PCOS Hair Removal
PCOS hair removal treatments are designed to help manage unwanted, persistent hair growth caused by polycystic ovary syndrome, using a personalised combination of advanced hair removal techniques to achieve long-term, natural-looking results following a detailed consultation.
How Does It Work
PCOS-related hair growth is treated using either laser or electrolysis, depending on the size of the area, hair colour, skin type and how resistant the hair is. Laser targets multiple hair follicles at once using controlled light energy to reduce future growth in suitable areas, while electrolysis treats each individual follicle with a fine sterile probe and electrical current to permanently destroy the hair root. Your practitioner will recommend the most effective approach for you following your consultation.
What to Expect
You will be made comfortable while the treatment area is cleansed and prepared. With laser you may feel brief warmth or a light snapping sensation on the skin, and with electrolysis you may feel a short tingling or heat sensation as each hair is treated. Treatments are well tolerated and settings are adjusted to ensure your comfort throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will I see results?
You may begin to notice a reduction in visible hair after your first few sessions, but best results develop gradually over your course of treatments as more active hair follicles are successfully treated.
Is PCOS hair harder to treat?
Yes, PCOS-related hair growth can be more resistant and may require more sessions than non-hormonal hair. However, with the correct treatment approach and a personalised plan, significant and long-lasting hair reduction can be achieved.
Do you offer finance or payment plans?
Yes, finance options may be available for certain treatments. Please ask at your consultation for full details.
