Can you get Laser Hair Removal with PCOS?
Excessive hair growth on your face and body is possibly the most embarrassing and annoying symptom to do with PCOS. Thankfully, with advances in aesthetic technology, laser hair removal with PCOS is totally possible.
Any woman who doesn’t have PCOS knows what a pain even regular hair removal is, but when you have to deal with hair removal on your face, back, chest, tummy, buttocks, or neck, it’s so much more time consuming – not to mention soul-destroying. Dealing with hirsutism has a habit of seriously denting your confidence and self-worth. When you choose to tackle your excess hair problem head on with laser hair removal, you are making a positive change to your predicament.
With laser hair removal, hair is dealt with at the root. When you shave, pluck, wax, buff, or use hair removal cream you are simply getting rid of the problem temporarily. With laser hair removal you will be reducing your hair growth by a huge 90%. Yes, you will have to invest time and commitment, but think of all the razor blades you’ll save.
Imagine not having to deal with ingrown hairs, razor burn, bumpy irritated skin, or discovering a rogue chin hair on the school run. When you invest in laser hair removal, you won’t just enjoy many, many, more hair-free days, you’ll enjoy a boost in confidence too, and a lot more time which doesn’t have to be devoted to hair removal.
At Nirvana Aesthetics and Wellness, we have 3 options of wavelengths for our laser hair removal. Each device works well on ALL skin and hair types and can be used across multiple areas of the face including:
Our devices are ice cold when they come into contact with your skin. This ensures your skin is kept comfortable while the laser works to target your hair follicles. As these laser hair removal machines work, they heat up to a temperature which ensures the targeted hair follicles are destroyed, thus inhibiting and preventing any future hair growth.
The main thing you need to know about laser hair removal is that a laser can only destroy the hair follicle when your hair is in its anagen stage. This is when it’s in its active growth phase. So, if it’s hit with a laser during this time (which only lasts around two to three weeks), the hair attracts the laser and absorbs it which then destroys – or severely damages - the hair follicle. Then it’s ‘bye bye hair! Call our office today to consult with a skilled provider and start your hair removal journey.
