Pcos Related Hirsutism Treatment

Hormonal and medical control options

Managing androgen levels and regularising menstrual cycles is often the first step. Typical approaches include:

• Combined oral contraceptives with estrogen and progestin to suppress ovarian androgen production.
• Anti-androgen medicines that block androgen receptors and reduce hair growth over time.
• Insulin-sensitising drugs for women with insulin resistance to help improve hormonal balance.
• Topical eflornithine cream to slow facial hair growth in selected areas.

Choice of treatment depends on health, reproductive plans, and contraindications. Follow-up visits allow dosage adjustment and side-effect monitoring.

Procedural and cosmetic hair reduction

If medication does not control visible hair, procedures can reduce density and improve comfort:

• Laser hair reduction targeting follicles, generally more effective for darker hair on lighter skin.
• Electrolysis for precise removal in smaller areas, useful when hair colour limits laser effectiveness.
• Hair pattern reshaping in rare cases, using treatments like Hairline Design & Restoration for cosmetic balance.

These procedures need multiple sessions and trained practitioners. Patient images are shared only with consent.

Regenerative therapies for coexisting hair concerns

Some patients manage hirsutism alongside hair thinning or alopecia. Regenerative trichology can support scalp health while hormonal treatments address excess growth:

• PRP Hair Restoration Therapy delivering platelet-rich plasma for follicle support.
• Growth Factor Hair Therapy (GFC) with concentrated growth factors to improve scalp vitality.
• Hair Mesotherapy with microinjections of vitamins and medications to enhance the scalp environment.

These therapies are planned individually and can complement hormonal control, addressing both unwanted and lost hair.
