It was the best decision I have ever made it has worked. I also take spiro. The woman i go to has PCOS and she isn't there to make money. She won't make any promises she told me to take the spiro and when the hair is growing back to come and see her. The two together SHOULD work. It doesn't work on everyone she told me its 10% that it doesn't work for. I like everyone here have tried everything under the sun, and i could not stand electroylis. Painful and hair would grow back so quickly. My last treatment was in Decemeber and so far so good. I think you should check around not only for prices but for a place that they listen to your needs and u never know u might even be able to get a discount because if they know u have PCOS they will realize that you need to come more often than someone who just wants their eyes brows lasered so they have the perfect eye brow. Hope u get the idea. I got a discount because she knew my troubles. Take care all the best to you!! --Vicki--
