I HAVE PCOS…CAN YOU HELP ME WITH HAIR REMOVAL?
You are not alone ladies, I am asked this question several times a month!
Does this sound like you?
“I don’t know if you can help me but I have been diagnosed with PCOS
And I have a lot of dark facial hair that is really making me depressed, I’m just
wanting this nightmare to go away… I just want the stubble to go away… I want to
feel like a woman again”
Well what if I told you, I treat people like you all the time!
PCOS is such a common condition nowadays (I have had PCOS for 30 or more years now), yet so many women think they just have to live with the excessive hair growth.
You don’t have to ‘live with it’, you do have options for hair removal that will make you feel like a woman again!
Your choices for removing your hair are:
- Shaving – This is often quick and painless and your hair shouldn’t grow back darker or thicker. Irritation can occur and you may need to shave frequently.
- Bleaching – Bleaching just lightens the hair and make it seem less noticeable. The bleach may cause irritation though.
- Waxing, threading and plucking – ouch! This can be painful, especially if there is a lot of hair to deal with. The advantage is that it is longer-lasting than shaving or bleaching.
- Electrolysis – Electricity is used to damage the hair follicle, destroying the hair. It can be painful and could take a number of treatments, depending on the extent of the hair. Hair can also grow back if the underlying hormonal imbalances have not been addressed.
- IPL Permanent Hair removal – A small beam of laser light is directed at the hair follicle. The melanin in the hair absorbs the light and the hair is damaged. A number of treatments are needed and hair can regrow so follow up sessions may be needed.
What is the best option for PCOS sufferers?
Well, in my opinion, both as a technician and a PCOS sufferer, there is only ONE choice that will put a smile on your dial again!
My recommendation is IPL Permanent hair removal.
IPL treatment only works on darker hair, which is great for those with the dark, coarse hair that often comes as a symptom of PCOS, but not so much on finer, light hair.
It is performed on a section of skin at a time and several treatments are required before results are seen.
Because of internal hormone irregularities within the body it is impossible to control what is happening on the inside and because laser treatment works on the surface of the skin there are limitations as to what it can achieve. Due to this condition hair growth often is persistent and resilient and advanced medical grade lasers provide the best solution ensuring that the best possible results can be achieved safely.
Once a satisfactory reduction in hair growth has been achieved after a number of IPL sessions, results will need to be maintained, the frequency and number of these treatments depends on the person as everyone’s hormone profile is different. Although results on larger body areas may require less frequent maintenance treatments it should be expected that facial hair will need to be maintained on the 8-12 week cycle.
In just a few short sessions your confidence can be restored and a noticeable reduction in hair growth can be achieved. IPL hair removal really can make a difference to how you feel about your appearance.
