The best laser for laser hair reduction (LHR) is a triple wavelength laser which has diode, alexandrite and long pulsed ND YAG. The Alma soprano ice platinum is an amazing machine with 80 - 90% reduction in hair. It's US FDA approved.
LHR is the treatment of choice for facial Hair due to PCOD. Provided Yr PCOD is in control.

I Advice u to visit a board certified dermatologist for consultation.
Health Tips
Since you are a patient of PCOD firstly I'll advice to get your hormonal status checked and if in control get your laser sessions done.
Always remember facial hair is influenced by hormones. Hence, if u have facial hair u will need more sessions to get it reduced.

Diode has to be used for hair removal. It is very effective but also depends on the experience of the handler. If you go to clinic which do not have dermatologist and glorified parlours for laser hair removal, you will always be dissapointed. Also avoid packages and other offers because all this is consumer aqusition strategies. If pcod is not treated laser treatment will not work
