Being super pale and extremely hairy (dark coarse hair EVERYWHERE) I always flirted with the idea of hair laser removal. 5 consultations later, I had finally saved up enough money and mustered up the courage to follow through. I decided to start with my legs. Immediately after, my skin felt raw and was SUPER red and blotchy. Fast forward 2 weeks later, the redness is gone but I am still very much blotchy! Help! Is this normal? But most importantly, will this blotchyness ever go away?
I have been having this done since 2003 and this was like my 20th plus treatment so I am not new to this procedure. The treatment felt more intense than usual but didn't think much about it until I saw the esthetician's reaction. She told me to apply alor vera gel which I have never been told before. When I saw my face I was horrified. I have tried aloe vera, hydrocortisone, Mederma. Nothing works and the scar is getting darker over time. It now looks like melasma. Please help me! Whay can I do?
The area is not hot to touch. It is not something I can feel when I touch it. It does not hurt. This was my fifth session out of a total of eight and the laser beam strength has increased since. I have been seeing results but never had I seen this. I am concerned. Please tell me what this may be. I have oil skin; as is, my bikini area and vaginal area is darker, Im hyperpigmented. What could this be?!
I had laser hair removal treatment two days ago on my legs. I had taken a medication for a cold the day before and this seems to have produced a reaction. My legs have blotchy red and white bumps that are extremely itchy. What should I do. Many thanks.
Just a few weeks ago I was getting laser hair removal for the first time on my face and neck area. My face is fine but my neck has developed very red blotches, should I stop the procedure or is this normal? Very concerned, I have been putting Cortizone on it to hopefully make it go away. It has been like this for the last couple of days. What do I do?
i just had my first laser hair removal session 2 days ago and i have now notice yellow blotches on my skin. at first i thought they were bruises but when i press down on them i feel no pain. What can i do to get rid of this? can it be treated? should i continue laser hair removal? i have got it done at quite a well known place, one of the best in my area and it was not done by IPL so i really hope this is not permanent.
