Backstory, I'm in college & my college has an esthetics program. Before I started here, honestly I didn't even know what that was, & just thought of it as fancy rich people spa stuff. They often needed models to practice on, I'm poor & lots of the services I had zero idea what is was (I've never been to a spa) or had had it done so my thoughts wer heck yea let me live it up like I'm rich.
Well they had this one service called prp micro needling where they took your plasma poked your face with basically a tattoo gun then massage it into your face. It's also called a vampire facial. It's very expensive & I'd never go pay to have that done, so when they needed someone to practice on of course I was like heck yea.
Well my skin does look great several weeks later & no it didn't hurt, but what I didn't think about is the fact that I have PCOS & this can cause hair growth. It's often done in the scalp to help with balding. Well with PCOS I have hair already growing on my chin & neck, & now it's gone from a little patch here & there & a few lone hairs to a straight up beard. I'm so embarrassed.
So if you ever want it done face or scalp it definitely works, but if you struggle with facial hair don't do it!!
TL:DR got prp micro needling done for free at school & now my PCOS hormal hair is 10x worse.
