What is PCOS?

PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a common hormonal disorder that affects people with ovaries, typically during their reproductive years. It is characterized by a combination of symptoms, which can include:

  • Irregular periods: Menstrual cycles may be longer, fewer, or absent altogether.
  • Ovarian cysts: Multiple small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) may form on the ovaries, visible during an ultrasound.
  • Excess androgens (male hormones): This can lead to symptoms like increased facial or body hair (hirsutism), acne, and thinning hair.
  • Difficulty with fertility: PCOS can affect ovulation, making it harder to conceive.

PCOS & Excessive Hair Growth

How Can Laser Hair Removal Help?

Excessive hair growth is a common symptom of PCOS due to an imbalance of hormones, specifically higher levels of androgens (male hormones). This can lead to unwanted hair on areas like the face, chest, and back.

At La Unique Laser Centre we offer laser hair removal, a very effective treatment to manage this symptom, offering long-lasting results by targeting hair follicles and reducing hair growth over time. If you’re dealing with PCOS-related hair growth, our laser treatments can help you feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.

Common Areas for PCOS Related Hair Growth

For individuals with PCOS, excessive hair growth (hirsutism) commonly occurs in areas where men typically grow hair due to higher androgen (male hormone) levels. The most common areas include:

  • Face: Above the upper lip, chin, and jawline.
  • Chest: Around the nipples and upper chest area.
  • Back: Across the upper or lower back.
  • Abdomen: Often around the belly button.
  • Thighs: Inner thighs may also experience increased hair growth.

Laser hair removal is a popular and effective treatment option for managing unwanted hair growth in these areas caused by PCOS.
