Everything You Need to Know about Laser Hair Removal for PCOS. Excess facial or body hair is one of the most common — and often most frustrating — symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Due to elevated androgen (male hormone) levels, many women experience coarse, dark hairs on areas such as the chin, upper lip, chest, stomach, or back.
While waxing, shaving, or threading can help temporarily, these methods can irritate the skin and require constant upkeep. That’s where laser hair removal for PCOS at Bradford Skin Clinic offers a long-term, confidence-boosting solution.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal works by directing a concentrated beam of light into the hair follicle. The pigment (melanin) absorbs the light, which converts to heat and safely damages the follicle, reducing and slowing future hair growth.
Over several sessions, hair becomes finer, lighter, and less noticeable — leaving your skin smoother, softer, and easier to manage.
Why Laser Hair Removal Is Ideal for PCOS Clients
1. Long-Term Hair Reduction
PCOS-related hair growth can be thick and persistent. Laser hair removal significantly reduces regrowth, helping you achieve smoother skin that’s easier to manage.
2. Gentle and Safe for Sensitive Skin
Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair removal helps prevent irritation, redness, and ingrown hairs — perfect for delicate facial and body areas.
3. Boosts Confidence and Comfort
Many of our PCOS clients describe laser hair removal as life-changing. With reduced facial and body hair, you can feel more comfortable and confident every day.
4. Saves Time and Money
Though multiple sessions are needed, the long-term benefits mean less time spent on daily hair removal and fewer salon visits for waxing.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Because PCOS is a hormonal condition, some ongoing maintenance may be required. Most clients start with 6–10 sessions, spaced around 4–6 weeks apart, followed by occasional top-ups to maintain results.
Your Bradford Skin Clinic specialist will design a treatment plan based on your skin type, hair colour, and hormonal balance.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for PCOS Clients?
Yes — laser hair removal is safe and effective for clients with PCOS when performed by trained professionals using medical-grade laser systems.
At Bradford Skin Clinic, we always carry out a full consultation and patch test before your treatment to ensure comfort, safety, and the best possible results.
Realistic Expectations
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction (typically 70–90%), though hormonal changes can sometimes cause new hair growth. The good news? Any regrowth is usually finer, lighter, and far less noticeable than before treatment.
