Laser Hair Removal and PCOS

| A Comprehensive Guide

At Sparkle Lifestyle MediSpa in Moncton, we specialize in advanced laser hair removal using the medical-grade Gentle Max Pro system, specifically tailored for women dealing with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).

Understanding PCOS and Hair Removal Needs

PCOS often leads to excessive hair growth due to hormonal imbalances. Managing this with laser hair removal requires a more robust and targeted approach to effectively reduce hair growth.

Tailored Laser Sessions for PCOS

  • Body Treatment: Typically, 10-12 sessions with our Gentle Max Pro laser are recommended for significant hair reduction.
  • Facial Hair: More than 12 sessions may be necessary due to the denser hair growth associated with PCOS.

Our use of medical-grade Alexandrite and ND Yag lasers ensures superior results compared to IPL treatments, which often require more sessions and may not achieve permanent hair reduction.


Maintenance and Long-Term Care

Post-treatment hair regrowth can vary based on hormonal levels, age, and other factors. Regular maintenance sessions are crucial:

  • Routine Follow-ups: Generally recommended every 6 months to manage any new hair growth efficiently.
  • Custom Scheduling: Adjustments may be necessary depending on individual response to treatment and any medications being used.

Regular maintenance is essential, even for those not on medication, to effectively manage the persistent hair growth typical of PCOS.


Why Choose Our Gentle Max Pro Laser Treatment?

Our Gentle Max Pro system provides numerous advantages over other hair removal methods:

  • Safety and Efficiency: Our treatments are faster and safer, requiring fewer sessions due to the effectiveness of the laser technology.
  • Superior Results Compared to IPL and Diode Systems: While IPL treatments may slow hair growth, they often fail to eliminate hair follicles permanently. Diode treatments, though less painful than IPL, still require more sessions than our Gentle Max Pro system.

Expected Results with Gentle Max Pro

Clients typically experience a 75 to 95% reduction in hair growth after just 4 to 8 sessions, a stark contrast to the 10 to 15 sessions often necessary with traditional IPL systems.

  • Individual Variability: Results can differ based on skin type, hair color, thickness, and adherence to recommended session intervals.
