Dealing with hirsutism can be difficult for women living with PCOS, but laser hair removal can significantly decrease unwanted hair growth and restore confidence.
Before going in for laser hair removal treatments, people must refrain from shaving, waxing or tweezing the areas that require treatment. Furthermore, tanning beds or natural sun exposure should also be avoided since tanned skin makes it harder for laser light to target hair follicles directly.
Long-Lasting Results
PCOS women may experience excess hair growth as a symptom. Due to elevated testosterone levels, their bodies produce more androgen-based hair follicles than usual and this can affect face, breasts and stomach areas causing discomfort, embarrassment and difficulty managing. Hormone replacement therapy may help alleviate some symptoms but won’t remove existing hairs – that’s where laser hair removal can come into play.
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective solution to permanently eliminate unwanted hair. It’s less invasive than shaving, waxing or threading while taking much less time compared to these methods of removal. Laser treatment works by targeting hair follicles by sending energy through them which causes them to collapse and die, stopping new ones from growing back in – leading to long-term reduction or even permanent removal of unwanted follicles resulting in permanent reduction of unwanted hair growth.
Laser hair removal alone cannot treat the hormonal irregularities that contribute to excess hair growth; thus, its return is likely unless you follow your doctor’s treatment management plan – this could include oral or injectable hormone therapy, weight loss plans or fertility planning strategies – in order to experience positive health improvements and obtain optimal outcomes from treatments. It’s crucial that patients remain committed to this plan if they want the best possible outcomes from treatments they undergo.

PCOS patients usually need more sessions than those without the condition to reduce hair growth significantly and permanently. This is because excessive androgen can trigger darker and thicker follicles which require additional treatments in order to be cleared out from their systems. After completion of a full course of treatments, you should experience marked reduction in hair growth.
Reduced Ingrown Hairs
Women suffering from PCOS often have excessive hair growth that needs to be addressed through shaving, waxing or plucking methods that result in painful ingrown hairs that leave their skin red, bumpy and irritated. Laser hair removal offers a safer and more effective solution for unwanted facial and body hair growth.
Laser hair removal works by targeting pulses of light-energy to heat and destroy hair follicle growth cells, effectively stopping future hair growth. Laser treatments offer permanent solutions to unwanted hair; however, multiple sessions may be required in order to catch all anagen phase hairs; it is therefore advised against shaving or any other form of removal between sessions.
Laser hair removal can be beneficial in treating PCOS because it helps reduce unwanted hair growth while simultaneously slowing its spread. Because laser light energy targets pigment in hair follicles using heated light energy, it works especially well against darker-haired individuals that typically represent this disorder.
Also effective is using waxing on the neck area – another trouble spot for women with PCOS due to coarser, thicker hair growth that’s more difficult to remove with traditional methods such as shaving or waxing. Ingrown hairs tend to occur more often in this region and may be especially painful and itchy.
Electrolysis and threading can also be effective ways of hair reduction for people living with PCOS; however, they can be time-consuming and uncomfortable, particularly for those with sensitive skin. Furthermore, they don’t always produce long-term results; typically requiring multiple sessions targeted specifically at targeting individual follicles which may leave scarring, discolouration, or infection behind.
Laser hair removal offers PCOS patients an easier, faster and more convenient solution for getting rid of unwanted hair. Compared with shaving, waxing or plucking, laser removal requires no downtime – plus its effectiveness surpasses any other hair reduction treatments on any area of the body!
Less Painful Than Other Hair Removal Methods
Laser heat damages the hair follicle, effectively disabling it and preventing new hair growth from emerging – eliminating pain, irritation and discomfort associated with shaving, waxing, plucking or other methods of hair removal.
Numbing creams may help ease pain, but their overuse could cause serious side effects and be dangerous to life and limb. According to the Food and Drug Administration’s recommendations, use sparingly in small areas only and consult your laser provider before making your decision on using one of these creams.
Laser hair removal can be uncomfortable for many, particularly those with sensitive skin. If it becomes too painful, treatment sessions can always be paused or you can request lower power settings. Furthermore, tanning or shaving prior to laser treatments should be avoided as they could cause the skin to burn or sting, so avoid these actions at all costs!
Avoid scratching the area being treated, as this may cause further irritation and scarring. Instead, soothe it using ice packs, soothing creams or over-the-counter medication.
Laser treatments tend to be quicker than electrolysis sessions, which may last several hours; this is likely because laser light does not have to penetrate as deeply into skin tissue like needles do.
Laser treatments for hair removal are both less painful and highly effective, being able to efficiently eliminate unwanted body hair on faces, bikini areas, legs, arms and chest areas. Indeed, it has become one of the most sought-after ways of eliminating unwanted body hair.

Laser hair removal is also highly safe for use on facial and other parts of the body, including arms, legs, back, bikini line area and bikini area. Furthermore, this form of treatment has proven more successful than IPL for reducing facial hirsutism in women with PCOS than using IPL laser technology alone.
Before beginning treatments, we will first assess your individual situation to identify the most effective way to curb hair growth. This may involve considering factors like thickness of your hair and skin tone as well as medications or supplements you are currently taking that could alter how the laser performs.
Once we apply cooling gel to the treatment area, we’ll prepare to deliver laser energy. This typically takes less than 30 minutes for smaller areas while larger areas could take up to an hour – although you should experience no long-term discomfort following treatment sessions; you might just experience temporary puffiness or redness in the area that’s being treated.
Most people tend to associate laser hair removal with legs and arms, but any area of the body can benefit. You could even address issues like hirsutism on eyebrows, cheeks, chin or upper lips!
As soon as it comes to laser hair removal, one key aspect you should understand is that it only works on hair in its active growth stage – known as anagen – at any one time. Therefore, multiple treatment sessions will likely be needed before reaching desired results.
