I have PCOS. I've done laser hair removal for almost 2 years on my lower cheeks, upper cheeks, side burns, chin, lower lip, upper lip and high neck line. My facial hair is almost completely gone. My upper lip hair is completely gone. I just have a couple more sessions 3 months apart. If you have PCOS and have facial hair, GO GET LASER HAIR REMOVAL! It's great that I don't have bumps on my face and can leave the house without makeup!
GIRL!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story! I have suffered from PCOS for years without coming out about my struggles with it to many people. I am very self conscious and just like you, have heard so many girls have reverse results saying that the hair gets worse. At this point though, I am willing to try anything! I try to avoid even talking to my husband about the issues and as much as I wish he was completely blind to my struggles, I know he can tell, but is kind and doesn't say anything. I hope this works long term for you babe and I am so so happy for you!
Katie Tharp thank you so much for sharing your story hunny! I have noticed my hair grow back slightly, but it’s definitely much lighter and doesn’t grow back as fast!
Girl I'm glad you got it taken care of when you did. Mine started around 15 as just a small patch under my chin. I just shaved it because there was no way my mom was going to pay for anything more than a razer. I was diagnosed with PCOS and Hirsutism at 18. The hair growth got worse over the years. I'm 35 now and finally getting laser hair removal starting Tuesday. The hair growth over 20 years is BAD. So bad I can grow a better beard than my partner and you can imagine what that's done for my self esteem. Thankfully my partner has never made me feel unattractive because of it but I feel unattractive to myself. I want to leave the house without having to shave my whole face everyday, and it's EVERYday. So happy for you and I hope I have wonderful results too! Love from Canada!
@@pewpewjuju1278 hi!! My hair has come back but it’s been what like 3-4 years?? It hasn’t come back as thick or as fast. I still think it was the best investment!
@@Natalieinthecity thanks! god I’m so glad to hear that! My chin hair down to my neck whether I pluck/shave/wax is back and swoler than ever within a few hours the same day 😭
I also have PCOS and laser hair removal worked for me! I had super coarse black hair growing on my upper lip and chin that was out of control. I was told that with PCOS, hair removal is not as successful, but I did it anyway. After about 5 sessions of laser, I saw about 85% reduction in hair growth. Most of the hair was gone and my skin healed because the hair was no longer pulling up at the epidermis which caused thickness and raised red bumps on my face. All gone!!!!! I still grow some hair in the most stubborn spots (for me, it's the jawline), but I can deal with it. Life changing for me :)
I have been debating on trying this as it is a pain to remove hairs from your chin every other day. Thank you so much for sharing this video! I just found your channel and subscribed.
I got my first treatment today!!! It did burn some but nothing out of this world. the lady asked if im ok , i took a deep breath then she kept going. i was scared of the pain too, so i tried my upper lip. FYI you can smell hair burning too! when im done with my upper lip i will do my under arms. it can be expensive to do both at a time so im doing one at a time. but i recommend it for someone who's interested, ive always wanted do it, and im glad im finally doing it😁👍🏽
I did it back in 2012-2013...its all back and then some! So disappointed. I'm looking at doing it again because it did stay away for awhile. If you go for the initial 6 treatments then about once a year for maintenance it should stay away. I just didn't 'maintain' so I'm looking into starting again.
@Lotus Eyes it is definitely back and more spread out then before. They call it "permanent hair reduction" so they can say they never promised it'd never come back just that they reduced it. My results may not be typical but yeah, I shave every morning before work, makes me cringe that I blew $740 on 6 treatments that accomplished absolutely nothing. BUT I'm willing to go again and keep up with the yearly visits so I can at least feel feminine again.
I have PCOS, I've done laser hair removal for almost 1 year on my upper lip and chin and I recommend it to everyone who have the same problem. At first I thought it so weird that I have hair growing on my upper lip and chin and I research it that I have all the symptoms of PCOS.
