Manage PCOS With Laser Hair Removal in Springfield Missouri
Have you been diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)? Are you noticing overproduction of dark hair commonly seen in men such as the face, chest, and back? At Advanced Laser Clinic, we have over 20 years of experience in laser hair removal, and we're here to help you get rid of that unwanted facial and body hair.
Hormone imbalances caused by PCOS can create an excess of androgen, a male hormone that causes unwanted hair growth on the face, back, chest, lower legs, and abdomen. This hair can be thicker, darker, or excessive due to the extra hormones in the body.
This means shaving and waxing areas with more frequency – sometimes twice per day – compared with the average person. With laser hair removal, you can look forward to hair free days and even weeks in between your hair removal sessions.
September is PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Awareness month. This month is designed to increase awareness, education and research for this disease that is affecting as much as 20% of women ages 18-44.
At Advanced Laser Clinic we want to educate women about one of the most common symptoms caused by PCOS - excessive unwanted hair growth - and how laser hair removal can help.
PCOS is characterized by hormonal imbalances, resulting in the development of cysts on the ovaries, irregular menstrual cycles, and most often, elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) like testosterone.
Unfortunately, the elevated testosterone can cause the growth of course, dark hair in areas typically associated with male-pattern hair growth, such as the face, chest, back and abdomen. This not only impacts the physical appearance but can lead to emotional distress and lowered self-confidence.
Laser hair removal can be the solution for managing unwanted hair growth caused by PCOS. There are many benefits such as:
Long-Term Reduction
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that involves using concentrated energy to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing or delaying future hair growth. This is important for PCOS patients since they can struggle with persistent and excessive hair growth.
Less Maintenance
For patients with PCOS, the relentless cycle of hair growth can be emotionally distressing and time-consuming to manage. Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions, but once the treatment plan is completed, the need for frequent hair removal routines decreases significantly.
When you have PCOS you may need maintenance treatments once or twice each year.
Minimized Skin Irritation
PCOS related hair growth can lead to frequent hair removal methods that cause skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and discomfort. Laser hair removal reduces the need for constant shaving or waxing which leads to smoother skin.
