Laser treatment for PCOD/Hirsutism
A few of my friends have undergone laser treatment and we're not satisfied with the results. According to them, after completing 6 sessions perfectly, the hair growth doesn't go lighter. In their case facial hair growth came back after 3-4 months as it was before. They have consulted the best dermatologists in the city, but of no use later.
Now, I have been thinking to get the laser treatment done for myself, but now I am scared. They also have PCOD and the case same for me. Is it true that PCOD can't have their facial removed permanently by Laser or any other method? If yes, what is the best option for me?
Thanks in advance!

It is important to remember that there is only reduction of hair, not complete removal. Even with the best of machines, if your hair has high hormonal sensitivity it can grow back. The advantage of laser is not that it removes hair permanently, rather that as long as you are on laser, the hair will grow slowly, it will be fine and few. So you will be presentable all the time.

Hello dear. Laser hair reduction combined with oral and topical medicines, and ofcourse, when done by an experienced doctor gives best results.
Most of the so-called beauty clinics and aesthetic clinics employ ill trained technicians who perform the procedure. So how can you expect good results.
Next Steps
Visit clinic in Delhi for proper treatment. Bring all test reports so far.

You just can't achieve best results only with laser fr hair reduction if you have pcod
Best is to treat your hirsuitism or facial hair growth with a holistic approach by proper endocrine workup.
