Excess facial hair in women is primarily caused by an increase in hormones such as testosterone, or sensitivity to these hormones.

It can also arise during menopause; the level of oestrogen is reduced. However, testosterone continues to be produced, causing excess hair growth.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome, also known as PCOS, is a condition wherein there is an increase in testosterone production. One of the symptoms of PCOS can be excessive hair growth.
