The target area is upper lip and underarm. Light sheer diode or Gentlelase Alexandrite? Thank you
Since you have had some conflicting advice, let me add that I agree that the NdYag is safest but the Lightsheer is likely a safe choice as long as you are not tanned at all. Alexandrite may also work well. The most important thing is that you are evaluated by a physician who has a lot of experience in laser hair removal.
I have done it before and never got such a problem...I am so afraid its gonna stay forever...this was my 5th time and only this time I got such a bad experience...how long does it going to be like this???does this go away at all?pls hel...which grade of burning is that???
You didn't mention when your treatment was, but assuming it was within the last few days then these look like superficial crusts or scabs. Keeping them most with aquaphor or Vaseline petroleum jelly is critical at this point. You need to apply it every two hours. You also need to VIGILANTLY avoid the sun. You can put a zinc oxide based sunscreen on as well in the morning before you apply the ointment. If they are scabs, they will peel off wiithin the next several days. Don't help it along by rubbing or picking. Be very gentle with your skin.. The skin underneath may be pink and at that time you are at high risk for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation so the sunscreen and sun avoidance are critical. If your treatment was longer ago, then these spots likely represent post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. You will need a prescription hydroquinone (HQ) and perhaps even a retinoid or glycolic acid product. These decisions can be made by an excellent board certified dermatologist with experience in laser procedures. Go to the web site for the American Society for Lasers in Surgery and Medicine as well as the American Society for Dermatological Surgery to find someone in your area. .
Hi i had a laser hair removal treatment 2 days ago and have been burnt and i am scared that i am scarred for life on my face.I have had a few treatments from this lady before but this has never happened i think its is due to the high intensity of the laser and her being under qualified.I just want to know if these scars will fade away? and how long it would take for them to fade away as my wedding is approaching and what can i do or use to make it better.Please help me i am devastated.
Given your treatment was only two days ago, these may not be spots of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation but rather superficial crusts or scabs from the laser. As Dr. Ruekle recommends, keeping them most with aquaphor or Vaseline petroleum jelly is critical at this point. You need to apply it every two hours. You also need to VIGILANTLY avoid the sun. You can put a zinc oxide based sunscreen on as well in the morning before you apply the ointment. If they are scabs, they will peel off wiithin the next several days. Don't help it along by rubbing or picking. The skin underneath may be pink and at that time you are at high risk for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation so the sunscreen ans sun avoidance are critical. If it is hyperpigmented already, then I agree with a strong HQ used twice daily as well as a topical vitamin C serum and perhaps even a retinoids or glycolic acid product. These decisions can be made by an excellent board certified dermatologist with experience in laser procedures. Go to the web site for the American Society for Lasers in Surgery and Medicine as well as the American Society for Dermatological Surgery to find someone in your area. I am quite confident you will be fine by your wedding and definitely not scarred for life.
