Are You Suffering From Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS, is the most common female hormonal disorder and can result in unwanted hair growth.

The main features of PCOS can include:
Skin and hair problems
  • Oily skin and acne
  • Increased facial and body hair (hirsutism)
  • Thinning scalp hair
  • Darkened, velvety skin on the neck, underarms, inner thighs, under breasts
Menstrual cycle changes
  • Irregular or none
  • Infertility, due to hormonal changes within the ovary
Difficulty controlling weight
  • Extra weight tends to be on torso, with legs remaining slim
  • “Standard” diets usually ineffective
Metabolism changes
  • Principally insulin resistance and unfavorable cholesterol changes
  • Elevated blood pressure is common
  • All are risk factors for later heart disease
At Champion Laser, we encounter many women who suffer from PCOS, and have helped them by reducing or eliminating the unwanted hair through laser hair removal and/or electrolysis
