Electrolysis for PCOS Hair Removal

If you are living with PCOS and struggling with unwanted facial or body hair, you are not alone.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can cause persistent, hormonally stimulated hair growth — especially on the chin, jawline, neck, chest, and abdomen.
For many clients with PCOS, electrolysis is the most reliable long-term solution.

Why Laser Often Fails for Hair Growth caused by PCOS

Many clients with PCOS try laser first.

Laser hair removal:

  • Reduces hair temporarily only to see it grow back with a vengeance or exactly the same within a year or 2

  • Requires pigment contrast

  • Can stimulate paradoxical growth in hormonal cases - we will advise on this on a case by case basis because sometimes a combination of LHR+ Electrolysis works

How Electrolysis Works for PCOS

Electrolysis permanently destroys individual hair follicles — regardless of hormone levels, hair color, or skin tone.

Electrolysis with never stimulate paradoxical hair growth.

It works on:

  • ALL hair colors and skin colors. Electrolysis is “color blind”

  • Coarse hormonal growth

  • Darker skin tones

What to Expect

Most PCOS clients begin with:

  • Consistent weekly or biweekly sessions.

  • Ideally, we can get a full clearance of the area at each appointment. If this is not possible, we will advise weekly appointments.

  • Gradual reduction in frequency and length of appointments over time.

Treatment timeline depends on:

  • Density

  • Hormonal stability

  • Previous tweezing or waxing

  • Area treated
