Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects many women of reproductive age. It’s often linked with irregular periods, raised androgen levels (sometimes referred to as “male hormones”), and polycystic ovaries. For many people, PCOS can begin around puberty and bring a range of symptoms — but two of the most distressing (and visible) are unwanted hair growth and acne.

At Health Counts, these are two areas we help people with every day — and for many of our clients, laser treatment can provide long stretches of time with little to no hair regrowth or acne at all.

Hair growth can feel overwhelming, especially when it’s on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, or other visible areas. Many people spend years shaving, plucking, waxing, or using creams — only to feel like they’re constantly battling regrowth.

Health Counts has been treating PCOS-related unwanted hair since 2004, and over the years we’ve helped thousands of people reduce facial and body hair with long-term results.

One of the biggest reasons we’re able to do this so effectively is that we have four different hair removal lasers, which means we can treat every skin tone safely and effectively. Our team also brings genuine understanding to the treatment process — some of our staff have PCOS themselves, so they understand first-hand how upsetting and confidence-draining these symptoms can be.
