Understanding PCOS and Hair Growth

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women and often causes excessive, coarse hair growth in areas like the face, chest, and back. Known as hirsutism, this condition is triggered by elevated androgen levels, leading many women to seek hair removal solutions. Temporary methods like shaving or waxing offer short-term relief but often result in irritation, ingrown hairs, or rapid regrowth.

For a clinical overview of the efficacy of Alexandrite lasers in treating hirsutism from PCOS, visit the National Institutes of Health.

 

Why Laser Hair Removal Is a Safe Option for PCOS

Unlike surface-level techniques, laser hair removal for PCOS directly targets the hair follicle. Medical-grade devices emit light that disables the follicle’s growth function, offering smoother skin and a long-term reduction in unwanted hair.

Key Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for PCOS:

  • Long-Term Hair Reduction – Weakens follicles to slow and minimize regrowth.
  • Prevents Ingrown Hairs – A smoother solution that reduces bumps and inflammation.
  • Improves Skin Texture – Reduces shadowing and roughness for clearer skin.
  • Safe for All Skin Tones – Adjustable laser settings accommodate every complexion.

Common Questions About Hair Removal and PCOS

Is laser hair removal safe for PCOS?

Yes. Medical-grade lasers are safe across all skin types and are particularly effective for managing hormonally driven hair growth.

Will the hair come back?

Hormonal shifts may cause new hair to grow, but maintenance sessions can control regrowth and extend results.

Can laser hair removal prevent ingrown hairs?

Yes. Laser treatment destroys the follicle, which eliminates the root cause of ingrowns.

How many sessions are needed?

Most clients need between 6–10 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the area and hair density.
