What is PCOS?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects how a woman’s ovaries function. It can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and the development of multiple small cysts on the ovaries. PCOS can often lead to symptoms like acne, unwanted hair growth, weight changes, and fertility challenges. At Hibiscus Aesthetics & Wellness, we view PCOS holistically and offer solutions to manage both its physical symptoms and long-term health implications.

Common signs & symptoms of PCOS:

  • Irregular or missed menstrual periods
  • Difficulty with fertility or conceiving
  • Excess hair growth on the face, chest, or abdomen (hirsutism)
  • Persistent acne or oily skin
  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
  • Thinning hair or hair loss on the scalp
  • Darkened patches of skin, often on the neck or underarms
  • Multiple small cysts visible on the ovaries during an ultrasound

What are our offerings for PCOS?

At Hibiscus Aesthetics & Wellness, Dr. Jacinta Anyaoku takes a comprehensive and individualized approach when evaluating PCOS. She begins with an in-depth review of your medical history, lifestyle factors, and current symptoms, often incorporating laboratory testing and imaging for a complete picture of your hormonal and metabolic health. From there, she curates a customized treatment plan that addresses the root causes of PCOS while also targeting its symptoms.

Your treatment plan for PCOS may include one or more of the following:

Weight management program

Excess weight can worsen insulin resistance, a key driver of PCOS symptoms such as irregular cycles and excess androgen production. Our weight management program combines evidence-based nutrition guidance, exercise strategies, and, when appropriate, GLP-1s to help regulate blood sugar and promote sustainable fat loss over time. By improving insulin sensitivity, patients often experience more regular menstrual cycles, better hormonal balance, and reduced long-term risks such as diabetes and heart disease.

Laser hair removal

Excess hair growth, or hirsutism, occurs in PCOS because of elevated androgen levels. Laser hair removal targets unwanted hair follicles with concentrated light energy, selectively destroying their ability to produce new hair without damaging the surrounding skin. Over multiple sessions, this significantly reduces unwanted facial and body hair, offering a lasting solution that is both safe and effective. This not only improves self-esteem but also minimizes the daily burden of waxing, shaving, or depilatory treatments.

Laser acne treatment

Hormonal fluctuations in PCOS often trigger persistent acne by increasing oil production and clogging pores. Our advanced laser acne treatments, such as the Aerolase Neo, penetrate deep into the skin to reduce inflammation, kill acne-causing bacteria, and regulate sebaceous gland activity. This not only improves active breakouts but also helps minimize post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, leading to clearer and healthier skin over time. Patients often notice smoother texture and a reduction in flare-ups after a series of treatments.

PRF hair loss injections

Many women with PCOS experience scalp hair thinning due to hormonal imbalances and androgen sensitivity. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy uses growth factors derived from your own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage natural regrowth. Unlike traditional medications, PRF harnesses the body’s unique regenerative potential, improving blood supply and nutrient delivery to the scalp. With repeated PRF hair loss treatments, patients often see stronger, thicker hair strands and improved scalp coverage.
