To evaluate alterations in total skin collagen and thickness among women diagnosed with hirsuties.
Measured total skin collagen and evaluated skin thickness in women with hirsuties.
Assessed the association between dermal collagen changes and local or circulating androgen activity.
Total skin collagen is greatly elevated in women presenting with hirsuties.
The pronounced increase in skin collagen is attributed to the effects of androgens, whether derived from systemic circulation or local production.

Observational study reveals increased total skin collagen in women with hirsuties, suggesting androgen-driven stimulation of dermal tissue.

Total skin collagen is greatly increased in women with hirsuties. This is presumably due to androgen, whether locally produced or circulating.
