PCOS and hair : Laser hair removal affects the follicle and root of the hair so should remove it permanently. However, patients with pcos may have thicker and more persistent hair growth so it may take more treatments to achieve the desired results. Furthermore, there are no long term studies evaluating the long-term effects of laser hair removal in pcos patients.