I have PCOS & have a full blown beard. I got laser hair removal on my entire body. Went for a whole 2 years. It worked extremely well on my legs but not my face. It literally did nothing for my face & that was the most painful area. It HURT. Especially right under the nose. I’m going back to try my face again. But it really did hurt a lot for me which is what causes me to avoid trying it again. I would cry every session. The higher the setting, the more painful it is. I’m surprised it didn’t hurt for you. But glad it worked. PCOS sucks. I’m 29 now and had it since I was 14. My face is my biggest insecurity bc of how much hair I get. If I didn’t shave/wax I could grow it out like a grown man. It SUCKS. 😢 it also sucks that insurance doesn’t cover atleast partial of the treatments for females suffering from PCOS. It’s a literal medical condition. 😔
I had pcos and im cured after loosing 60 kilogramm, and keeping my diet up, nomore cyst, all hormones are in order again. BUT my hair didn't go back my doc said it is because the hair is already sitting strong on its place it doesn't even have much to do with testerstorone, my testerstorone was always normal even when i was in my pcos periode. I was so sad with my hair and tired of hours of shaving, i started laser treatment because ipl never worked. After the 1st time it got a bit bad and shaving was bad for my skin, after 4 times i have 6 hairs left in my face 🙏🏼 before i had them from my eyebrows all over my cheeks, on my nose lips the whole neck my breast and decoltee. I can really recommend laser therapy to all hirsutism girls ❤️🙏🏼 mostly now when you are wearing masks because ppls will never notice😘
Thank you for sharing! I do not have PCOS but I have higher testosterone levels. I stopped birth control and my chin hair is out of control. Ive been using a home treatment for about 3 months and don't see results other than one spot. I'm about an hour from Chicago so I am reaching out to Spaderma asap! ♥️
Thanks for sharing your experience. I got hirsutism because of PCOS and its so tiring 😔 i already considered getting laser hair removal aswell but my worst fear is that the hair will grow back. They always say its permanent but it says, that if you have a hormonal imbalace there is no guarante and its very expensive... I dont want it to be wasted but im so desperate
I have pcos too and have been doing laser for like 5 years. I had never shaved my face before and they told me to shave the entire area coz otherwise I would get burns. I did and now the hair on my chin is like a full male beard and the hair hasn't thinned out or decreased. In fact it got worse with every session coz I had to shave. My neck hair is getting worse too coz I shaved my baby hair. Mind you, these treatments were done by a proper dermatologist with a fellowship in the UK but she warned me in advance that laser does not work on pcos. Plus a while ago it burnt my lip and now I have a burn mark on the side of my lip and it looks like a pink fleshy burn mark. Anyways, for anyone who hasn't shaved before make sure that u only ask them to laser places that have thick hair and not baby hair. It works only on small baby hairs and that too if u don't have pcos. Mind u, I don't eat sugar containing foods, exercise and is skinny. So I'm doing everything that I need to do to help with my pcos and my facial hair is getting worse. I have to shave in the morning and night daily now compared to tweezing every three days. I now have to keep going coz there is no way I can tweeze these areas that well and it is like a full beard now. I just hope I can see at least a bit of change or it going back to how it used to be. Now on my 15th session. No hope. Also I take metformin and spironolactone high doses.
Hi I am sorry to hear this. Have you checked your hormones? You need to visit an endocrinologist for that. Many things can contribute in such a scenario. What I have personally experienced and have seen many like us go through is stress, over a long period of time it can worsen hirsutism. Also, I am not sure exactly where but I have read on a few pages that over excercise can cause stress. PCOS is complex and can be a little different for everyone. It is the hormonal imbalance that brings us so many problems. These hormones also act up during pregnancy and menopause. Stress is an obvious reaction in your situation. I am no one to give you a sound solution. But I think talking with an endocrinologist can help. Along with stress management. PCOS wrecks our mental health too. You can see a therapist in that case. Stigma aside, mental health is equally important. Hope things get better for you. ❤ @centigradz
Thanks for sharing I'm gonna have my first treatment soon and I'm a bit anxious. I have had so many questions for the lady when we did the consultation. She did tell me I may need yearly maintenance for my face with the pcos. One thing I'd like to add for people if you have autoimmune issues you may need to get a medical clearance as you can have an immune response to the lazer. Always make sure you disclose any health issues to be safe if you're getting it done.
My wife has a appt. Thursday for hair removal.. I'm excited for her. She don't normally do thing for herself. Think I'm more excited then she is.. not that's its thick but she has always been self conscious about it.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO IT WAS INSPIRING! YOU rocked IT ! i have been planning this for years. Im sitting at home looking up niches I thought what if I went through with the laser hair removal would I stand out from the rest, like would my face looked burned .So as i was browsing i happened to come across yours and i appreciate your real life experience I have rapid hair growth that makes me insecure Im going to try it. it looks like you feel like a million bucks thanks for giving our generation hope. Im sure your story will touch many lives, Thanks for sharing your story with us !
This video is very helpful as I have also been diagnosed with pcos! Not only does it affect me with facial hair but also infertility. It sucks but I have been looking into getting laser hair removal. Never done it before so thank you for sharing your story. My issue is I get a lot of ingrown hair under my chin and sideburns. I am hoping this will help decrease the growth.
