I had one IPL session for acne redness 3 weeks ago. I didn't shave prior to treatment (since I just don't like shaving) and just trimmed my facial hair short (about half an inch). A diffuse area of my beard was singed and looked curled. Most of curled hair, kept growing for about a week. Then, some started to fall out. I shaved out of panic. The treated area looked bare for a week. Now I see some short fine hair+small black dots in close look.The wavelength was 480 nm. Skin type III-Dark hair
I believe patches of my hairline were burnt during a full face session. The hairs were not shaven down like they were supposed to be so I'm wondering how damaged my skin is? I also feel a shooting pain in one of the patches as well and it has lasted throughout the day. Another piece was burnt in the middle of my hairline and it looks like I might end up having a bald spot, I was wondering if there's a chance that the hairs might grow back and burns will go away?
Hi I'm male age22 I have done 1 ipl treatment for rosacesa and to get rid from acne . Post treatment I start noticing I lost alot of facial hair and my beard looks patchy I asked doc. he said it will regrow again after 2 month .now it's 5 months and it's regrowing but not all areas & hair which regrows is looks thin. is it really going regrow and looks like before I'm worrying because I asked the doc he said It will regrow because this setting only for to get rid redness not for hair removal
I did IPL on my face. I had a few hairs on my sideburns but did half face. I now have a full on beard due to stimulated hair growth. I then went to SKIN at harley street &had 13 lazer sessions, the beard did not go. I then went to another clinic that uses the ALEX machine and have had 2years of lazer on my face&body. Though finer on my face, the hair has only come back THICKER on my arms! I apparently do not have a hormone imbalance as tests suggest. PLEASE someone tell me what the problem is!
I only had 4 sessions of IPL. Than I decided to stop. The hair obviously grows, some are thick as before, others are thinner and I have completely bare areas where I can't see the follicles. It's patchy and I hare it. If I stop shaving it completely (and no more treatments of IPL of course) will they grow back again? Will the thinner hair remain thin and the bare parts bare? I tried to grow them out and I didn't touch them for two months but it was such a mess. I'm desperate
I did 8 sessions of ipl treatment the doctor said it after 8 session hair won't grow but after that treatment I still have hair on my armpit what should I do he said to countinue the treatment but its kinda expensive should I countinue? Thank you!
I'm planning to buy one of those home IPL for hair removal since I've had professional laser a year ago and I still have more growing. Can I use home IPL even if their energy equals 6 or 7 joules only? Would that stimulate fine hair to grow instead?
