Facial Hair Removal on Indian Skin- Not Working. Which Laser is Best?

 I Had Laser Hair Removal Several Years Ago with a Lyra Laser- Hair Grew Back. I Now Had a Treatment with Gentleyag 3 Days ago.I am East Indian with not sure-type 4/5 skin.Hairs fell off during treatment but i now have red bumps and what feels and looks like stubble/scabs.Doctor says this is normal and are burnt hairs which will fall out. I am very nervous as this is on my face- is this normal? will black dots/scabs ,like stubble really go away?how long does it take?setting on gentleyag were 24j 30ms.is one yag better than another for hair removal?i went another place for consult and they recommended Cynosure yag?

A: Reponses to laser I particularly like the Lyra laser for type 5 and 6 skin. Obviously The dosage and other settings used will in many ways affect your results. From the picture it is difficult to see too much. however small papillated red bumps after laser surgery is usually quite helpful. Usually medical scabbing is not helpful.The Apogee laser at a longer pulsewidth Like 40 milliseconds might also be a good option for you if you don't do well with the Lyra Laser.

Paradoxical Hypertrichosis After Laser Hair Removal

I experienced Paradoxical Hypertrichosis or hair regrowth after 2 laser hair removal treatments. I cannot find anywhere whether this is a transient side effect or permanent. Will this be permanent? What can be done about it?

A: more Hair with Laser Hair Removal ! More hair with Laser Hair Removal is called parodoxical hypertrichosis and is a rare reaction to treatment for laser hair removal. I have seen it oin 3 patients. All 3 were either skin types 3 to 5. This extra hair growth will apparently remain unless treated. In my experience it seems that stronger treatments are required to reverse the extra hair growth. An experienced laser hair surgeon is required because as you increase the intensity the risk of discoloration or other side effect increases.

How to Minimize Pain During Laser Hair Removal?

I had laser hair removal in the past and it HURT!  I'm fearful of pain from my next laser treatment.

A: Less Pain Is More Gain- for Laser Hair Removal There are many techniques to lessen pain : 1) topical anesthesia- we utilize several with great patient satisfaction. 2) ice 3) other variants of cold- cold roller, Zimmer cool air blower 4) oral sedatives. 5) oral analgesics. 6) other distraction techniques. 7) although I have never used for hair removal- local anesthesia or nerve blocks - are effective in lessening pain . When we lessen the pain , the patient is happy- and will desire to have the procedure again.
