I am of Indian descent and I have excess hair in places women usually do not. I have recently started getting laser hair removal. However, I read some websites saying women getting laser hair removal who have hormonal imbalances will not benefit from laser hair removal. I don't have a deep voice or anything like that, I always thought the excess hair is just genetic. Is it only possible for women to have excess dark hair if it is a hormonal imbalance?
Answer: Laser Hair Removal Facts--Takes a series of treatments This is difficult to answer without an in-person evaluation. Women with hormonal imbalances, if that is the issue, can still have laser hair removal. Keep in mind, it will take a series of treatments to get improvement and some people need treatments to maintain. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Hormone Imbalance, PCOS, Hirsutism & Other Hair Growth Thank you for your questions and we understand your concerns. You should probably have your hormone levels checked.With any hormone imbalance, PCOS & hirsutism, your struggle with hair will be an on-going battle but you should be able to see improvement. Look for the best LHR equipment and experience that is medically supervised, rather than the cheapest price.Newer lasers have features built in (such as sapphire cooling tips) to make them more comfortable. Some of the newer technology is also more efficient, allowing for lower energy settings to be used with better results and less discomfort. For any laser treatment, safety is the most important consideration. In our state, every new laser patient has to be seen by a medical practitioner. At that point, they can determine if you can be safely treated with their laser.We recommend finding an experienced and reputable provider in your area with updated equipment. Calibration and power of the laser is important for a safe, comfortable and effective treatment. Find out what laser they will use and if it is under a maintenance contract. If their laser isn’t calibrated on a regular basis or is underpowered, your treatment may be painful or inefficient. We can't comment on the laser you mentioned. It doesn't have the power & features we required.