Girl I am in same boat as you and I am finally starting my lazer session from friday(08/12). I am very nervous and have many questions if it will work at all. I heard that hair comes back in different spots and am scared. and ur video and comments section gave me new hope. Will update u guys about my results after couple of sessions
I have my first appointment today in like 3 hours. I’m very scared given that I heard it can grow back thicker and fuller. But I’ll try anything at this point. The coarseness has improved the past few months with the help of supplements. I’m definitely going to keep finding ways to improve my diet and getting blood work done to help whatever is causing this. Good luck ladies! Remember you’re beautiful and good luck on your journey ❤️✨
Ahh this video helped me prepare super cool! Im undergoing my chin and lip laser today and I also have an iud I wonder if it does something to our hormones 🤔
sarah pfft lol!! Well it used to get really bad for me!! I didn’t have a full beard, but people could definitely notice. But my mustache on the other hand.... now that is full LOL
I’m so happy for you 🤍 I been doing ipl at home and I can’t wait to see results ... if after this treatements I still don’t see enough results then I will deff do it at a clinic the problem is that it’s too expensive and my confidence is way to low because of it 😞 some days I don’t even feel like leaving the house ...
Hi . I had my consultation and then did my first treatment today... It's like a tiny bee sting feeling.. I'm not sure if that makes sense..did my chin and on the areas where hair was thicker , it hurt a lil more but not painful .. have u started yet ?
I got laser on my face without the cream.. because the lady told me I gonna get better results.. from my experiences , I could say, the upper lip hurts the most then the rest of my face. But at the end the pain was worth it . I love my results
So with PCOS is not only the laser that will help, also our diet affects a lot, and you could probably need treatment and testosterone blockers. But laser is a great confidence booster!! Definitely recommend it.
I am so scared about the side effects like swelling and redness/inflammation. But seeing you be fine I’m going to try it. Hopefully everything turns out fine.
@@Natalieinthecity Thanks for the response! So do they recommend going back for more treatments? Also, I've been eyeing Ideal Image for a PCOS consult, how much is an average treatment, not visit. So hard to know if I'm getting a fair price.
@@ColiePoo I am also looking into Ideal Image too, but here in Nashville. I still haven't been able to make my decision on which company to go with. I do REALLY like that ideal offers a lifetime warranty and for women with PCOS, that seems GREAT because a few years down the road after treatments, you dont have to pay full price for the treatments...
Madison Penrose I’ve been doing more research on Ideal Image, and the lifetime warrenty is an additional cost ontop of the treatment package, and then offers a 90% discount on the needed maintenance. Also, they have been calling, emailing and texting me for 2 solid weeks asking me to come in for a consultation. Does that seem a bit suspicious?
I have just considered laser and I was in two minds as I've heard mixed reviews, I have Pcos and really bad facial hair so I really don't know if it will work for me
Try it! It worked for me. Even if it's not permanent, I don't care; I'll go back and do it again. My face doesn't look like a man's face anymore because of laser.
Tracy Bruce some people’s hair grow grows back longer. Do laser on parts of your body and see if the length grows back to be longer than original. Don’t do it on your face
I am so scared to shave my chin. I am also scared to invest money into something that won’t work. I generally have to pluck every other day. I have had esthetician’s tell me they have never seen a woman with so much facial hair 😕 I don’t ever let it grow in and it’s probably about 100 hairs. I also have pcos. I waxed for about a year and had to wax every two weeks. I did notice thinner regrowth. I guess I’m just looking for someone to give me a push!
Yes waxing was wonderful. It didn’t go away... it just was a lot less coarse. The hardest part was growing it out for the initial wax. Immediately it grew in thinner. But I still was going every 8ish days for a wax. I have gone back to plucking , I had a child and finding time to go became an issue for me. But I did enjoy waxing
Guys i may have to do this lazer hair removal. Reason being I've started to get hair under my chin since in 2007 and from since then i have been plucking with tweasers and from since then i mess up the bottom of my chin that is it is very dark and it looks like baird. Im so ashamed of letting people see it. When i say dark it black. So i really have to do it and i pray that when i do the LHR that it wouldn't grow back so i can try to get rid of the black mark
Thanks for sharing, I have been thinking of doing this. I’m 99.9% positive that I have PCOS, once concern I have since I am tanned skinned (Latina) I’ve heard that it’s not recommended because of my skin color. That it’s more effective for fair skin. You’re in Chicago?! I live in Old Town. Going to follow you on Ig.
Of the 6 treatments I had only one time did I have a reaction of tiny bumps like acne...other than that just some redness for about 45 min. I do not have sensitive skin, if you do you may have different reactions.
