Seeing less hair with Insulite

[pinkkooshball]

I've read that women typically will see unwanted hair lessen over time while using Insulite - I'm assuming they mean in the typical unwanted places like on their face. What I'm curious to know is if anyone has noticed the hair they already have thinning out. For instance, like many women with PCOS I seem to have heavier amounts of hair on my forearms. I'd so love to see that hair thin a bit. Is this something that might happen as my body adapts to the system and new diet? Has anyone noticed such changes perhaps??

Hello and thanks for posting. What we hear from customers is that unwanted hair growth DOES lessen over time, but it seems to be one of the later symptoms to improve. For hair that already exists, such as unwanted facial hair, you would need to get that removed with electrolysis, laser hair removal, or medications such as Vaniqua. The follicles that have already started producing thicker, coarser hairs may continue to do so unless the follicle is destroyed. While the Insulite PCOS System will not stop growth in the hair you already have, correcting hormonal imbalances common in PCOS can stop more follicles from being stimulated to produce that unwanted, coarser and thicker hair. I hope this answers your question!

What if laser hair removal is out of the question financially, and my doctor doesn't want to prescribe anything more than birth control for the condition...? Being Vaniqua is a prescription drug... what can be done? Are there any other alternatives?

Hello,
Well, any alternative is also going to cost money, though maybe not as much as laser hair removal. Have you explored the option of electrolysis? Maybe you could sit down with your doctor again and explain how important this is to you and how the hair is negatively affecting your life. Bring him or her some information about Vaniqua that you have printed off from the internet and suggest that he or she read it for you.
If you look through these threads on this board, you will see that I have also suggested there are natural methods of preventing future hair growth. Excess hair that currently exists would need to be removed (laser, electrolysis, Vaniqua, etc.) but using herbs like saw palmetto, nettles root, and vitex, eating pumpkin seeds, and certain nutrients and herbs to reverse insulin resistance (the underlying cause of PCOS) can all be helpful. In addition, many women with PCOS respond well to a low carbohydrate, whole foods diet in terms of improvement of their PCOS symptoms.

Good luck!
