may be observed.[5] In our experience, the pseudo-Darier sign is often absent despite a clear clinical diagnosis.
If desired for cosmetic reasons, the hypertrichosis of smooth muscle hamartoma can be cleared by shaving, chemical depilatories or epilative procedures, such as laser epilation or electrolysis.

The hypertrichotic effect of MTS on sites other than the scalp, including the face, is reversible and does not always require discontinuation of therapy.
Hypertrichosis has been reported more frequently in females than males who use minoxidil topical solution (MTS) for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
To study this in detail, data from placebo-controlled clinical trials in women (up to 5% MTS) were analysed based on spontaneous reports of hypertrichosis / facial hair and investigators enquiries (solicited) about the presence of any new hair growth on body parts other than the scalp.
