PCOS & Hormonal Hair Removal
Hormonal hair growth isn't your fault, and it isn't something you have to live with. We specialise in treating excess hair caused by PCOS, menopause, thyroid conditions, and other hormonal imbalances with gentle, permanent electrolysis.
Book Free ConsultationUnderstanding Hormonal Hair Growth
Hormonal imbalances, particularly elevated androgens, can stimulate hair follicles to produce thick, dark hair in areas like the face, chest, abdomen, and back. This is called hirsutism, and it affects millions of people worldwide.
While medical treatments (like birth control pills, anti-androgens, or metformin) can help manage the underlying hormonal condition and slow new hair growth, they cannot remove hair that already exists. That's where electrolysis comes in.
Electrolysis permanently destroys the treated hair follicle, regardless of what caused it to grow. Combined with your medical treatment, it delivers the best possible outcome: hormones managed medically, existing hair removed permanently.
Conditions We Specialise In
We have extensive experience treating hair growth related to the following conditions.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS affects up to 10% of women and often causes excess facial and body hair (hirsutism). While medication can slow new growth, electrolysis permanently removes existing hair.
Menopause & Perimenopause
Declining estrogen levels during menopause can trigger new hair growth on the face and chin. Electrolysis provides a permanent solution as your body changes.
Thyroid Disorders
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can affect hair growth patterns. We work alongside your medical treatment to address unwanted hair.
Medication Side Effects
Certain medications, including steroids, hormone therapy, and some blood pressure drugs. Can cause unwanted hair growth. Electrolysis treats the symptom permanently.
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
This genetic condition can cause excess androgen production, leading to unwanted hair. Electrolysis is a safe, effective treatment option.
Insulin Resistance
Often linked with PCOS, insulin resistance can contribute to increased androgen levels and unwanted hair growth.
Why Electrolysis for Hormonal Hair?
An Important Note
Electrolysis works best as a complement to medical treatment, not a replacement. If you haven't been diagnosed, we encourage you to speak with your doctor. We're here to remove the hair; your medical team is here to address the root cause.

What Our Clients Say
“I started going to see Tammy at the beginning of September 2023. As someone with PCOS I regularly shaved my chin, neck and sideburns every day. It was something that I was incredibly self-conscious and embarrassed about and did not talk about, not even with my husband! After only a month and a half of seeing Tammy I am already seeing incredible results! We have worked mainly on my chin and neck for now and the difference is amazing! I no longer need to shave those 2 areas daily, there are still a few dark hairs that come through but most that do appear now are much softer and light colored! Tammy is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Her space is clean, comfortable, relaxing and inviting. My only regret is not having gone to see her sooner! I am excited to continue on this hair removal journey and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