Did you buy a package or are you paying per visit? I bought a package for 6 or 8 visits (can't recall exactly rn) for a lot. I'll have 4 treatments beginning of Oct. I don't see results but could be due to having very dark, thick, coarse lip & chin hair plus everywhere in between too, but I digress. They only do the front of the chin & not underneath. They told me it'll be a few hundred extra if I want the whole neck done. But, hello??? My chin & lip don't run into each other in a straight line. The anatomy of the chin includes underneath it as well unless it's been taken out text books like they once threw out Pluto as a planet when I was young. Messed up classmates & me after years of learning it is a planet. I need answers. Is this happening again? Is history repeating itself but this time it's regarding anatomy instead? Has underneath the chin been excluded from being part of us now? We all just have extremely long necks now? We're in mid pandemic & most ppl don't have money to go out & make it rain on these hoes right now. I told them 3xs I'm not receiving the correct amount of service that I paid for. I coulda paid for my O-Shot instead & kept threading & deplitory creams. Any suggestions on how & whom I should contact to make sure I get my money's worth? I don't wanna give them a bad review but I'm about 4 sessions through already & I don't want to add on more trips. I'm going blind so my license has been taken away. I depend on car services like uber, lyft & Waymo (an autonomous car) that all cost money & it adds up. Waymos cheapest but the car only goes certain places but it's fun. I feel like I'm part of what will be an historic event. Anywho, if you see this Plz throw me a quick answer when you're able. Thanks.
I have PCOS and I remember how l felt when the doctor toid me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies God blessed me with use of herbs!
Thank you for great video. Have you paid 250 as total amount or for each session? Its very expensive in Europe. They asking 80e and u need to do it 8 times.
So is it approximately $250 per session or in total? Because if its in total that almost sounds too good to be true! But per session and needing 6 treatments is $1,500 total so a bit of a yikes moment.
So with the hair that came out the first time do the laser treatment did y’all just pull them out afterwards or do they end up falling out ? How does that work ? Btw your video was very helpful !!
I wouldn’t recommend this for anybody who suffers from PCOS the hair is going to grow back I’ve had it waste of money ! When I changed my diet the hair growth slowed down
I’ve had 3 treatments so far on my full face. I found the first treatment the most uncomfortable. Did you find that the hair follicle look darker the next day like it’s swollen the hair follicle. I find after each treatment my face looks better about a week after
I have PCOS I took 8 sitting from a cheap dermatologist. It rather made my growth fully bearded.. I changed my dermatologist.. I am having better results but my skin it he's and get red alot.. how to take care of my skin?
I am putting this on my Christmas list. I am 65 and have been plucking for 20 years, how much hair can a person have. Anyway, thanks. I hope since I have already gone through menopause, I won't need 6 treatments.
I have ivory white skin and have thick dark brown to black hair only on my bottom chin.....so far after 6 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart and I've had zero results. I've done nearly a year of electrolysis before that....also really no results. My body will not stop growing this hair. My med spa uses the Soprano Ice laser, which is supposed to work....well, not for me!
You need to have your hormones balanced for that. Visit an endocrinologist.Androgens affect our hair growth. The reason why it comes back is because the hormones are imbalanced. Natalie also mentions in her second video, which she uploaded a year later after this one that her hair grew back. It will, since with Pcos, the hormones will always be on the unstable side. But she mentions in the comment section under this video that the hair growth is much slower and thinner.Many women say it is closer to peach fuzz than the typical hirsutism induced thick, stubble like hair. The latter causes ingrown hair and hyperpigmentation. Peach fuzz is much better. The goal is to make hormone imbalance minimal cause pcos is chronic.
I did this after a year it started to come back, I have pcos. After three years it's like I just paid for no reason! You got a great price I did it about 5yrs ago and paid 3k for three areas. But not going to lie almost a year with no hair on my face was awesome. On my legs it did take about two years and now its alot thinner then it used to be. They told me the same thing that it works on women with pcos but honestly they just want your money!
I have severe pcos. Im on treatment 15 !!! I have to go ever 6 weeks but its at the point where I no longer need to shave. But if I stop the laser it comes right back. My treatments hurt a lot but that's because of the amount of hair I get. The lighter the hair the less pain. I definitely recommend it though.
How about maintaining hair in between sessions? I get growth back after my first laser hair removal session. Can i use trimmer on those? These are dark coarse visible hair on face , i too have pcod and have been taking normoz for that
Unpredictable Me so I am shaving the regrowth. My esthetician told me that plucking isn’t good for your skin/hair. But she never told me not to wax or pluck after my treatments were over.

It didn’t grow back darker? Ppl say it goes darker so I’m scared
U are using diode laser or IPL?
@@phuongmai94 Actually it's supposed to grow back lighter. And thinner. Which is what happened with me.
They told me I have pcos as well so I need to try it

Hi
I am sorry to hear this. Have you checked your hormones? You need to visit an endocrinologist for that. Many things can contribute in such a scenario. What I have personally experienced and have seen many like us go through is stress, over a long period of time it can worsen hirsutism.
Also, I am not sure exactly where but I have read on a few pages that over excercise can cause stress.
PCOS is complex and can be a little different for everyone. It is the hormonal imbalance that brings us so many problems.
These hormones also act up during pregnancy and menopause.
Stress is an obvious reaction in your situation. I am no one to give you a sound solution. But I think talking with an endocrinologist can help. Along with stress management. PCOS wrecks our mental health too. You can see a therapist in that case. Stigma aside, mental health is equally important.
