UPDATE 1: FACIAL HAIR ELECTROLYSIS VS LASER HAIR REMOVAL | PCOS 

I'm a feminine male and I have to deal with the issues women face when it comes to beauty. Even though I'm not like most guys and while still identifying as a guy, I try my best to be as feminine as possible. I hate body hair, luckily as a 24 year old male I don't have it on my chest or stomach but I'd say my legs are the hairiest. I tried laser hair removal and it didn't work, so I'm considering electrolysis.

HAIR IS DISGUSTING APART FROM THE HEAD AND NEED TO BE REMOVED.PEOPLE WITH HAIR IN THESE PLACES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.

PEOPLE WHO DEPART FROM THE NORMAL ARE TO BE FEARED AND HATED.

I personally don’t give a crap what society says. I love smooth skin.

@ムスタファ That's not true. I only remember one single time that I was picked on by a girl in my life because of body hair. But when it comes to men, I remember countless boys and men who decided to let me know how they felt about my hair.

How was your healing process? How long did it take and was it noticeable

Hello! Electrolysis does not work for me done every month for almost 2 years can only see 10 to 15 hairs gone. She recommended me to do laser now no idea What to do.

I went through the same thing I'm soooo happy now..I didn't worry about the money I wasn't happy than I had done 40yrs ago..I'm 75yr old now don't wear makeup and look good..HAPPY HAPPY NOW...thank you Jesus

​@@damnsodelicious2921my Dr. took blood work to see why the hair was coming..I when on birth control pills..this 40yrs ago I'm 75yr old now and honey you can't tell I went 2 time a week..I don't wear makeup..I had it bad

Sophie Smudge Thank you glad it helped! X

Bryce D. Same happened to me 😤

Omg now I’m scared !! I just bought a package for laser hair removal for my chin and I’m afraid to do it

You should only worry if you have PCOS or any other hormonal imbalance conditions. You should not get thicker regrowth if you don't have such conditions.

@@CurvaciousXOXO read my previous comment

Same happened to me after laser and I had my hormones checked by gp all ok according to blood test. Some independent body needs to confront this issue head on.☹

I feel you

me too :(

Same im middle eastern and my parents are hairy 😡

laser hair removal isn’t permanent, electrilysis is. try that

I have been doing laser hair removal every two months for almost 10 years. I feel like in the last 3 years or so is when there has been enough reduction that I don't have to shave anymore. I started having hair growth when I was 4 years old as well. I used to be so ashamed of it as a child that I only wore long sleeve shirts and long pants, even though I lived in the Caribbean. There were many times when I felt like I was going to pass out from overheating. Anyways the moral of my story is you are going to need a lot more than 6 laser hair treatments to get to the point where you don't need to shave anymore. Laser worked really well for my arms, legs, underarms, and bikini. But on my face, not so much. Just sharing my experience.

Its really hard having a facial hair in upperlips ...it bacause im a female im so depressed having it on how to removed it...

Same problem I am suffering for a years😭😭😭

Same here planning to see an electrolysis ASAP

So sorry you experienced the same thing! Electrolysis is the only solution and will not stimulate hair growth! Have a look at my channel I have updated videos showing my results and give more info! ☺️

Doctor isibor herbs and cleanser is what you should get to eradicate facial hair completely, no side effect and is one time permanent treatment for Hirsutism

true. but electrolysis is really expensive and time consuming for any other area that is NOT SMALL ie your neck, chin, nipples. NHS should cover other things to PREVENT pcos, instead of treating symptoms. I have pcos due to poor lifestyle choices during my childhood and teen years. I'm also doing electrolysis for chin hair. Would be nice to get pcos discount though

@@sweetycamy pcos is genetic...

@@alex______456 it may be genetic, but you need to work with what you can control. Very offtopic anyway. pcos Is exremely complex

@@sweetycamy you can't control it?? You're the one changing the topic and saying you can prevent it.

Just look at the Flowers Aww thank you 💗

What is the best thing then you think works fir PCOS cases?

Ditto !

