I have had the same problem, only have been doing treatments for three years and continued as I felt it was my only choice because now what was a few stray dark hairs on my face is now full of fine dark hairs that are longer and more obivous than when I started. I even have slight change in the way my skin feels when I touch it. The research I have done on my own have indicated that perhaps what I have is paradoxical hypertrichosis after laser epilation. There is more and more poping up on the internet about it, but this was never disclosed to me before I started my procedure. I have fair skin and dark hair. They told me I was the perfect candidate for the hair removal.

I am planning to try electrolysis, instead of laser. People say electrolysis has been in the market long enough to see even the side affects of it. I will consult my dermatlologist and will get a reference to a good electrologist. Most of the websites say good electrologist is key for electrolysis or else it might leave permanent pits and scars on the face. From many reviews online, looks like it works but it is a very long commitment and painful process.But I still have a question at the back of my mind, "Even though electrolysis is painful and long process people will prefer that if it gurantees permanent hair remeoval, but then why are most of the people going for laser still"..Just this question makes me think to go for electrolysis. I will consult my doctor and update if you are interested.
