Permanent Hair Removal for PCOS: How Electrolysis Can Help
If you are looking for permanent hair removal for PCOS-related hair growth, electrolysis is worth considering. Electrolysis for PCOS hair removal is an established method that works regardless of hair colour or skin tone. Many women with PCOS struggle with unwanted facial and body hair. Waxing, threading and shaving provide only temporary relief. The hair returns — often coarser and more persistent than before. There is a reason for this. And there is a permanent solution.
At Aesthetic Cellology, Nadine at 118 Baker Street, London has spent over 25 years helping women with PCOS achieve permanent results. We use advanced electrolysis — a method recognised for permanent hair removal that works on all hair colours and all skin types.
Why Laser Can Be Less Effective for PCOS Hair Removal — and Why Electrolysis Succeeds
Laser hair removal targets pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. A pulse of energy damages the follicle and inhibits regrowth. This works well for dark hair on light skin. For women with PCOS, however, laser has two critical limitations.
Laser is less effective on blonde, grey, red or white hair. Many women with PCOS develop fine, light-coloured facial hair that laser simply cannot address. This is the first limitation.
The second limitation is more significant. New hair appears weeks or months later. Women with PCOS find laser delivers only temporary improvement — not the permanent results they were promised.
Why Electrolysis Suits PCOS Hair Removal
Electrolysis works differently to laser. A fine sterile probe inserts directly into each individual hair follicle. A controlled electrical current destroys the follicle root permanently. Hair colour and skin tone do not limit results.
Electrolysis for PCOS hair removal is widely recognised as a permanent method of hair removal. The treatment does not rely on pigment. It does not depend on the follicle being dormant. It physically destroys the follicle root — permanently.
For women with PCOS, this distinction matters enormously. Each treated follicle will never regrow. New hairs may still grow from other follicles. The treated ones, however, are gone permanently. Over a course of treatment, the total number of active follicles progressively reduces.
What to Expect from Electrolysis for PCOS at Aesthetic Cellology
Every electrolysis programme at our Baker Street clinic begins with a comprehensive consultation. Nadine, with over 25 years of experience, assesses your hair growth pattern and skin type. She then designs a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific goals.
Common treatment areas for PCOS clients include the chin, jawline, upper lip, sideburns, neck and abdomen. Sessions range from 15 minutes to 60 minutes. Extended sessions of up to 8 hours are available for larger areas.
Results are progressive and permanent. Each session reduces the number of active follicles in the treatment area. Most clients see significant visible reduction within their first course of treatment.
How Many Sessions Will I Need for PCOS Hair Removal?
Several factors determine the number of sessions required. These include the size of the treatment area, hair density and hair growth cycle. With PCOS, new hairs can keep appearing over time. A longer course is often needed. The results, however, are equally permanent.
At your consultation, Nadine provides a realistic assessment of the sessions required for your situation. We never recommend more sessions than your skin genuinely needs.
Is Electrolysis Safe for All Skin Tones?
Yes. Electrolysis is safe and effective for all skin types — from Type I (fair) to Type VI (very dark). The treatment targets the follicle directly rather than relying on pigment contrast. Skin tone has no bearing on the efficacy or safety of the treatment. Laser, by contrast, carries risks for darker skin tones.
