Default Uk Campaign to get Laser/IPL treatment on NHS

Hi everyone

As I am sure many of you are very well aware, excess hair (Hirsutism) can have a huge affect on a woman's self esteem and this is a very sensitive issue that often gets dismissed or handled insensitively.

I am one of a group of women with PCOS who are trying to campaign to get laser/IPL treatment offered on the NHS (British National Health Service) countrywide (at present this treatment is only offered in a handful of areas in the UK). If anyone is interested in supporting this campaign, please visit the PCOS Equality campaign website www.pcos-equality.org.uk and follow the link to the petition.

(You do not need to suffer from PCOS to sign the petition, any signatures will be appreciated, so please feel free to ask your friends to sign too!)

Thanks very much for reading.

I've signed. I wish this could happen, good luck with the campaign.

I dream of standing in a whole laser tube and all my excess hair getting zapped and NEVER growing back - heaven!

Thanks for signing (both of you)!! We are trying to get more signatures but to be honest the petition has only been online less than a week, and so far has had no real publicity! Please spread the word if you can!! Thanks