Hope things get better for you. ❤
@centigradz
Thanks for sharing I'm gonna have my first treatment soon and I'm a bit anxious. I have had so many questions for the lady when we did the consultation. She did tell me I may need yearly maintenance for my face with the pcos.
One thing I'd like to add for people if you have autoimmune issues you may need to get a medical clearance as you can have an immune response to the lazer. Always make sure you disclose any health issues to be safe if you're getting it done.
My wife has a appt. Thursday for hair removal.. I'm excited for her. She don't normally do thing for herself. Think I'm more excited then she is.. not that's its thick but she has always been self conscious about it.
Thank you for being such a supportive husband 👍🏼👍🏼
That made me feel much better regarding getting laser removal. Thank you ♥️. Did they tell you to get some future sessions to maintain the results?
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO IT WAS INSPIRING! YOU rocked IT !
i have been planning this for years. Im sitting at home looking up niches I thought what if I went through with the laser hair removal would I stand out from the rest, like would my face looked burned .So as i was browsing i happened to come across yours and i appreciate your real life experience I have rapid hair growth that makes me insecure Im going to try it. it looks like you feel like a million bucks thanks for giving our generation hope. Im sure your story will touch many lives, Thanks for sharing your story with us !
Jessica Pierce 💗💗💗💗💗
Well done I enjoyed watching
Thank you!!
This video is very helpful as I have also been diagnosed with pcos! Not only does it affect me with facial hair but also infertility. It sucks but I have been looking into getting laser hair removal. Never done it before so thank you for sharing your story. My issue is I get a lot of ingrown hair under my chin and sideburns. I am hoping this will help decrease the growth.
Jeni of course!!!
Girl I am in same boat as you and I am finally starting my lazer session from friday(08/12). I am very nervous and have many questions if it will work at all. I heard that hair comes back in different spots and am scared. and ur video and comments section gave me new hope. Will update u guys about my results after couple of sessions
Hi ! I’m starting laser soon can you update me on your journey I’m kinda scared and nervous
Checking up to see if you are satisfied with your results
carrie louise yes! 6 months later and still happy!
@@Natalieinthecity how much did it pay to get it done in all?
you're so beautiful! and i suffer from PCOS too and just had my first treatment and OMG im just sad i didn't do it sooner.
Ana Adventures I’m so happy it’s working for you!!!!
I grow chin hairs and I've finally decided to get laser treatment for it. My first appointment is monday October 14, 2024 im excited
Omg spa Derma Chicago. Girl I live in Chicago. Just applied there too lol. Actually just got my first ever laser treatment yesterday
I have my first appointment today in like 3 hours. I’m very scared given that I heard it can grow back thicker and fuller. But I’ll try anything at this point. The coarseness has improved the past few months with the help of supplements. I’m definitely going to keep finding ways to improve my diet and getting blood work done to help whatever is causing this. Good luck ladies! Remember you’re beautiful and good luck on your journey ❤️✨
Ahh this video helped me prepare super cool! Im undergoing my chin and lip laser today and I also have an iud I wonder if it does something to our hormones 🤔
The DLC Family I think the IUD is virtually hormone free! Good luck!!!
You’re so pretty!
Ok i have a full beard. I just saw your five hairs and rolled my eyes lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
sarah pfft lol!! Well it used to get really bad for me!! I didn’t have a full beard, but people could definitely notice. But my mustache on the other hand.... now that is full LOL
I’m so happy for you 🤍 I been doing ipl at home and I can’t wait to see results ... if after this treatements I still don’t see enough results then I will deff do it at a clinic the problem is that it’s too expensive and my confidence is way to low because of it 😞 some days I don’t even feel like leaving the house ...
I have PCOS as well. I have a consultation on Wednesday for laser hair removal. Does it hurt?
Hi . I had my consultation and then did my first treatment today... It's like a tiny bee sting feeling.. I'm not sure if that makes sense..did my chin and on the areas where hair was thicker , it hurt a lil more but not painful .. have u started yet ?
I just had my first session this week and I’m looking for advice on how to handle this process… thanx people for your advice
This is very helpful who diagnosed the..PCOS... to know we’re to go
Luz Olivo my daughters gyno did blood work and told her
I got laser on my face without the cream.. because the lady told me I gonna get better results.. from my experiences , I could say, the upper lip hurts the most then the rest of my face. But at the end the pain was worth it . I love my results
A question, do I have to shave my facial hair before the laser?
So with PCOS is not only the laser that will help, also our diet affects a lot, and you could probably need treatment and testosterone blockers. But laser is a great confidence booster!! Definitely recommend it.
Monica Sand yes totally!
I did a keto diet and honestly that worked better than lazer hair removal for sure!
