Frequency varies, but typically every 3–6 weeks depending on regrowth. People with PCOS may need more frequent appointments due to faster hair cycles. We recommend a consultation to personalize timing and discuss complementary treatments like electrolysis.

Pain level is similar to standard facial waxing, though increased hair density from PCOS can make sessions feel firmer. We use gentle techniques, quality waxes, and can apply topical numbing or cooling to minimize discomfort.

Waxing removes hairs at the root and may weaken some follicles over repeated treatments, offering temporary reduction. However, PCOS-driven growth is hormonal, so waxing alone rarely stops long-term regrowth without medical or electrolysis support.

Ensure hair is about 1/4 inch long, avoid exfoliating the day before, and skip retinoids or strong acids for a week. Clean skin and avoid recent tanning. Inform us about PCOS medications or sensitivities to tailor care.

Apply a cool compress and calming serum; avoid heavy makeup, saunas, and intense exercise for 24–48 hours. No exfoliation for 48 hours to prevent irritation. Follow up if you experience sensitivity or ingrown hairs related to PCOS.

Always tell your therapist about medications and skin issues before waxing. Certain prescriptions like oral retinoids or blood thinners increase risk and may require delays. We perform assessments, patch tests, and may suggest alternatives or medical clearance.
