PCOS & Hormonal Hair Growth
Hormonal hair growth is different. Your treatment plan should be too.
If you find yourself checking your chin in the mirror, carrying tweezers everywhere, planning around regrowth or feeling like you’re constantly fighting the same hairs, you’re not alone.
PCOS and hormonal changes can cause darker, coarser hair to grow around areas such as the chin, jawline, upper lip and neck. For some women, it’s simply hair. For others, it can have a real effect on confidence and how they feel in their skin.
At Zazura, there is no embarrassment and no judgement. Just a private, relaxed conversation about your hair and whether laser hair reduction could help.

You don’t need to be embarrassed here.
We know hormonal facial hair can sometimes feel incredibly personal.
Maybe you’ve been plucking every morning. Maybe you avoid certain lighting. Maybe you’ve tried waxing, threading, shaving or every gadget you could find online. Or maybe it doesn’t bother you at all and you’d simply like less of it.
However you feel about your hair is completely valid.
Our job isn’t to tell you that it needs removing. It’s simply to give you a welcoming space to talk about your options if you want to.
Laser hair reduction for PCOS
Can laser help with hormonal hair?
Laser hair reduction can be a great option for suitable darker, coarser hairs because the laser targets pigment within the hair.
Hormonal hair growth can behave a little differently, though. Hormones can continue to stimulate new hairs over time, so some clients may need more sessions or occasional maintenance treatments.
It’s worth being clear: laser reduces the hair, but it doesn’t treat PCOS or the underlying hormonal cause.
“Our aim isn’t to promise you’ll never see another hair. It’s to help you spend a lot less time thinking about them.”

Maintenance if you need it
Hormonal changes can stimulate new growth in the future, so occasional maintenance may form part of your longer-term plan.
Not sure if your hair is hormonal?
You don’t need a PCOS diagnosis to come and talk to us.
There are lots of reasons facial and body hair can change throughout life. If you’ve noticed a sudden or significant change in your hair growth, particularly alongside other changes such as irregular periods, we’ll always encourage you to speak with your GP rather than trying to diagnose the cause ourselves.
You can still talk to us about the hair itself and whether laser may be suitable.
