Hair on your chin, jawline, neck or stomach that keeps coming back, however often you pluck, wax or shave, can be exhausting. At Luminier, hormonal hair is one of our specialisms. We build a realistic, long-term plan around your hair growth, so you can spend less time on it and feel more like yourself.
Conditions such as PCOS/PMOS, thyroid changes, menopause and some medications can raise the level of hormones that stimulate hair growth. This can cause thicker, darker hair to appear in places such as the chin, jawline, upper lip, neck, chest and stomach.
PMOS (polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) is the new name for the condition previously known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Read more on the NHS website
Because your hormones keep sending that signal, hormonal hair can be slower to respond and new hairs can appear over time. That doesn't mean laser won't help. It means your plan needs to be realistic, with the right spacing between sessions and regular maintenance built in from the start.
We'd rather be honest with you from day one. Laser is one of the most effective ways to reduce hormonal hair, but it works alongside your hormones, not against them.
We talk about your hair growth, any diagnosis, and medication that could affect treatment.
A small test area at least 48 hours before your first session, to check how your skin responds.
Laser settings chosen for your skin tone and hair, with sessions timed around your hair growth cycle.
Monika treats you every time, so she can see what's changing and adjust your plan as you go.
Once your course is complete, regular top-ups keep new hormonal hair under control.
Haven't been diagnosed? If you've noticed sudden or increasing hair growth, it's worth speaking to your GP, as it can be a sign of an underlying hormonal condition. You're still welcome to book a consultation with us at any time.

Most clients need a course of 6 to 10 sessions, and hormonal hair often sits at the higher end of that range. Many clients notice finer, slower regrowth after the first few sessions.
Because hormones can wake up new follicles over time, you'll need regular maintenance sessions once your course is complete. We'll plan these with you so they fit around your life and your budget. Results & sessions explained
We also treat all skin tones, including darker skin. Laser hair removal for dark skin
Yes. Many people with PCOS/PMOS have laser hair removal. Because PCOS/PMOS is a hormonal condition, hair may keep being stimulated over time, so you'll need regular maintenance sessions after your course to keep results consistent.
Most clients need 6 to 10 sessions, and hormonal hair often needs the higher end of that range. After your course, we'll plan top-up sessions around how your hair responds.
No. Laser reduces the hair you already have, but it doesn't treat PCOS/PMOS or change your hormones. New hairs can appear over time, which is why maintenance sessions are part of your plan.
Often yes, but some medications can make skin more sensitive to light. Please tell us about any medication at your consultation, and let us know if anything changes during your course.
Unfortunately not. The laser targets pigment, so grey, white, blonde and red hairs don't absorb enough energy. We'll tell you honestly at your consultation which hairs we can treat.
No. Plucking, waxing and threading remove the root the laser needs to target. You can shave or trim between sessions instead.
Your consultation and patch test are completely free and private, with no pressure to book. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll give you an honest plan.
