Hirsutism characterized by excessive hair growth in women, poses significant psychological and social challenges. Conventional treatment modalities, while effective to some extent, may not always provide satisfactory results. This review focuses on the emerging concept of follicular targeting as a novel approach to treating hirsutism. By selectively targeting the hair follicles with specific interventions, follicular targeting holds promise in achieving enhanced clinical outcomes and minimizing side effects. This review outlines rationale, techniques, and potential future and directions of follicular targeting in the management of hirsutism.
