Hi I have had this for many years now, what do you all do about excessive hair growth on your face?

I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and am over weight, but I am dealing with this, it's just the hair growth that gets me down

Epilator initially but then laser ideally but average is 15 sessions for pcos and then you need to maintain it as sadly nothing is permanent- if you do go for laser then don’t pluck for 6 week prior to having it done

Not what you're looking for?
