Effect of PCOS on Laser Hair Removal Treatment? What Laser is Best?
I am a 32 yr old female with PCOS and have very black coarse hair on my chin. I use tweezers every 2-3 days and struggle with nasty stubble that are SO prominent on my skin. I am a south east asian with brown/wheatish skin color. I would love to get some help on what kind of laser would be good for my skin and hair growth and whether the results will last or not? Are there any side effects on my skin type?
