PCOS

​

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects millions of women worldwide. It's difficult to know exactly how many women have PCOS, but it's thought to be very common, affecting about 1 in every 10 women in the UK. More than half of these women do not have any symptoms.  Characterised by irregular periods, excess androgen, and polycystic ovaries. PCOS can lead to a variety of symptoms, including unwanted facial and body hair growth, acne, thinning hair, and difficulty managing weight.

 

One of the most challenging aspects of PCOS for many women is hirsutism, or excessive hair growth. Laser hair removal can offer significant benefits for individuals with PCOS or hormonal imbalances, especially when performed by a specialist who understands these conditions:

 

Long-Lasting Results: Hormonal imbalances, like those in PCOS, can cause excessive hair growth, often resulting in frequent shaving or waxing. Laser hair removal targets hair follicles to reduce hair growth over time, offering a more permanent solution than other hair removal methods.

Reduced Ingrown Hairs and Irritation: Many people with PCOS experience skin sensitivity and are prone to irritation or ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing. Laser hair removal minimises these issues by reducing the need for other hair removal methods that can lead to skin problems.

Time and Cost Efficiency: Although laser hair removal may have a higher initial cost, it can save time and money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent hair removal treatments like waxing, threading, or shaving.

Boosts Confidence: Unwanted hair growth, especially in visible areas, can impact confidence and self-esteem. Laser hair removal can help manage this aspect of PCOS, contributing to improved self-confidence.

Customised Treatment for Persistent Hair Growth: An experienced specialist can customise treatments based on hormonal hair growth patterns common in conditions like PCOS, targeting areas that are especially troublesome and providing effective results.
