Is there a birth control that can reduce facial hair growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reduce facial hair: All bcp's decrease facial hair by increase the binding globulin produced in the liver that effective ties up testosterone which causes facial hair growth. If you use one of the older generation pill with higher estrogen the effect may be more noticeable.