She's beautiful 😍 ❤

Yeah .....i even love u as you are......😊😍😋

How cost it is

Hi, though I come from a country like India where there are only professionals who cheat away the money of people even without knowing the science behind electrolysis. The hardest part is I have gone through a lot of mental agony for my condition without having any issues with hormone imbalance , the only thing is the vigorosity by which they shaved and left me nowhere. But I am sure that thermolysis and electrolysis are the best possible tools. I felt you are right in saying that it really works unlike others. May you get a lot of customers treated at your clinic.

Wanted to know if you were reachable to me in India ..

@@reenusukumaran987 plz suggest me best electrolysis hair removal treatment in india

Hi. Is it ok to use a 20 years old electrolyses machine ?

@ABCGo to have a consultation someplace.

Hi! Could I get your email to ask you questions about your machine? I’m looking into getting one now. How does it work for your clients? Do you work on dark skinned clients? If yes, how does it perform?

Hi.where are you based?

I get hairs on my nose too 😟

Angelica Heisler me too

What do u mean by lifestyle changes.... And also is pcos completely curable? 🥺

Thank you so much for your advice! I am aware that diet plays a big role but I don't have enough self control yet. I'm still working on it. Thank you for sharing your experience it was very helpful!

Pancake Batter I’m not sure where you are getting (Mejia Fuentes Dominga Del Valle) from, I sign De La Cruz Santiago which is Dominican/Puerto Rican but anyways, it’s really challenging if you live in the US because here almost everything you can eat is processed. Did you have this problem as well? Thank you for your comment by the way.

So do you not get anymore hair now after stopping meat?

Location?

Glad it helped! I hope laser works out better for you than it did for me x

It doesn't have to be painful get someone who uses the apilus range waaay faster way more comfortable.

You’re definitely not alone x

anxvm You’re welcome! It will change your life just be patient with it x

I have pcos also and It’s been about a year since I stopped doing laser hair removal since I moved to a different state. My hairs have grown back but it’s not bad but still it makes me insecure. I have been recommended BC which has helped a lot but i wanna be able to have children one day . It’s a struggle and I wish I didn’t have facial hair at all :(.

The sessions will get shorter in time! Hope it works out for you! x

Erica Lynn you are Definitely not alone !!!!!!! I thank God for Electrolysis !

How is it going now, did your face get clear now? How long did it take for electrolysis work?

It will honestly change your life! I’m so happy with my electrolysis results. You can watch my updated video if you like but long story short, electrolysis is the best and only solution at this point!

It is so difficult when almost all forms of hair removal doesn't work with your skin. I experienced the same thing but have finally found something that works for me. I hope electrolysis works for you too give it a go!

@@melisatesbel Thank you x

Katie, my problem is exactly same as yours. Had the same experience with waxing too, sad. Pls share your experience with electrolysis. I am tweezing the 10--15 hairs on my chin as of now. They just grow back. No other issues with this method so far. But am on the lookout for a permanent solution. Many, many years ago, I did have a few "hag" hairs near my navel, which I had just a couple of sessions of electrolysis for and it never came back.

Thanks...I was told this before

There is no cure for PCOS. You can take birth control and other hormonal supplements, but unfortunately it won't lessen the hirsutism symptom. Many of the symptoms of PCOS have to be treated separately from the hormonal aspect or ignored, which is really hard to do when society sets the standard for what is acceptable regardless of the reasons why we are different.

A lot of the hormonal treatments for PCOS have such adverse effects, such as hair loss, it’s usually not a worthy trade.

My hormones are fully leveled... and I have a hairy face still

Stephanie Ortega no elevation in testosterone or DHEA-S?

Laser made my hair worse too!!!!! I'm now going to electrolysis but I can't see results. I'm scared its making the hair worse too! Hows your hair now?

@@ViNtAgELovv11 omg no way? if u think electrolysis is making ur hair worse, PLEASE look up other places to go, because it should not do that. My lady is located in Tarzana, CA, if you are around that area I can give more info. As for my hair growth, omg its gone! I go every couple of months to get rid of the lighter hairs around my neck area but that's it! its amazing honestly and i hope u see results like i did.

Hi, thank you for sharing your story. It's nice to be assured that we're not alone. I do highly recommend electrolysis it won't make the hair worse. It just takes a long time to get results.