I am so scared about the side effects like swelling and redness/inflammation. But seeing you be fine I’m going to try it. Hopefully everything turns out fine.
Good luck. It was one of the best things I've ever done!
I’m at the point where I have to shave everyday and I’m currently looking at getting laser hair removal I have pcos also
I highly recommend it!!!
I had 3 sessions but still can't see any results 😢
So how are things going now, a few months after treatments?
Hi love! Thanks for checking in! I have noticed that my hair is growing back slightly, but it’s definitely much lighter and doesn’t grow back as fast!
@@Natalieinthecity Thanks for the response! So do they recommend going back for more treatments? Also, I've been eyeing Ideal Image for a PCOS consult, how much is an average treatment, not visit. So hard to know if I'm getting a fair price.
CeramicHeart hi love! I’m not sure what you mean by “treatment vs visit.” Six treatments costs $299 at SpaDerma.
@@ColiePoo I am also looking into Ideal Image too, but here in Nashville. I still haven't been able to make my decision on which company to go with. I do REALLY like that ideal offers a lifetime warranty and for women with PCOS, that seems GREAT because a few years down the road after treatments, you dont have to pay full price for the treatments...
Madison Penrose I’ve been doing more research on Ideal Image, and the lifetime warrenty is an additional cost ontop of the treatment package, and then offers a 90% discount on the needed maintenance. Also, they have been calling, emailing and texting me for 2 solid weeks asking me to come in for a consultation. Does that seem a bit suspicious?
I have just considered laser and I was in two minds as I've heard mixed reviews, I have Pcos and really bad facial hair so I really don't know if it will work for me
Tracy Bruce my hair has started to grow back, but it’s much lighter in thickness and grows back a lot slower!
I have about when their hair grows back longer with ppl with pcos
Try it! It worked for me. Even if it's not permanent, I don't care; I'll go back and do it again. My face doesn't look like a man's face anymore because of laser.
Tracy Bruce some people’s hair grow grows back longer. Do laser on parts of your body and see if the length grows back to be longer than original. Don’t do it on your face
I am so scared to shave my chin. I am also scared to invest money into something that won’t work. I generally have to pluck every other day. I have had esthetician’s tell me they have never seen a woman with so much facial hair 😕
I don’t ever let it grow in and it’s probably about 100 hairs.
I also have pcos.
I waxed for about a year and had to wax every two weeks. I did notice thinner regrowth.
I guess I’m just looking for someone to give me a push!
Plucking stimulates the hair Follicle makes it grow faster
Danielle Leclerc it’s been six months since I completed treatment and the hair does grow back but not as often and it’s thinner and lighter!
In your opinion does waxing work for you? I’m scared to wax my chin . Scared it’ll grow thicker .. idk😣
Yes waxing was wonderful.
It didn’t go away... it just was a lot less coarse. The hardest part was growing it out for the initial wax. Immediately it grew in thinner. But I still was going every 8ish days for a wax. I have gone back to plucking , I had a child and finding time to go became an issue for me.
But I did enjoy waxing
Guys i may have to do this lazer hair removal. Reason being I've started to get hair under my chin since in 2007 and from since then i have been plucking with tweasers and from since then i mess up the bottom of my chin that is it is very dark and it looks like baird. Im so ashamed of letting people see it. When i say dark it black. So i really have to do it and i pray that when i do the LHR that it wouldn't grow back so i can try to get rid of the black mark
I have same issue
Girl i know how it goes also i uses lots of makeup to cover up.
Thanks for sharing, I have been thinking of doing this. I’m 99.9% positive that I have PCOS, once concern I have since I am tanned skinned (Latina) I’ve heard that it’s not recommended because of my skin color. That it’s more effective for fair skin. You’re in Chicago?! I live in Old Town. Going to follow you on Ig.
omg yay!! I have heard that as well. The best way to know for sure is to consult an esthetician!
Tell me how the technician wasn’t wearing goggles!!!! My eyes hurt haha
Thanks for the vid!!!
How did your skin react after each treatment. I have quite sensitive skin and am worried about my top lip scabbing.
e 90 I didn’t have scabbing but it was just a little read after for a couple of hours!
did you feel like your Skin break out or not really
Tatiana Sutton no not really. My skin was a little red after but other than that, no!
Of the 6 treatments I had only one time did I have a reaction of tiny bumps like acne...other than that just some redness for about 45 min. I do not have sensitive skin, if you do you may have different reactions.
