How long till you start to tell that you have less hair when you go to laser treatments?

Usually it is recommended to have at least 6 to 8 treatments of LHR to notice a reduction of hair.However when you have an underlying condition that stimulates hair growth there may be more  to evaluate. I recommend you see a Dermatologist in your area for further investigation.

Thank you for your question! Laser Hair Removal treatments are spaced out about 4-6 weeks, and most people begin to see results in 3-5 treatments, however some may need more depending on skin type, and color and thickness of the hair follicle. With hair growth being a side effect of PCOS, Laser Hair Removal may have different results than a typical patient as the cause for growth in the area is different. The removal of hair may or may not be effective due to PCOS. Of course, with anything it is always best to seek an in office consultation with a reputable physician in your local area for the hair removal. Best of luck!

Thank you for your questions and we understand your concerns. 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.  You need to shave in between treatments.  If your hair grows as fast as you report, we would probably start off treating you ever 2 weeks.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. Many providers will give you special pricing for folks with a hormone imbalance.  Best of luck.
