As a woman ages, her hormonal balance naturally changes. Around and after menopause, estrogen levels drop, and androgens become relatively dominant.
This can lead to:
Appearance of facial hair
Thinning hair on the scalp
Dry skin
🔹 3. Genetic predisposition
Some women have a hereditary tendency to have facial hair. If your mother, grandmother, or sisters also have similar signs, it is most likely an individual trait.
🔹 4. Obesity and insulin resistance
Fat tissue is involved in hormonal metabolism, and excess weight can stimulate the production of androgens. In addition, insulin resistance – often associated with excess weight – affects hormones and can cause hirsutism (excessive hair growth in a male pattern).
🔹 5. Tumors and serious illnesses
In rare cases, the sudden and pronounced appearance of facial hair may be a sign of a hormone-producing tumor. This requires immediate medical attention.
Alarm signals:
Sharp increase in hair growth
Pronounced masculine facial features
Deepening the voice
Menstrual cycle disorders