This is exactly why I chose NOT to do laser. Funny how “professionals” will deny deny deny that hair can grow back thicker, darker and in places it didn’t grow this way prior, yet there is an entire diagnosis and term for exactly that condition called paradoxical hypertrichosis 🙄. I didn’t need the terminology to know this is a very real thing that happens to us, but from personal experience I know this condition is very real. They try to make us think we’re delusional. They say it’s “rare” but I’ve watched so many vision women who have this same problem

@@elettramia6380 Thanks for your comment, Elettra. Wow it's been 2 years now since my comment and a lot has happened since. I decided to invest in a Philips laser that cost me 350€ then (now around 400) from the lumea series... and I can't be happier! I used it regularly for half a year then stopped for almost a year before starting again this month, and what can I say... I'm blown away!! The results lasted LONG after I stopped, which was not the case when I had laser sessions with a professional.. and I could've probably waited some more before starting again. Some friends and even my sibling used it too after I recommended it and they're all happy with it, especially when they stop and realize too that the hair growth is unbelievably reduced for many many months! Just putting this here it might help some of you! I still don't know how it's working better than seeing a professional but it does and it's cost effective too so it's worth a try in my opinion. Especially that there are no extra costs after that!

BulletproofQpid Thank you! The lip is quite painful I’ve tried it once 😖 growing it out at the beginning stages is embarrassing so I would book the appointment as soon as the hair grew through my skin. I also covered it with a scarf so nobody would notice (first time I appreciated London being cold all the time) ☺️

I also did my upper lip, i mean I couldn’t finish it was so painful but i want to do it on another part of my face

wdym they can't pull the hair? the video i saw by "your hairy godmother" she pulled it out i think

@@sillymonkey7811 Probably means, if there's tension when pulling the hair, the laser didn't do it's job.

Can you send me the woman’s contact that helped with yours ? Please and thank you

​@@nkechichima-ogbuiyi4486Merhaba Türkiye'deyim ama İstanbul'da değil baska bir şehrinde ve garika iğneli yapan bir kadija gidiyorum

Pcos var mıydı ?

You wont regret it.

jean doe You described almost every symptom I have!

Hi from Colorado. Please don't hate any part of your body. I have also been diagnosed with PCOS. I have endured fertility treatments to conceive my children. It was totally worth everything. I love my body, even though it is flawed. God bless.

jean doe The fact that you live thinking like THAT and still go out is very inspiring, despite not being comfortable with how you look yet still go through life shows you’re a strong person so....😌

I feel this

@@kimarnette9318 is it true that its impossible to get pregnant with pcos? i recently found i hv pcos too...but im gaining weight and dark blavk hair on my chin

Zee Niazi Wtf!!

No it doesn’t. I got laser, it makes it grow back thinner

@@beautifulchickennugget6081 yes it actually does. Peach fuzz responds negatively to laser with so many women, including myself

I highly recommend electrolysis! Watch my next update where I show you my results: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XMZTdineQuI.html

LASER MADE MY HAIR WORSE TOO. Did you get electrolysis afterwards, and did it help? I'm now getting electrolysis but I'm scared that the same thing is happening. Hairs are growing farther out in my cheekbones than they ever did before.

@@ViNtAgELovv11 I can't say it made it better because I didn't stick with it long enough because of COVID... I think it has. But I can tell you that it didn't get worse.

Femboy?

Hey what are your results like? Did the hair grow back? Please share.

Asma Rasheed if only they said me the same

Wish mine had told me...

Ellen D Thank you so much for your advice!

I'm also an electrolygist and thought the same as you. It's very unusual to get scabs like the photo from electrolysis. I wouldn't like people to be put off electrolysis by that first photo.

Me too its really sad and pain

Me too and it’s so embarrassing. I constantly move my Partners hand when he wants to touch my chin because I don’t want him to feel iy

Its sad how all of us have to go through this pain.

Me too my marriage is suffering too bc of this.

My sideburns and peach fuzz are killing me

Never happened to me. For me it actually slowed the rate at which it grew back. I only get a couple of treatments for maintenance.

