Hair removal for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
How does PCOS effect hair growth?
PCOS is a condition where sufferers have many small cysts on their ovaries. This syndrome affects one in four women. Usually women don't find out that they have PCOS until they start trying for a family. Some women will have many symptoms including weight gain, hormonal imbalances, acne, depression, irregular periods and excess facial and body hair. Another word describing this excess hair growth is Hirsuitism. This is caused by an in-balance of hormones called androgens and this condition can be very distressing for women due to the excess amount of facial hair that they have. There are many ways that this hair can be removed such as waxing, shaving, threading, many of which can be painful, very time consuming and expensive.
The newest way of removing this unwanted hair is by laser or Intense Pulse Light (IPL). An Intense Pulse Light sends a wave of light that goes to the hair and is absorbed damaging the follicle resulting in a reduction of hair growth. The long term affects of this are great as this improves quality of life by enhancing self esteem and confidence.
