Unwanted hair growth is one of the most frustrating symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). For many women, excess hair appears on the face, neck, chest, and other areas, leading to daily shaving, waxing, or painful plucking. Is laser hair removal a permanent option for hair growth related to PCOS?
At Romeo & Juliette Laser Hair Removal, we use the world’s most advanced lasers with optimal wavelengths to safely and effectively treat PCOS-related hair growth for all skin tones year-round. Led by Christian Karavolas, a globally recognized laser specialist, our New York-based center is trusted by editors and celebrities alike for delivering smooth, lasting results.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target and damage the hair follicle. Over a series of treatments, this damage significantly reduces hair regrowth. For many people, it results in smoother skin and less maintenance compared to shaving or waxing.
The PCOS Challenge
While laser hair removal is highly effective, PCOS poses unique challenges. PCOS triggers hormonal imbalances that cause new hair follicles to become active over time. This means that while the laser can destroy existing hair follicles, it can’t prevent your body from producing new ones in the future if your hormones remain unbalanced.
Is It Permanent?
Technically, laser hair removal is considered permanent hair reduction. Many women with PCOS see a dramatic reduction in hair growth after a full course of treatments, often 6–8 sessions spaced several weeks apart. However, due to ongoing hormonal changes, you may need maintenance sessions every 6-12 months to keep regrowth in check.
Tips for Better Results
Combining laser hair removal with effective PCOS management can help you achieve longer-lasting results. Managing your hormone levels with lifestyle changes or medical treatment may help reduce the likelihood of new hair growth. Always choose an experienced provider who understands how to treat hormonal hair growth safely and effectively, especially for facial areas or darker skin tones.
