Asked By:xNazx in Key West, FL

Hi, I have excess facial & body hair due to having PCOS...I went to a few high class clinics to ask for laser to get rid of the unwanted hair, but was sadly refused due to having keloids...I was told that they didn't want to risk me breaking out in keloids on my face, so refused to do it...what other options do I have? I currently get my face waxed every other day, and really tired of doing that...any advice would be of help x
