Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women—but its impact goes far beyond irregular periods or fertility struggles. This hormonal disorder often shows up where it’s least welcome: on your skin and in your hair. From stubborn acne to unexpected hair growth or thinning, PCOS can take a visible toll on your confidence.
At RX Rejuvenate, we believe in looking deeper—treating not just symptoms, but the underlying causes of your skin and hair concerns through personalized, hormone-conscious care.
What Is PCOS?
PCOS is a condition characterized by a hormonal imbalance, particularly an elevation of androgens (male hormones like testosterone). This imbalance affects how the ovaries function—and how your body behaves, especially your skin and hair.
How PCOS Affects the Skin
1. Persistent, Hormonal Acne
Androgens stimulate excess sebum (oil) production, clogging pores and causing deep, painful breakouts—often on the jawline, chin, and cheeks.
2. Oily Skin
Excess oil production leaves skin greasy and prone to clogged pores and inflammation.
3. Skin Darkening (Acanthosis Nigricans)
Some women experience dark, velvety patches on the neck, underarms, or groin due to insulin resistance.
How PCOS Affects Hair
1. Hirsutism (Unwanted Hair Growth)
Elevated testosterone can cause coarse hair growth on the face, chest, or abdomen—commonly distressing for women with PCOS.
2. Thinning Hair or Hair Loss
Ironically, while hair grows where it’s unwanted, PCOS can also lead to thinning at the crown or temples, similar to male-pattern baldness.
