About PCOS

It’s not just hair — it’s hormonal.
Unwanted facial or body hair is more than a cosmetic issue for millions of women. For those living with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), excess hair growth — often on the face, chest, or stomach — can feel like a daily battle.But it doesn’t have to be.Let’s talk PCOS, hormones, and how modern beauty tech is changing the game — including our favorite FDA-approved at-home Pro 8 IPL device with Sapphire Ice Cool™ from Hans Beauty.

The PCOS Lowdown
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a hormonal disorder that affects up to 1 in 10 women. It can disrupt periods, increase acne, make weight harder to manage — and trigger an increase in androgens, the hormones that can lead to male-pattern hair growth (called hirsutism).The result? Stubborn, coarse hair that just keeps coming back.

Tried Everything? You’re Not Alone.
Women with PCOS often rotate through the usual suspects:
✨ Shaving – Fast, but relentless upkeep.
💥 Waxing or threading – Ouch. And repeat.
💊 Prescription meds – Helpful, but not for everyone.
🔦 Salon laser treatments – Pricey. Time-consumin

PCOS + IPL: What to Expect
Consistency is key — especially when hormones are involved.
📆 Weeks 1–4: Use 2–3 times/week on clean, shaved skin.
📆 Weeks 5–8: Once a week.
📆 After 8 weeks: Maintenance sessions as needed.
Most users start seeing noticeable results within the first month. Fewer rogue hairs, softer texture, and longer-lasting smoothness? Yes, please.
