PCOS—laser or electrolysis?

So, I have a pretty dense beard with very thick, dark, coarse hairs due to PCOS. I don’t pluck (it would take me literally hours to pluck it all), so I have to shave every day.

I started electrolysis a few weeks ago. It’s fairly apparent to me it’s going to take some time, which is to be expected. I’ve never tried laser because I have been terrified of it making the hair growth worse. However, I am considering stopping electrolysis, trying laser just to reduce the density, and get electrolysis for what is left over. I have very fair skin and jet black hair so I know I’m a good candidate in that regard, but I also am just worried it’ll make it worse. What would folks suggest based on your experience?
