Facial hirsutism, which is the growth of excess hair on the face, is often caused by hormone imbalances such as an increase in androgen levels. It is important for the client to speak to their healthcare provider about possible causes and treatment options. There is no evidence to support that diet or vitamin deficiencies cause facial hirsutism.
