If it was vaniqa cream then it takes some months to make a difference so don't lose hope. I had laser about 8 years ago now after I had my son and it is the best thing I ever did (Laser not ipl as ipl is not as effective)

I used to have to shave my facial hair at least once or twice a day. Then I got it lasered off about 7 years ago... and haven't had to worry since. I would highly recommend getting it lasered, as any hair regrowth is so thin and almost invisible.

You can get a discount with a GP letter diagnosing your pcos, in most places that offer laser treatment.
