Still, getting rid of unwanted body hair is not always so easy, especially for those with a PCOS diagnosis. It can feel like your own body is working against you when it is producing more hair than desired, especially on areas where you don’t want it.

Luckily, there are many different ways you can get rid of that unwanted body hair and feel in control.

Keep reading to learn more about PCOS, why women with PCOS experience excessive hair growth, and how they can regain their confidence by finding the right hair removal method.

What Is PCOS? Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects between 6% to 12% of American women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS have reproductive hormones that are out of balance.

The hormones in our body are responsible for all different sorts of bodily functions, like controlling our sleep-wake cycles, regulating our ovulation cycles, and much more. So, when our hormones are imbalanced, a lot of our normal bodily functions are affected. Here are some of the most common PCOS symptoms:

Irregular periods: Infrequent periods, very light periods, and even prolonged menstrual cycles are some of the most common PCOS signs.

Weight gain: Gaining weight (especially around the abdomen) is very common in women with PCOS. Acne: Many women with PCOS experience acne on their face, chest, and back. Polycystic ovaries: Many women with PCOS have either enlarged ovaries or ovaries with many cysts. Excessive hair growth: Many women with PCOS may get hair growth on the chin, face, and other body parts where they usually would not have hair growth. Why Does PCOS Cause Hair Growth? Of course, every body is different. One woman’s experience with PCOS may look completely different than another woman’s experience. Still, one of the most common and most frustrating symptoms of PCOS for many women is excessive hair growth.

Everyone has hair on their face, but for most women, these hairs are super fine, light, and barely even noticeable. If you have dark, coarse, thick hair growing in place of your usual peach fuzz, that could be a sign of hirsutism.

Hirsutism is the formal term for the excessive facial and body hair growth that comes with PCOS. It affects between 70% to 80% of women with PCOS. This excessive hair growth is caused by the increased levels of androgen in the body.

Androgens are the hormones that are responsible for male characteristics, like facial hair and acne. While all of us are born with some androgen in our bodies, men have much higher levels of the hormone than women.

How To Remove Excess Hair Growth Nobody really knows for sure exactly why some women develop PCOS and why people develop different symptoms. We’re not doctors, so we can’t tell you how to manage your PCOS symptoms (and we wouldn’t try to). 

We understand that dealing with unwanted hair growth can be a frustrating and overwhelming experience, especially when it is caused by a condition like PCOS. That’s why we are here to help. Our team of hair removal experts at Glowyskincare is dedicated to providing you with the best solutions for your hair removal needs.

One of the most effective methods for hair removal for those with PCOS is laser hair removal. This treatment uses beams of light to target the hair follicles and inhibit their growth, resulting in long-term hair reduction. It is a safe and effective option for those with PCOS as it does not cause any damage to the surrounding skin.

Another option is electrolysis hair removal. This method uses a small electrical current to destroy the hair follicle, resulting in permanent hair removal. It is a great option for those with PCOS as it is highly precise and can target individual hairs.

Lastly, we recommend considering waxing and threading as a hair removal option. While these methods are not permanent, they can provide a temporary solution and can be performed by our professional estheticians.

At Glowyskincare, we understand that each individual’s hair growth and hair removal needs are unique. That’s why we offer a personalized approach to hair removal, working with you to find the best solution for your specific needs.