Im.pcoc patient plzzz he lp me how i remove my chin hair😭😭😭😭
Iv got PCOS am thinking of this, do you definitely reccomend it? ❤️
#Drisibor alternative Herbal cleanser helped remove my daughter facial hair and cure pcos
Did you buy a package or are you paying per visit? I bought a package for 6 or 8 visits (can't recall exactly rn) for a lot. I'll have 4 treatments beginning of Oct. I don't see results but could be due to having very dark, thick, coarse lip & chin hair plus everywhere in between too, but I digress. They only do the front of the chin & not underneath. They told me it'll be a few hundred extra if I want the whole neck done. But, hello??? My chin & lip don't run into each other in a straight line. The anatomy of the chin includes underneath it as well unless it's been taken out text books like they once threw out Pluto as a planet when I was young. Messed up classmates & me after years of learning it is a planet. I need answers. Is this happening again? Is history repeating itself but this time it's regarding anatomy instead? Has underneath the chin been excluded from being part of us now? We all just have extremely long necks now? We're in mid pandemic & most ppl don't have money to go out & make it rain on these hoes right now. I told them 3xs I'm not receiving the correct amount of service that I paid for. I coulda paid for my O-Shot instead & kept threading & deplitory creams. Any suggestions on how & whom I should contact to make sure I get my money's worth? I don't wanna give them a bad review but I'm about 4 sessions through already & I don't want to add on more trips. I'm going blind so my license has been taken away. I depend on car services like uber, lyft & Waymo (an autonomous car) that all cost money & it adds up. Waymos cheapest but the car only goes certain places but it's fun. I feel like I'm part of what will be an historic event. Anywho, if you see this Plz throw me a quick answer when you're able. Thanks.
I bought a package deal. It usually runs around $300 for 6 sessions!
I have PCOS and I remember how l felt when the doctor toid me it would be hard for me to conceive I now have 4 children very successful pregnancies God blessed me with use of herbs!
I’m so happy for you!!!
How does one get diagnosed with PCOS? Go to a gynecologist?
Hi Maria!! I was first diagnosed by my gynecologist and then I was referred to an endocrinologist (hormone doctor) who confirmed the disgnosis!
When they say maintenance, does it mean you have to take 6 to 7 sittings again or just 1 sitting in a year and you are done?
Sneha Gupta it depends on how often your hair is growing back
Thank you
Thank you for great video. Have you paid 250 as total amount or for each session? Its very expensive in Europe. They asking 80e and u need to do it 8 times.
I have hair only on my chin. Is it normal that she lazered the neck as well even though I don’t have hair there. I’m so scared
D EY yeah I think so!
Hello!! Can yu plz update now! I mean did the hair come back thicker just like before ? After a year
Hi!! I filmed an update!
I get mine done this month! My question though is what about your hair? Do we leave it growing or do we need to shave it or pluck?
My esthetician recommended I shave them. Don’t pluck or wax
How many sessions did you do
I did six sessions!
Hi Amanda! I did six sessions.
So is it approximately $250 per session or in total? Because if its in total that almost sounds too good to be true! But per session and needing 6 treatments is $1,500 total so a bit of a yikes moment.
Total!
Brenda Munoz-Rigor yeah it was around $299 in total
So now that you've completed the treatment, how are the results lasting? Any maintenance?
MsMusicVideoLover I notice some of my hair has returned, but it’s very light and not often. I probably shave once a month!
Electrolysis on the upper lip is hell. Specially the lip line omg tears
sarah pfft yeah!! I have heard that from people!!
Yes, that area right underneath the nose was the worst! At least it's only for a few seconds.
So with the hair that came out the first time do the laser treatment did y’all just pull them out afterwards or do they end up falling out ? How does that work ? Btw your video was very helpful !!
Hi! The hair falls out naturally. In between sessions, I had to shave the area incase some hairs didn't fall out.
I wouldn’t recommend this for anybody who suffers from PCOS the hair is going to grow back I’ve had it waste of money ! When I changed my diet the hair growth slowed down
Was it painful for you, I left in pure tears.
A Henry it wasn’t that painful for me
Does this work?! I need this
Yes! It kept my hair away for years. It recently started to come back, but it grows so much slower and a lot less darker! still worth it.
I’ve had 3 treatments so far on my full face. I found the first treatment the most uncomfortable. Did you find that the hair follicle look darker the next day like it’s swollen the hair follicle. I find after each treatment my face looks better about a week after
Hiiii I’m interested in getting laser hair removal in the same areas as you. How long did you wait in between sessions?
Is it $250 each treatment or 250 for all six treatment see you did
Hi how are you doing now? How often had you had to go back, and when she was done with treatment did you see less hair?
I just filmed an update! my hair is back, not as thick, dark, or as much. but it has come back. I have not gone in for any touch ups.
Which fce wash and cream did you used while your treatment?
I have PCOS I took 8 sitting from a cheap dermatologist. It rather made my growth fully bearded.. I changed my dermatologist.. I am having better results but my skin it he's and get red alot.. how to take care of my skin?
Kasvi Dua nothing special... just my usual Clinique!
Does it grow back?
What is the cost of laze treatment
Im afraid it will grow more . i wax my upper lip and now I have mustache
Hi! I will say it does come back, but not as bad and it stays away for a few years!!!
was it $250 total? I always thought it was more expensive
It was only $250 total!
