PCOS & Laser Hair Removal ... anyone have any experience with the 2?


I鈥檝e had 1 visit of laser hair removal. I have lip, chin & cheek hair. It鈥檚 been affecting me for 12 yrs. About 5-7 yrs ago I found it was caused by Polycystic Ovarian Disease. The Dr told me it would be 4-5 monthly visits to get rid of all the dark hairs. I go 2 a dermatology office; there鈥檚 only 1 Dr. doing the laser 1 day a month. Therefore she is always booked. So when they scheduled me for my 2nd appt it had to be in Dec cuz she鈥檚 booked. My 1st appt was in Oct, 2nd appt in Dec, and 3rd appt is in Feb. Actually I had to reschedule my Dec appt cuz I had the flu. Are these gaps in treatment going to cause me 2 need more than 5 visits to get rid of the hair? Should I switch 2 a Dr that fits me in monthly? Does laser removal really get rid of hair totally or just thin it out? I was told cause I have PCOS I'd need periodic follow up visits since PCOS is producing hair growth hormones. I wonder how often I'll have 2 follow-up & if it鈥檚 worth the $225.00 a visit if it鈥檚 not gonna work.

Hmmm interesting, i pulled up polycystic Ovarian Disease on google and found this, there are ways to PREVENT the hair growth as well when you get those treatments.
