There have been a lot of unwanted hair growth on the chin and beard area as a result of PCOD .. the hair is thick and the growth is really fast. I would like to know if I can go for a laser treatment to remove the hair. And is that a permanent solution?

You should first get your PCOD treated before you embark upon any kind of treatment for facial our body hair. If the hormonal imbalances are not treated the hair growth will recover after laser procedure. Laser hair reduction is the best way to treat excessive hair growth but the underlying cause has to be addressed.

Treatment is Laser hair reduction by using Diode technology.
Multiple sessions are needed (6-8) sessions depending upon the growth of hair.
Unwanted hair is a sign of hormonal imbalance.
Few blood tests might be needed & evaluated.
Also USG (pelvis) is required to Rule out PCOD.

Laser Hair Reduction is a good option . Go for the center which has USFDA approved laser and ideally it should be done by dermatologist as in such cases you need to alter the dosage according to the response . U can not work on prefix fluency and that call has to be taken by an expert dermatologist. Results are dependent on many factors and operator , laser and the underlying condition should always be considered
