Hi, they will come back with most ways. Laser can reduce but not always permanently effective with PCOS. They say don’t pluck but easier said than done, lol. I pluck the thicker ones but use scissors to trim thin ones (I had laser so poss why this is enough) You can try creams that remove or waxing or bleaching. Look in the women’s shaving section the other stuff is usually in there. Some of these might be better for you, it’s a bit of trial and error to see what you prefer and what works best for you. Good luck

What about flawless finish?

It’s not something I’ve tried. I think it’s pretty much a small electric shaver but I could be wrong.
