Laser Hair Removal for the
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Community
According to research carried out by Verity, a UK charity for women whose lives are affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the most common and embarrassing symptoms is excess facial and body hair.
Most women who suffer from PCOS have thick hair growth in places where only men usually have hair such as the face, neck, back, chest, nipple area, knuckles and toes. This condition is known as hirsutism.
Although shaving, waxing and threading can solve the problem temporarily, most women with PCOS are looking for a longer term solution. 
What is PCOS? Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), also known as polycystic ovary disease, is a condition that affects up to 10% of females of reproductive age worldwide. Women who suffer from PCOS have irregular hormone production. This means their ovaries produce high levels of the male hormone, testosterone, which causes excessive hair growth and other symptoms such as irregular periods (menstrual cycle), infertility, weight gain and numerous other health problems. PCOS is treatable, but it cannot be cured. For detailed information on PCOS, please go to Wikipedia On this website I discuss various hair removal methods, in particular, how a course of laser hair removal can help to permanently reduce hair growth. I am going to share my own personal experience of treating hundreds of women suffering from PCOS with laser and how it has changed their lives.
When I meet women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome, they are normally very stressed and emotionally disturbed as a result of the condition. In some cases, the excessive hair growth on their face is so bad that it looks like a man’s beard, often with a five o’clock shadow.
Most of my PCOS clients have to tweeze every day just to remove the unwanted hair, and they often end up scarring their skin. From my experience, the scarring does not bother them as much as the unsightly hair.For example, one of my clients used to hide her neck with a scarf, even in the summer months, because she was so embarrassed about the unwanted hair on her neck. After undergoing 3 laser hair removal sessions, she returned for a fourth session and was elated because her hair growth had slowed down and the dark patches around her chin had disappeared. She now appears and feels like a completely different person who no longer hides her neck with a scarf! Most PCOS sufferers who first undergo laser hair removal will require 6 to 12 sessions with regular top-ups to keep the hair growth under control. It’s a lifetime commitment, but it’s definitely preferable to threading and waxing every couple of days. When you decide to undergo laser hair removal, look for salons/clinics that meet the following criteria:
- Affordability – Special Prices for PCOS Sufferers
Your local NHS may be willing to cover the cost of your treatments depending on your particular post code area, but you may still have to wait a very long time. If you will be paying for the procedure, make sure the clinic or salon offers a special price if you are a PCOS sufferer, as you will become one of their regular clients. For example, at my clinic if you suffer from PCOS and can provide a valid doctor’s note, I offer a 15% discount for all my laser hair removal courses. Better still, if you book a course of 12 treatments I give one "FREE" session per year for life. Even better then that you can save even more money for your regular top-up treatments. I have reduced the price by 40% for all top-up treatments for PCOS sufferers for life.

You’ll be undergoing laser treatments on a regular basis for the rest of your life, so you want to ensure that the clinic you choose uses the latest technology in hair removal. There are many different lasers currently on the market ranging from the IPLs to the Ruby, Alexandrite and Nd:YAG. However, did you know that there is an advanced laser machine that causes no pain called the Soprano XL? Not many people know this because laser clinic owners only use and tell clients about the lasers that they have. - Treatment for Any Hair Colour
Previously if you had white, red or blonde hair, you had to undergo a course of painful electrolysis, as lasers don’t work as efficiently on these coloured hairs. Clients used to have to undergo many years of these painful, slow electrolysis treatments to experience positive results.Now instead of having to undergo electrolysis, look for a clinic that uses the new ‘painless’ machine called the Painless Hair Removal Machine called the Applisonix, which uses ultrasound energy to remove hair of any colour. This is a new breakthrough in hair removal technology. You can look for a clinic near you that uses this machine by going to their website Clinics in the UK
