Women with excessive body hair can use depilatory creams. These creams are chemical agents that dissolve hair when applied to the skin surface, although the effect is relatively short-lived. For permanent hair removal, laser treatment is an option. This typically involves using selective photothermal action of laser light to penetrate the skin surface and reach the hair follicles, thereby deactivating them.
