Laser hair removal works great for permanent hair reduction of the body.  The diode laser is a safe and effective choice in treatment.  Ideally, you want the patient to have a continuous , uninterrupted series of 6- 8 treatments.  Or, whatever the number of treatments recommended by your laser hair removal provider.  To "take a break" from the treatments you could actually delay the amount of reduction achieved.  You may even find that you end up needing more treatments then originally expected.  As always, check with your treatment provider to guide you on the right direction.

That's a great question. Without seeing this in person or taking a biopsy, it is difficult to give a diagnosis. My best suggestion is to make sure that the physician that provided the treatment is aware of what you are experiencing.  I hope this helps.

That's a great question! You absolutely can have additional Botox injected if needed. Botox around the lips is very common but uses a much smaller dose than other areas that are treated.  It is not unusual to require additional units. I hope this helps!

That's a great question. From the picture you provided, it appears to be hypo-pigmentation which is a loss of pigment. I have seen this happen after a burn from a laser treatment. My best recommendation is to make sure that the overseeing physician from the practice where you were treated is aware of what happened and what you are experiencing. I hope this helps!

This is a great question! There is no limit to how many areas you can treat in one day. Check with your local Certified CoolSculpting Practice on availability and if they offer dual sculpting.  If the practice has more than one machine you can treat 2 areas at once and decreases your total treatment time in office.  Make sure you look for the newest technology (which is 35 minute treatment applicators and less downtime) Good luck with your treatment!
