Okay, let’s keep it real — laser hair removal isn’t some magical, one-size-fits-all fix. And if you’re one of the many women navigating hormonal imbalances like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), you already know that smooth, hair-free skin can feel like a journey with a few more twists and turns.

But guess what? You’re not alone — and we’ve got you covered.

Hormones vs. Hair: What’s the Deal?

Blame it on the hormones — specifically androgens (hi, testosterone!). These little troublemakers can ramp up hair growth in all the places you don’t want it: the chin, upper lip, stomach, even your back.

This kind of hair is often darker, coarser, and stubbornly sticks around, making it a bit more challenging for laser to zap it away as quickly as it does with other hair types.

So… Does Laser Still Work?

Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: It might just take a little more time and patience.

If your hair growth is hormone-driven, expect to commit to more sessions — usually 8 to 12 — and some occasional maintenance appointments down the road. Why? Hormonal hair likes to come back for an encore (rude), and that means laser treatments need to be a bit more persistent.

We also use top-of-the-line diode laser technology — safe, powerful, and designed to work beautifully on a variety of skin tones, including deeper complexions. Because your skin deserves the best.

Pro Tips for Long-Term Laser Love

✨ Consistency is queen – Skipping sessions? Delayed results. Show up, glow up.
✨ Put the tweezers down – Shave between sessions, but don’t wax or pluck.
✨ Talk to your doc – Managing hormones internally can seriously boost your laser results.
✨ Trust the process – Progress isn’t always linear, but it’s always worth it.

Hormonal Hair vs. Genetic Hair: What’s the Difference?

• Genetic Hair: Typically finer, lighter, and responds faster to laser.

• Hormonal Hair: Thicker, darker, and a little more stubborn — but totally treatable with the right approach.

Whether you’re battling peach fuzz or full-on hormonal flare-ups, our team at Bare & Pure is here to help you every step of the way.

Because laser hair removal isn’t just about smooth skin — it’s about confidence, empowerment, and finally feeling like you in your skin.
