Does laser hair removal work with PCOS?
Hormonal hair growth needs a slightly different approach, but laser still helps.
Quick answer: Yes, laser reduces hair caused by PCOS, but hormones can stimulate new follicles, so more sessions and occasional maintenance are usually needed. Medical management with your GP helps too.
Why PCOS causes hair
Higher androgens stimulate hair on the chin, neck and body.
What to expect
Good reduction, often with 8 or more sessions and top-ups.
Working with your GP
Treating the hormonal side improves laser results.
Confidence
Many clients find laser hugely reduces daily shaving and plucking.
Common questions
Should I stop plucking?
Yes, shave between sessions so the root stays in place for the laser.
