Hi ladies

I was just wondering if anyone has had laser hair removal done in London and could recommend / warn me off any places. There are so many that offer this service, I don't know where to start!

Also I seem to remember some whisperings a while ago (can't remember where I heard this) that the NHS will help pay for the cost of laser hair removal for women with PCOS. Anyone else heard this / know whether it is true?

Thanks!

Don't know about London sorry. Regarding getting help towards the cost, it depends on your GP and how much it is affecting you emotionally etc.

Saks were offering half price laser hair removal if you had a letter from your GP stating that you had PCOS

you can get it covered on the NHS but it can take a while, i have been referred and you see a dermatologist then they refer you back to your primary healthcare trust (ie GP) who decide whether they want to fund it or not, a bit hit and miss but i would check it out before you go privately

P.S. I would say it was defo worth it, but even more so if its free
