I'm considering getting laser hair removal on my upper lip and chin. I'm a Caucasian female with fair skin and dark hair. If I'm not mistaken, alexandrite and diode lasers are most effective for my skin/hair combination. I'm really worried about hyperpigmentation though. Which type of laser is the least likely to cause changes in pigmentation? Are some types of lasers safer than others?
Your risk of hyperpigmentation is very small because of your fair skin. If the laser parameters are properly chosen and if the laser has a built-in method of cooling the skin surface ( such as the cryogen spray in the Candela GentleLase -an alexandrite laser) then there would be nearly zero risk.It is important that you choose an experienced Dermatologist for your evaluation and treatment
I've read that laser hair removal is more effective when combined with Vaniqa yet a plastic surgeon told me today I should stop using the Vaniqa before I start laser hair removal because Vaniqa slows the hair growth cycle. Thoughts?
Yes, you can combine Vaniqa and laser hair removal sessions and continue taking Vaniqa. However, if the laser hair removal works you should be able to stop soon!
hello doctors i looking for a good treatment for remove hairs in my face because my age 23 but am looking like older because of hairs i decided to remove this hairs in my face....please give me a good suggestion
laser hair removal is a great options, but it also depends on the color of your hair. if they are brown / have some pigment there is a higher chance of success. there is also a prescription cream called Vaniqa which slows hair growth.
