Make it stand out

If you have **PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)**, you know how frustrating **excess facial hair** can be. Shaving and waxing are temporary, but **laser hair removal** provides a **long-term solution**.

Why Is PCOS Facial Hair Harder to Treat?

✔ PCOS-related hair is thicker and more stubborn
✔ Hormonal imbalances can cause regrowth even after laser
✔ Requires more sessions compared to non-PCOS hair growth

Best Laser Hair Removal Options for PCOS

1. Diode Laser (LightSheer, Motus AX)

✔ Best for coarse, dark hair
✔ Suitable for light to medium skin tones

2. ND:YAG Laser

✔ The safest option for darker skin tones
✔ Penetrates deeper into hair follicles for long-term results

3. Alexandrite Laser

✔ Effective for lighter skin tones
✔ Works well for reducing stubborn facial hair

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

✔ Due to hormonal hair growth, most PCOS patients need 8-12 sessions
✔ Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months may be necessary

💡 Expert Tip: Combine laser hair removal with hormone management (such as birth control or spironolactone) for the best long-term results.
