Hello all,
Well I was told today that I have PCOS and although I am very confused and overwhelmed by what it all means, I am relieved that all of the mad problems that I’ve had over the past couple of years are attributable to something and that I am not bonkers. I can’t explain how glad I am to finally be taken seriously by my doctor and family.
That aside, my problem is this: I have been offered free laser treatment by my doctor on my face. The lasers being offered are the alex and the nd:yag (I have not been seen by the dermatologist yet but I know that I am skin type IV and that I will therefore be offered yag) but I have already had 12 treatments of nd:yag over a year ago (I can’t believe how much I paid for it, but at that time my doctor dismissed my hair problem as heredity because of my ethnic background so I jumped into it without researching because I was so desperate). The results were not so good - I did end up with induced growth, as I now sadly know is common in this area for women.
Anyhow, I started electrolysis (blend and thermolysis) last month but because of my ultra sensitive skin, for all the pre and post care, I am ending up with scars so I’m not really satisfied with how it’s going. So now I’m wavering, wondering whether I should just go with the free laser despite my previous results or if that would be a big mistake. I did ask my doctor if I could be given free electrolysis instead but this was rejected outright.
So what do you guys think I should do? I do have many good pictures of my skin if anyone wants to see them, I don’t really know how to upload them online etc, but I’d be happy to email them to anyone who might like to see and kindly offer me their thoughts…
