I guess I learned the hard way that hair follicles help the structure of the layers of your skin. Now that I have less hair on my face, there is pits and some scaring which appears to several pits close together.


Its really undermined my confidence in lasers. It make me wonder if they have a deeper effect on the fat and underlying tissue because of the pits and the fact the nasolabial fold is now visible.

I still hope to hear from other men about their experience.

Great review?

There was a doctor who commented on my post, but that post has disappeared. I am disappointed that the doctors comment is gone because I appreciated the thoughtful response and it made me believe that my effort on this website would eventually be helpful to someone.

Kristy,
I posted in hopes of finding others with similar experiences. I think a specific discussion about men facial hair removal by lase could give people insight.
