PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, is a hormonal disorder that affects females. It is characterized by hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated levels of androgens (male hormones), which can disrupt the menstrual cycle and lead to the development of cysts on the ovaries. PCOS manifests with a range of symptoms that can vary in severity among individuals. Symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, insulin resistance, weight gain, acne, moodswings, scalp hair thinning, and excessive hair growth, known as hirsutism.

What is Hirsutism?
One of the hallmark symptoms of PCOS is hirsutism, which refers to excessive hair growth in areas where men typically grow hair, such as the face, chest, and back.
This condition is caused by increased androgen production, which stimulates hair follicles to produce thicker and more pigmented hair. Hirsutism can significantly impact self-esteem and body image, leading to emotional distress and social discomfort for many individuals with PCOS.
Electrolysis for Hirsutism
Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that can effectively treat hirsutism in individuals with PCOS. It involves inserting a tiny probe into each hair follicle to deliver an electrical current, which destroys its ability to produce new hair. There are two main types of electrolysis: multiprobe electrolysis, which uses multiple probes simultaneously to treat larger areas, and single-probe electrolysis (or thermolysis), which targets individual hair follicles with heat.
How PCOS Sisters Treats Hirsutism
Beverly Hills Hair Free has partnered with PCOS Sisters Telehealth Clinic & Wellness Center, a telehealth company that can treat your PCOS and the root cause of hirsutism.
PCOS Sisters, Dr. Lynsey Johnson, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, and her team prioritize treating PCOS holistically before addressing hirsutism through electrolysis. By focusing on regulating hormones and addressing the underlying causes of PCOS, such as insulin resistance and hormone imbalance, they aim to improve overall health and well-being. Once PCOS is effectively managed, electrolysis can be used to remove unwanted hair permanently, providing long-term relief from hirsutism and restoring confidence to those affected by this symptom.
Founder Dr. Lynsey Johnson, DNP, FNP-C and her team of PCOS Specialists are able to treat patients from the comfort of their home via video chat in TX, FL, GA, NY and more states coming soon. Labs and medications to prevent hair growth from recurring will be provided during the visit, making your electrolysis treatment much more effective.
