Women with PCOS produce higher than normal amounts of male hormones when in the reproductive age of mid teens to mid 40's. Of this age group 2.2-26.7% of women have PCOS, which is a lower number because many women have PCOS and don't know it. Issues that we can help treat that are caused by PCOS are: excessive facial hair, acne scarring, and ingrown hairs.

What are Laser Hair Treatments like?
Everyone’s treatment plan will be different depending on several factors such as hair color / type, body area, and skin tone. These factors are then used to determine how treatments will be administered to achieve your goals. We can treat anyone with our great GentleMax Pro Laser from Candela. Once the treatment begins, a laser is delivered through a small handheld device used by your practitioner. Once the laser light is directed at the skin, the targeted area then absorbs it, and converts it to heat, effectively killing the hair follicle.
Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?
Laser hair removal is not painful, you can feel a little discomfort but we also have numbing cream if needed. After you get laser hair removal, there is no pain. We use a specialized system to minimize any discomfort of the procedure. Micro bursts of cryogen are sprayed on the targeted area just milliseconds before the laser fires. This protects the surrounding cells thereby preventing much of the pain in the first place as well as minimizing post treatment redness.
