Facial Hair

:) Hi Dr. Sari

I wanted to ask that I have just recieved the PCOS system and I was scheduling myself to see a dermatologist to get rid of the hair by Laser hair removal permanantly... I was wondering if I should wait for my results or is it okay to go ahead with the laser...??:confused:

Hi Aiesha,
I would go ahead and see the dermatologist to permanently remove the hair that already exists. The Insulite PCOS System would not be able to remove the hair that exists already, but may help prevent further thick, unwanted hair growth. The follicles that already exist will have to be addressed by something like laser, so it's good that you are scheduled to do that.
Best of luck and keep in touch with how you are doing on the System!

I just wanted to check what I'm reading. I understand that the hair has to be removed first and that hopefully being on the Insulite System will help to prevent new hair from growing, but at first I interpreted this as my continuing to pluck or wax would do the trick and hopefully I won't have to do that after a while. However, are you saying that in order for it to be completely removed, I MUST have laser removal done?

The trick is to remove the hair follicle. Laser does this, and waxing CAN do this if done properly. Here's a link to describe what I mean:

I don't think plucking or tweezing actually removes the hair follicle, so waxing or laser removal would be a better bet for large areas where you want to prevent the hair from growing back once your hormones are more in balance.

When you use tweezers to pluck hair, be sure to clean the instrument before and after using. Here are some tips for tweezing, from HairBoutique.com:
1. Tweeze eyebrows at least one hour before applying any eyebrow makeup.
2. If you have sensitive skin and tweezing is difficult, soften skin with a lukewarm washcloth pressed against the desired tweezing area to help with the tweezing process. Tweezing after a warm bath or shower is ideal because the steam can warm the skin and make it easier to tweeze.
3. Brush target hairs in the direction of the hair's natural growth.
4. Avoid using creams or moisturizers that may cause the tweezer to slip or hard to control.
5. Isolate the hair you wish to tweeze. Hold the skin taut to prevent excess pulling.
6. Direct the tweezers so that you are tweezing the direction of the hair's growth.
7. Pull just one hair at a time to control the overall tweezing effect.
8. When holding the tweezers pull the hair gently but with a quick and smooth direction. Be careful not to yank or cut hair. Cutting hair at the surface may cause the development of ingrown hairs.

I'm so sorry if there was a misunderstanding with your purchase! And sorry for not responding sooner, I only just now saw your post. The Insulite PCOS System helps to correct the hormonal imbalance that causes PCOS. The Insulite PCOS System consists of supplements (pills containing nutrients, herbs) along with diet and exercise guidelines that all together can improve PCOS symptoms, including hirsutism. However, hair that currently exists may need to be removed first, because of all the reasons I listed in the above posts (the existing follicles, etc). We don't want to make any false promises so to be on the safe side with expectations we usually tell women that the Insulite System would help to prevent future hair growth rather than thinning out the hair that already exists. But I have heard from some women on the System who noticed that their facial hair did thin out. And also I've heard from women whose hair was too thin (on their scalp, I mean) and they felt that it got thicker and healthier.
Here's what I suggest for you: use the Insulite PCOS System for 90 days and see how you feel, see what happens with ALL of your PCOS symptoms. Notice what changes with regard to things like acne, hair, menstrual cycle, energy levels, sleep quality, mood, weight, etc. Insulite Labs offers a 90-day moneyback guarantee so this is actually risk-free for you, to really stick with the program for those 90 days. During that time it might help you to keep in touch with somebody from the Advisory team to help coach you along, answer questions, and generally support you: info@insulitelabs.com or you can fill out a contact form here:
