Hi all,
I have PCOS and posed this question to my endocrinologist, who is the coordinator of all my pre-surg requirements and follow-ups.  He said WLS would do nothing to stop my facial hair growth and that only laser treatments or electrolysis could.

 Hello Ladies,

I have had PCOS for several years. I have had great success with laser hair removal. My facial hair was so bad, I wore my hair very long, and basically became a hermit except for work. I hated it! I felt as if my body had betrayed me. I allowed the Washington Post to profile me years ago to share my story with other women.

If you live in the Washington, DC area Dr. Cheryl Burgess is a angel. Let me repeat this, Dr. Cheryl Burgess is a angel. She is a dermatologist and uses several lasers. Not all lasers work on the same skin type.

I bought a five session package. I was shaving every day, had dark discoloration, razor burn, bumps, etc.,

Now my face is clear and amazing! After my 3rd treatment I saw a huge difference, I went from shaving every day to never picking up the razor again.

Currently, I wax to remove any stray hairs and about once a year, will head in for a quick laser treatment but I think lasers are the best way to get the hairs.

Note, if you wait too long i.e. when they turn into gray hairs the only option will be electrolysis which is much more painful.
