Show Notes

In this episode of The SKIN Report, Dr. Simran Sethi addresses a sensitive and often frustrating symptom of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS): excess facial hair.

Dr. Sethi explains why women with PCOS experience facial hair growth, which medications are most effective for treating it (like spironolactone and birth control), and what hair reduction methods are safest—especially for women of color. She breaks down the pros and cons of shaving, waxing, laser hair removal, and electrolysis, and offers science-backed advice for lasting results.

👉 If you’re dealing with unwanted facial hair from PCOS, this episode gives you a clear, compassionate roadmap for managing it safely and effectively.
