Consult a specialist if you experience:

Sudden or severe hair growth

Irregular or absent menstrual periods

Signs of virilization (deep voice, enlarged clitoris, increased muscle mass)

Emotional distress or reduced confidence due to unwanted hair

Ineffectiveness of over-the-counter hair removal methods

A professional evaluation helps determine whether the hirsutism is cosmetic or hormonally driven, guiding appropriate treatment.

 Do’s:

Follow your doctor’s treatment plan consistently.

Maintain a healthy weight to balance hormones.

Use sunscreen on treated areas after laser therapy.

Choose gentle hair-removal methods between sessions if needed.

Manage stress with yoga, meditation, or exercise.

 Don’ts:

Don’t pluck or wax immediately before laser sessions.

Avoid self-medicating with hormone pills.

Don’t skip follow-up consultations.

Avoid harsh hair-removal creams that can irritate the skin.

Don’t expect instant results; hormonal treatments take time to show visible improvement.
