Hyperpigmentation After Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal Treatment I had a full-face laser hair removal treatment done with Alex. laser about 2.5 weeks ago. About 5 days after the treatment I was exposed to the sun for around 10 minutes(without a sunscreen as I am v.sensitive to sunscreens).

The next day I noticed hyperpigmentation on my face and neck. The tech who had done the treatment said they are common and should go away in around 2 weeks- but no improvement yet. Is this permanent and how long should I avoid the sun now, as this was my LAST treatment?

A: hyperpigmentation after laser hair removal on face

See a dermatologist. Topical lightening creams with or without superficial chemical peels and UVA/UVB sunscreen and sunavoidance may help over many weeks to reduce your pigment. Avoid any irritating substance. Some people react to the hydroquinone which is the most commonly prescribed lightening cream but if the irritation persists, then cortisone may help as a topical therapy and often it is prescribed with the hydroquinone and tretinoin to lighten the skin. Other skin lighteners exist including Elure and Lumixyl, and others. Finally, Fraxel Dual may help, but with any laser a test spot could be considered prior to the full treatment. You would need a consultation to determine your candidacy for this treatment and to inform you of your risks.

Is Laser Hair Removal Recommend for Patients with Eczema? I am a 30 yo male with eczema on my back and was considering laser hair removal for my back. Is it recommended, any possible negative effects for my eczema?

A: laser hair removal and eczema

If there are erosions, open sores, then those areas should be avoided because of colonization of normal bacteria. If there are no open sores, then maintaining eczema treatment with emollients and avoiding hot water and using mild soap is important before and after the laser hair removal.

My Laser Hair Removal Treatment Left Red Symmetrical Dots, Looks Like Measles, Is This Normal? The dots are all the same size, in even distance to one another (looks like the edges of the laser perimeters burned me perhaps), looks kind of like measles/chicken pox. They are not centered around a follicle in particular, just spaced out in even lines. Pic attached. Is this normal???

A: laser hair removal

there are many different lasers that accomplish hair removal, I'm not sure which you had but the red areas are not in every area of treated hair. It may be unique for the particular laser you had as they are very geometrically arranged.

	“Laser brazilian - best kept secret!...” I first tried laser hair removal at a well advertised and reputable place in NYC for my underarms. After six treatments, I'd say 90% has been removed. The remaining are very sporadic and fine - so not a problem. But I was a little concerned that each time I went, they used a different machine on me - sometimes laser, sometimes IPL. I'd say I'm 8 out of 10 in satisfaction. So when... more

	“Post Treatment Pimples and Whiteheads” I used to have very coarse hair on my bikini line, thighs and legs and very bad in-growths as well--I couldn't shave or wax. I also has coarse hair on my chin and noticeable hair on upper lip and about 4-5 thick , isolated hairs growing on my neck.I first went to a doctor who said that Alexandrite laser was good for my skin (that was the only machine he had). Alhtough I had only villous hair... more
	“Laser Hair Removal Was Worth It” Pros: Freedom from shaving and waxing: Freedom to wear what you want, without having to worry about unwanted hair. Cons: It hurts a lot but the results make it worth it!! It is a lot of money in the short term, but if you look at your long term waxing costs, you are definitely spending much less. more
	“It Didn't Work for Me.” I had it done about 3 years ago on underarms and bikini area and it seamed as though it was working at first. It took about 10 treatments on each area and after about 3 years 80% of the hair is back. It is slightly thinner but nowhere near gone. more
	“The Best Option Available for Me!...” I have pale skin but dark hair. I used to bleach the hair on my upper lip, but started to have a reaction to the bleach. I also got an infection from the bleaching that stained my skin for a year! To top it off, I still had a moustache...just a golden blond one... So I tried waxing. I lost the feeling in my upper lip and had an infection again, it was awful! So I decided to try Laser hair... more
	“Man and Laser Hair Removal” I have had seven treatment so far on my back, shoulders, chest, stomach and buttocks. Very good results so far. The hair that has grown back are thin and light. American Laser Centers guarantees results for up to two years. I am hopeful that the eight session will get rid of the remaining hairs for good. I am going to do my legs next. My goal here is for hair reduction and not removal. As a... more
	“Love It, Even Though Some Bad...” I first tried laser and IPL hair removal when it first came out, I love trying new beauty solutions. I got a free session somewhere for underarms in the late 90's. Loved it. But it wasn't until 2 years ago I started getting regular treatments. I started during Spa Week, a week when many spas do $50 treatments, so I got my underarms done. My favorite was The Skin Spa in NYC, very nice people,... more
	“12 TX - Male Beard - DISASTER -...” I had laser hair removal on my beard. 12 treatments over the course of two years. Now I have large patches all over my face like a checkerboard. I look like a freak. Men do not get laser on your beard!! The patches only get worse with more treatment. I complained to the clinic and they tell me this is normal?! They just kept telling me to get more treatments. Then when it kept getting worse... more
	“Smooth As Butter After my Laser Hair...” Laser Hair Removal worked very well for me.Contrary to what people think about how expensive NYC really is, i got my job done at a great affordable rate and the results were fantastic too. I got it done for my chin, ears, belly button line, side burns and payed a total of around 400 bucks. It was slightly painful and uncomfortable, but when i imagied myself WITHOUT all these unwanted hair, the... more
	“Laser Hair Removal for Ingrown Hairs” My skin needed help from ingrown hair problems. I had pigmentation changes that were really ugly and frankly I grew tired of going to waxings and dropping money in exchange for ingrown hairs. I decided to get laser hair removal after hearing about it from several friends that it left them with great skin that got color back in the ingrown hair spots. The entire process on my legs cost... more
