PCOS and Excess Hair Growth

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide—many of whom may not even know they have it. While PCOS can cause a variety of symptoms, one of the most visible and often distressing is excessive hair growth, also known as hirsutism.

How PCOS Affects Hair Growth

The hormonal imbalance caused by PCOS often leads to higher levels of androgens (male hormones). This can trigger unwanted hair growth in areas typically more common in men, including:

  • Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)

  • Neck and chest

  • Abdomen

  • Back and shoulders

  • Arms and legs

This can impact self-esteem and daily routines, making long-term hair removal solutions a priority for many dealing with PCOS.

Effective Treatments for PCOS-Related Hair Growth

At Permanent Choice, we offer proven solutions to help manage excess hair caused by PCOS. Two of the most effective treatment options include:

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to damage hair follicles and reduce regrowth over time. It’s ideal for treating larger areas and offers long-lasting results, especially with consistent sessions.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is an FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It works by destroying the hair follicle with a tiny electric current and is highly effective for all skin types and hair colors, making it a perfect option for PCOS-related hair growth.
