Understanding Hormonal Hair Growth
Hormonal hair growth behaves differently from normal body hair. Increased levels of androgens or hormonal fluctuations can stimulate dormant follicles, resulting in thicker or faster-growing hair. This means that some clients may require more sessions than average and occasional maintenance treatments to maintain long-term results.
Common areas affected include:
- Chin
- Upper lip
- Jawline
- Neck
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Lower back
- Inner thighs

Does Laser Hair Removal Work with PCOS?
Yes.
Laser hair removal is highly effective for many clients with PCOS and other hormonal conditions. However, because hormones continue to influence hair follicles, more sessions and occasional top-up treatments may be needed compared with clients without hormonal conditions. Studies have shown that laser-assisted hair removal can significantly improve quality of life in women experiencing PCOS-related hirsutism.
Will Laser Hair Removal Affect My Hormones?
No.
Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle and does not affect hormone levels, fertility or reproductive organs. The treatment is non-invasive and does not interfere with the body’s hormonal balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have laser hair removal if I have PCOS?
Yes. Many clients with PCOS achieve excellent results. Hormonal hair may require additional sessions and maintenance treatments.
Does menopause affect laser hair removal?
Hormonal changes during menopause can stimulate new hair growth, especially on the face and neck, which may mean additional top-up sessions are required.
Will testosterone stop laser hair removal from working?
No. Higher testosterone levels may increase hair growth and mean more sessions are required, but laser hair removal remains highly effective.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require 6–10 sessions, although clients with hormonal conditions may need additional treatments and annual maintenance sessions.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. Hormonal changes can activate new follicles over time, so occasional maintenance treatments may be beneficial.
