Why is Laser Hair Removal For PCOS The Best Option

Laser hair removal is the best option for women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), a hormonal disorder affecting 8-13% of women of reproductive age, which equates to around 1.4 million Canadian women. PCOS often leads to excessive hair growth, which can be challenging to manage with traditional methods.

Laser hair removal targets the root of the problem by using focused light energy to disable hair follicles, reducing unwanted hair growth over time. According to the National Library of Medicine, laser hair removal significantly improves the quality of life in the short term for women living with PCOS, making it an effective and long-lasting solution.

Laser Hair Removal For PCOS At Laserbody MD

At Laserbody MD, we offer specialized laser hair removal treatments for women with PCOS. Our advanced and high-rated laser technology is much less painful than traditional methods like electrolysis or waxing, providing a more comfortable experience. That’s because our laser eliminates the root of the hair by targeting the melanin in the follicle, so it can never grow back. All treatments are performed by highly-trained medical professionals under the supervision of a medical doctor, ensuring the highest standards of care and safety.

Key Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for PCOS

Safe and Effective

Laser hair removal is Health Canada-approved and recognized as safe by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

Comfortable Treatment

Unlike painful electrolysis, laser treatments remove unwanted hair without letting it grow out first. Laser treatment is the only method that can permanently remove hair follicles.

Decreased Stress and Depression

Laser hair removal can reduce the stress and depression linked to chronic folliculitis. A study showed that after 24 weeks of treatment, stress levels dropped from 26.7% to 7.0%, and depression from 23.8% to 2.3%, demonstrating its positive impact on mental health.

How Effective is Laser Hair Removal for Facial Hair for PCOS?

Laser hair removal is a widely recognized method for managing unwanted facial hair, particularly for PCOS patients. At Laserbody MD, we understand that its effectiveness largely depends on individual factors such as hair type, skin tone, and the underlying hormonal imbalances caused by PCOS.

  • Hormonal Influence: Since PCOS is a hormonal condition, our laser hair removal treatments may require more sessions compared to someone without PCOS. The persistent hormone imbalance can stimulate new hair growth even after treatment, so we tailor our approach to each patient’s needs.

  • Hair Type and Skin Tone: Our laser hair removal technology works best on dark, coarse hair and lighter skin tones. Women with PCOS often have thicker facial hair, which makes them ideal candidates for our specialized treatments.

  • Number of Sessions: While typically, 6 to 8 sessions are needed for a significant reduction, those with PCOS may require more maintenance sessions to manage regrowth due to ongoing hormonal fluctuations.
