PCOS + hair removal? ?

Question

I have hairy arms, but they don't bother me too much because they are very light.

I have recently noticed I seem to be getting 'sideburns', which are horrible. I plucked a few last week and now I seem to have more.

I am only 18 and can't yet afford laser surgery so I am thinking of buying one of these:

Are they any good?

I have something called PCOS my body produces more testosterone (male hormone) than what a woman without PCOS does, which is why I have more hair and some facial hair, eek!

I'm guessing I have had 'sideburns' for a few months, but I have never noticed them. The other day my mum commented on a mustache I apparently have, the hairs are quite fine so I used the 'threading' hair removal method to get rid of them (for now).

Anyone got any advice as to what method of hair removal I should be using for the facial hair?

I try not to wax because it makes my skin really rough and spotty.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi there hun. Yes i have dealt with alot of women who have pcos. This unfortunately is the most annoying of the problems, is the excess body and facial hair, however light it isnt very nice for the woman.Many women try waxing which can be painful, but can leave a little sore after a while. If you use a good womens shaving gel or a good soap, shaving has worked for many women i have seen. A ladies face i once saw after she had shaved was incresible, she had the smoothness of a models skin, and she could easily do that in the shower! There are many hormone medications that you can take for the specific problems of pcos aswell hun! Pop to your local doctor and they will be able to help most of the symptoms nearly disappear. So my advice would be use a good razor and some shaving foam. Take care, email me if you need anything else x*x

Personally, I think threading IS the best hair removal method for facial hair.
