Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 10% of women and frequently causes hirsutism - excessive hair growth on the face, chin, chest, and abdomen. This hormonal condition produces elevated androgens that stimulate thicker, darker hair in typically male-pattern areas.
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective treatments for PCOS-related excess hair. At Rani Beauty Clinic, our Candela GentleMax Pro Plus targets and destroys active hair follicles, providing significant long-term reduction. While hormonal fluctuations may stimulate new follicles over time, consistent treatment dramatically reduces hair density and thickness.
Because PCOS is a hormonal condition, patients may need additional maintenance sessions compared to non-hormonal hair growth. We typically recommend completing the standard 6-8 session series, followed by periodic touch-ups as needed. Many PCOS patients combine laser treatment with hormonal management prescribed by their endocrinologist for optimal results.
Dr. Landfield understands the medical complexities of PCOS and ensures your laser protocol accounts for hormonal factors that influence hair growth patterns and treatment response.
