Is this considered hirsutism? (Photo)

Question

I have previously gotten laser done on my face which was 8 months ago in the Middle East. After a few months, I noticed SIMILAR hair growth. This time many claimed you don’t need laser but I still go through this issue of the same facial hair. I do have pcos. But fortunately, I was among the lucky ones to beat the symptoms 5 years back. So my test results have been normal so far. Age : 29

Hello, my name is Ranen and I am an aesthetic nurse at Aesthetic skin in Chicago. Thank you for sharing photo. I don't think this is Hirsutism, if it was it would be a lot more hair on the face. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at the office 312-944-0117

Thank you for your question. With PCOS, laser hair removal (LHR) should be a long-term part of your routine due to ongoing hormonal changes&mdash;not only from the condition itself but also from the natural aging process. My clients with PCOS typically undergo LHR on the face every 4 weeks for 9-12 sessions, followed by **maintenance treatments every 3-6 months**, depending on the progression of their PCOS. PCOS causes **complex, multi-system changes in the body**, which can be difficult to fully counteract. This is why consistent and long-term maintenance is necessary to manage hair growth effectively.