So the cost was $250 *6? I literally have about 6 hairs that I want gone. They all make me breakout though and the breakout is constant
ommg really 😭😭😭
Yes, $250 for all 6 treatments!
I am putting this on my Christmas list. I am 65 and have been plucking for 20 years, how much hair can a person have. Anyway, thanks. I hope since I have already gone through menopause, I won't need 6 treatments.
@Richard Jane hie can I have doc insbor Nmbr
I have ivory white skin and have thick dark brown to black hair only on my bottom chin.....so far after 6 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart and I've had zero results. I've done nearly a year of electrolysis before that....also really no results. My body will not stop growing this hair. My med spa uses the Soprano Ice laser, which is supposed to work....well, not for me!
You need to have your hormones balanced for that. Visit an endocrinologist.Androgens affect our hair growth. The reason why it comes back is because the hormones are imbalanced. Natalie also mentions in her second video, which she uploaded a year later after this one that her hair grew back. It will, since with Pcos, the hormones will always be on the unstable side. But she mentions in the comment section under this video that the hair growth is much slower and thinner.Many women say it is closer to peach fuzz than the typical hirsutism induced thick, stubble like hair. The latter causes ingrown hair and hyperpigmentation. Peach fuzz is much better.
The goal is to make hormone imbalance minimal cause pcos is chronic.
I did this after a year it started to come back, I have pcos. After three years it's like I just paid for no reason! You got a great price I did it about 5yrs ago and paid 3k for three areas. But not going to lie almost a year with no hair on my face was awesome. On my legs it did take about two years and now its alot thinner then it used to be. They told me the same thing that it works on women with pcos but honestly they just want your money!
LaGabby Lopez it’s been about a year since I stopped and my hair has grown back... but it’s not as frequent and it’s much much lighter.
@@Natalieinthecity how is it now? Did all the hair come back?
I have severe pcos. Im on treatment 15 !!! I have to go ever 6 weeks but its at the point where I no longer need to shave. But if I stop the laser it comes right back. My treatments hurt a lot but that's because of the amount of hair I get. The lighter the hair the less pain. I definitely recommend it though.
Anderson really?! Wow... I still haven’t noticed much grow back just yet.
@@Natalieinthecity really is they are coming as thicker as they were earlier
Did it feel like really cold air blowing on your face?
How was the healing process in between treatment? Like did you scar blister or have swelling and crusting?
Hi!! I just had some redness after the treatment for a couple of hours, but no permanent damage! :)
How about maintaining hair in between sessions? I get growth back after my first laser hair removal session. Can i use trimmer on those? These are dark coarse visible hair on face , i too have pcod and have been taking normoz for that
Unpredictable Me so I am shaving the regrowth. My esthetician told me that plucking isn’t good for your skin/hair. But she never told me not to wax or pluck after my treatments were over.
was it once a month you went?
Did you get the 6 sessions for that price or paid that price each session?
carrie louise I got six sessions for that total price!
Last question lol.Was that just their price or a deal price since you did this video?
carrie louise no that’s their price for a small area for six treatments!
Thank you so much for replying and I'm definitely going to go now!
do you get your mensuration cycle monthly?
HIBA ASIF yes!
Can birth control pill inhibit facial hair growth?
I think so!!! But something you should ask your doctor!!
hello...dear..plzz tell me my chin growth a very heavy growth
....i hv thyriod prblm also
..tell me plzz ...can i go for leaser or not..?
Manisha Singh hey their i also have pcos and thyroid as well try the kenzzi lazer it help me
Manisha Singh yes you can go, but the thing with thyroid or hormone problems is that the hair may come back.
Hello beautiful nice video I like it thanks
I have many hair in my face please reply me it's permanent or not your rply very important for me dear
It’s not 100% permanent. It doesn’t last forever, but it all depends on your hair.
Was it 250 per session?
250 for all 6 sessions
Did you do ipl or laser
Maddie Smith laser!
Hi I'm interested in doing laser hair removal for the same reasons and I wanted to know what is the price range for this procedure?
07cw23569 around $250-$300
Natalie in the City is it 250-300 a session or all together with 6 sessions
Does it grow back
Roro Zaxoyii yes. Mine has started to grow back, but it’s a lot lighter and the growth is much slower!
Is it good for the dark spots from the hair growth itself?
6 treatments for 250$
Or
250 per session
$250 for 6 sessions total!
After how many months the hair starts growing back? I have PCOS as well..and got hair under chin which is a night mare. So will it help?
Asma M My hair started growing back a year after I got my treatments completed. But the hair is not dark and it doesn’t grow back as fast or as much.
I would love To know which laser it was. Was it diode laser..seems so.Hope the esthetician told you xoxo
