How Electrolysis Helps Women with PCOS Regain Confidence: Stories From HairFreeSG

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women around the world, including many in Singapore. While symptoms vary widely, a common and often distressing struggle is unwanted facial hair caused by hormonal imbalance. For many women, this means coping with daily shaving, painful threading or temporary fixes that never truly solve the problem. Beyond the physical symptoms, unwanted facial hair can slowly erode confidence, self-esteem and emotional well-being.

A recent feature in The Straits Times by Ms. Stephanie Yeo highlighted the journeys of women living with PCOS. They spoke about years of irregular periods, sudden weight gain, acne, fatigue and brain fog. Some shared how confusing and isolating the process of getting diagnosed was. One woman described having facial hair from her teenage years and being teased about her eyebrows and “moustache”. Others expressed feeling “out of control” or misunderstood when seeking help.

At HairFreeSG Electrolysis, we meet many women who have lived through similar experiences. Since 2020, our award-winning electrolysis studio has become a trusted destination for women seeking permanent solutions for hormonal hair growth. We have welcomed clients from Singapore and from overseas, including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Dubai and Taiwan. Many choose to travel to Singapore specifically because permanent electrolysis services are not easily available in their home countries.

How Electrolysis Helps With PCOS Facial Hair

Electrolysis is the only medically recognised method of true permanent hair removal. This is especially important for women with PCOS because hormonal hair is often thick, stubborn and resistant to treatments like laser, waxing or threading. Laser can reduce hair but it does not permanently remove all hair types or colours. Electrolysis permanent hair removal works on every skin tone, every hair colour and every form of hormonal hair.

Clients often tell us that electrolysis has changed their lives. Some say they finally feel hopeful after years of frustration. Others share how their confidence has improved now that they no longer need to hide upper lip or chin hair. A number of clients fly in regularly from Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok because they see real progress and long lasting results.

At HairFreeSG, we understand this deeply. Our team provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected and supported throughout their treatment journey.