Same thing happen with me

I have only chin hair, after laser I starts growing more hair on neck n chickbones..now I'm going for waxing ..no laser at all

Aww,Bless your heart,I too are going thru the same thing that's why I'm here, My 33rd birthday are Sunday the 19th and I'm filling very insecure now after dealing with this all my life,,My Son asked just the other day,,Momma why you have a mustache like a man 🤦‍♀️😥🤷‍♀️😭

How's your experience with electrolysis and how much money you are spending?

You unfortunately cannot cure PCOS. I have PCOS too. You can only treat the symptoms but there is no way to rid yourself of PCOS entirely

@@SharlizeLyn what are the consequences of Pcos? is it impossible to get pregnant? i just got to know i hv pcos too..im kinda worried...anf have a lot of dark black hair and its kinda annoying

@@kppi.1161 , i think it's different for everyone because it can manifest differently. Apparently there are 5 types of PCOS. I'm only familiar with mine. My symptoms included: - rapid sudden weight gain - erratic periods. Like I would have a reverse period (bleed for 3 weeks, 4 days clear, and then repeat). And then it would shift to having no periods for 7 months.... and then bleeding for 10 months straight. It was completely unstable and almost left me anaemic. - I became insulin resistant. People with PCOS can become insulin resistant much faster than others. Which is what triggered the sudden weight gain. - the most obvious thing that gave me the diagnosis was that a scan revealed my ovaries are inflamed and are covered in cysts around the edge (hence POLYCYSTIC OVARY in PCOS). These cant be removed because they're basically everywhere. Google images if you're not squeamish - and a few doctors told me I was infertile and was not ovulating despite bleeding so much . But fortunately this can be reversed. So as a result... I am on birth control. This is the typical method of hormone therapy used to manage my period and hormone issues. So as long as I'm on the pill, I'll have a stable period once a month. And my hormones are the wrong way around. So I have low oestrogen levels and high progesterone. These levels usually trigger a period , which is why I would constantly bleed . So because the oestrogen levels are very low, the effects of testosterone are more harsh on the body. I dont have any more testosterone than I should but I have too little oestrogen to balance it out. So I have thicker hair and my hair on my head falls out quite a bit, so I avoid brushing it too too much. I'm also on metformin (anti diabetic medication) to reverse the insulin resistance. Because IR is pre-diabetes. It can be reversed before it progresses to full out type 2 diabetes. The best advice i can offer is to go to a gynae (if you have not already), and be put on a birth control pill that agrees with your body and that "corrects" the imbalance. Because if you have pcos, you MUST have some hormone imbalance. the pill basically can help when it comes to having children. Apparently when you and your partner are ready to have children, you use the pill as you would if you were using it for contraceptive purposes, and try to conceive immediately after stopping the pill. I am not married or interested in children right now, so I cant speak from experience on the topic of conceiving with PCOS, but A LOT of women in my family had undiagnosed reproductive issues (probably pcos , because it is hereditary) and struggled excessively to conceive. Because back then it was taboo to go to a gynae and they had weird myths about why people who struggle to conceive etc. Silly shit honestly . I hope this helps. My best advice is to use the pill and manage the symptoms. Realistically that is the best you can do but also kinda all you can do. You cant reverse pcos. But if you would be open with adopting children, then you could have your ovaries removed and will no longer suffer with symptoms . But that is the last resort and is usually considered after managing to have kids and wanting to be rid of the symptoms. All the best hun

Sharlize Hendricks i heard that boilling water with oignon like for 2 oignons 2 cup of water you put them too boiled and boiled for 5 minitufe and then you have to drink it during one week avery month after the periods week and people who had it says it worked it maybe not easy to drink but why not to try this every month and then see with the doctor some people are really greatfull with that

I cured pcos by going vegan

soumya joy hi there.. did you do laser on the face as well if so, are they fine hairs like peach fuzz?

How about your facial hair? Is it getting worse after you used yag laser?

It’s actually better after yag... however you can still see some fine hair like the peach fuzz in some areas... I have not done anything since COVID to maintain it but it doesn’t look bad like it did before

@@isoumyai did you do your laser on the face?

Yes I did it on my face because I have PCOS... I did my sideburns and upper and lower chin areas

Simone McKee Thanks for the info! I had no idea ipl could make it worse but I’m glad that I went back to electrolysis. The hair is pretty much gone now. I struggle with following diets but definitely need to find a way to stick to it. Thanks again ☺️
