A trichologist explained the appearance of mustaches in girls

Anna Matveeva, a trichologist at the Scandinavian Health Center, noted in a conversation with Izvestia that teenagers began to turn to trichologists and related specialists more often with complaints of pronounced dark hair above the upper lip, on the chin and along the white line of the abdomen.

"We are not talking about a light cannon, but about dense dark hairs that are clearly visible and cause pronounced discomfort. This dynamic of appeals reflects two processes: if some girls develop hormonal and metabolic disorders, then others have a rather far-fetched problem. Their increased sensitivity to appearance is superimposed on comparing themselves with bloggers and media content," Matveeva comments.

According to the trichologist, adolescents with overweight and obesity are more likely to have menstrual irregularities and signs of an excess of androgens (male sex hormones). Against the background of excessive nutrition and low physical activity, insulin resistance is formed. The doctor believes that the increase in the number of such patients reflects the general deterioration of the metabolic health of adolescents.
