Suffering From PCOS, Excess Facial Hair. Prescribed Metformin. Will Eflora Or Laser Help?
Hi! I am suffering from PCOS. I have been prescribed Metformin 85o Mg and 1000 Mg respectively to be taken, one each daily. My biggest concern is facial hair. The growth is fast and thick. I have not been given any contraceptive pills for the facial hair. Will Eflora help? Any other suggestions? Also, will laser help and does laser sometimes cause excessive hair to grow back?

hi welcome to HCM
-i had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
facial hair is one of the complaint of the PCOD;in which High levels of male hormones (androgens ) are the cause for facial hair growth.
-without treating the underlying causes ( adrogenes-PCOD ),your problem cant be cured with any procedures.
I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
