WHAT IS PCOS?

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition in women.  Small sacs of fluid form around the edges of the ovaries, called cysts.  Women suffering from PCOS may have elevated levels of male hormones (androgens), which can result in hirsutism. 

While some of the symptoms of PCOS are physiologically taxing and painful, the unwanted hair growth from hirsutism can be psychologically devastating.  Unlike other methods, such as Laser Hair Removal Treatments, which may increase the hair growth of people with PCOS, Electrolysis targets the dermal papilla and regenerative stem cells which affects the follicle's ability to regrow hair. 

Electrolysis can be of great benefit in treating hirsutism and alleviating some of the emotional distress of PCOS.
