Ok, I'm looking for anyone who has taken electrolsis (the good one where they make ou hold something wet for the electrical current) and has had it work. They say electrolysis is the only PERMANENT hair removal. But what I want to know is if it's possible for PCOS women. And if so, how many treaments did it take.

I've never heard of "holding onto something wet" for electrolysis...

Whatever kind I've been having, it has been pretty effective. Hairs grow at different rates (I've been doing areas that I was already removing hairs via other methods), so it takes several passes to be completely "hairless" in a particular area. It does take longer than you'd think to do an area. Much longer. But it is permanent, at least it has been for me.

Laser was not even moderately successful.

I have a moderately noticeable problem with hirtuism, taking propecia (.5mg) and spiro (100mg) daily for help with that (along with metformin...).

Good luck!
