Real Stories
Hormonal Hair & PCOS Journeys
Every journey is unique. Read how our clients overcame hormonal hair growth and reclaimed their confidence through personalised electrolysis treatment.
Chin & Jawline
The Struggle
Living with PCOS meant daily facial hair on my chin and jawline. I felt embarrassed and spent years hiding behind scarves and makeup.
The Journey
After a personalised electrolysis plan targeting the chin and jawline over 12 months, each session brought visible improvement.
The Transformation
I finally look in the mirror and feel like myself. No more hiding — I wake up confident every single day.
“MelaBody didn’t just remove hair — they gave me back my confidence.”

Upper Lip
The Struggle
Hormonal imbalance caused coarse dark hair on my upper lip. Laser never worked long-term — the hair always came back.
The Journey
The team recommended electrolysis with a tailored treatment schedule. They understood hormonal hair is different and planned accordingly.
The Transformation
After completing my sessions, the hair hasn’t returned. For the first time in years, I feel truly free.
“They understood what hormonal hair means and treated it permanently.”

Full Face & Neck
The Struggle
PCOS caused thick hair growth across my chin, jawline, and neck. I’d tried everything — waxing, threading, laser — nothing lasted.
The Journey
MelaBody created a comprehensive treatment journey combining electrolysis with hormonal health guidance over 18 months.
The Transformation
The results are permanent. I no longer plan my life around hair removal. It’s been life-changing.

Specialist Treatment
Electrolysis for PCOS
Electrolysis is one of the only permanent hair removal solutions for hormonal hair growth.
Why Laser Often Fails for Hormonal Hair
Laser targets pigment and works best on dark, coarse hair with light skin. Hormonal conditions like PCOS cause hair to regrow from new follicles stimulated by androgens — meaning laser results are often temporary.
Why Electrolysis Is Permanent
Electrolysis destroys each follicle individually using targeted energy. Once a follicle is treated, it cannot produce new hair — making it the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal method.
Personalised Treatment Plans
Every client’s hormonal profile is different. We create tailored treatment schedules that account for hair growth cycles, hormonal fluctuations, and the specific areas affected.
