I’ve been getting testosteron injections almost since 2010 and it is going to be almost life time treatment. I become hairy since then; what bothers me is the hair on my back and shoulder and upper arm, and I’m thinking to do laser for hair removal. Do you think it’s going to work ? Or getting the injections will make the laser treatment not beneficial.

Answer: Hormone Imbalance, PCOS, Hirsutism & Other Hair Growth 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. Home use devices just don't compare. 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. Many providers will give you special pricing for folks with a hormone imbalance. Best of luck.

Answer: Laser hair removal with testosterone injections Thank you for your question. Testosterone is an androgen and does promote hair growth on the face and body. It is fine to do laser hair removal while getting testosterone injections. Once completing a series of 5-10 laser treatments, you may need 1 to 3 maintenance treatments per year since the presence of testosterone may stimulate the fine villus hair follicles to convert to coarser, thicker hair follicles.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
