Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders, affecting between 3% and 5% of women 12-45 years old.

Some of the signs and symptoms of PCOS can include:

• Weight Gain
• Acne
• Diabetes
• Irregular Menstruation
• Infertility
• Excessive amounts of androgenic hormones

The increase in androgens contributes to many of the symptoms that women experience whom are suffering from the disease. These androgens are hormones which cause some of the typical male characteristics, and many of the symptoms of PCOS cause a distressing change in physical appearance such as excessive body hair.  Given this, DepiCool often receive enquiries from PCOS sufferers in relation to permanently help remove or reduce these levels of body hair.

In todays very body conscious society, DepiCool recognise the importance of both looking and feeling good, and that health and image are two of the most important aspects in day to day life.

For women conscious of this excessive body hair, undergoing IPL treatment with us, will give an 80-90% permanent hair reduction, and the remaining hair that is left will be much thinner, weaker and more prone to breaking away. This is why IPL is such a commonly requested treatment for PCOS sufferers.

DepiCool would like to remind clients suffering from PCOS that this may affect the treatment process, in so much as it may increase the number of sessions required (normally this is an average of 6-8) or for example, sessions may need to be spaced closer together than the average guidances: in order to reach the desired results.

At DepiCool we treat all clients on an individual basis, and your needs will always be catered to in a friendly, personal and professional manner. With your practitioner (usually at the initial patch test) you will have the opportunity to ask any questions specific to your needs and/or concerns.

At DepiCool we are pleased to offer our customers the best comparative price for IPL treatment in the market, and our £49 flat rate offers client access to top of the range IPL treatment at a revolutionary price.

However we do have cash saving schemes such as the DepiCool Friends Plan, as well as other seasonal offers and we are confident that you won’t find the same standard of treatment at a more competitive price in our store locations.
