Treatment Options
There are many medical and non-medical treatments available and there are also several avenues of advice and support that are open to you.
Who can I ask for advice?
- GP
- Nurse
- Pharmacist
- Beautician / beauty therapist
- Patient support groups (e.g. for PCOS, menopause)
- Friends and family
The We Can Face It campaign encourages women to feel confident when speaking with their doctor about management and treatment options for their condition. It is important to be prepared when you talk to your GP so try writing down details of your symptoms as well as your feelings and emotions so that you can explain the full impact of unwanted facial hair on your life. It is important that you share as much as possible with your doctor so that they can provide advice and support that is most appropriate to you.
Remember: Be persistent and if you are not getting the advice you want then consider approaching alternative healthcare professionals.
