The picture with hair on my chin was a couple hours before my first laser hair removal treatment (3 November 2021). After 3-4 weeks I saw some changes on my skin. In the treatment area I developed some acne and red spots. On 15 December 2021 I had my second laser hair removal treatment. My skin didnt changed but only gets worse. the other picture is from today. I never had this type of acne on my chin before, does the laser activate it or are my hairfollicles infected? how can I get rid of it?
I use to not have acne as a kid, but when I was in high school, I had waxing done and I started getting massive breakouts. It took years to control my acne. I now thread. I still get a little bit of acne from threading, but I take anti-histamine 6 hours before and it helps. Now, I want to get laser hair removal done on my face. My skin is light with thick dark hair. I am scared my acne is going to worsen though and I am unsure what to do. I still get acne, after threading but it's not bad.

Hi, I'm a Mexican female. My acne is pretty low, but it used to be a little moderate. I once used a hair removal cream for the face, and it made me breakout in my cheeks(it never happened b4). For about 6 months, I went w/my dermatologist, & began washing my face every morning with Benzoyl Peroxide (10%), dabbing on Clindamycin Phospate Topical Solution (1%) 2x a day on red bumps, and Retin-a cream (0.05%) every night. I asked her if it was safe if did do the laser hair removal and she said yes.
Hi, i have recently purched the illuminage precise touch laser hair removal device from Sephora. The instructions state that i have to discontinue the use of all AHA/BHA chemical peels, Salicylic acid, glycolic acid & lactic acid products 2 weeks prior to treatment. However these products are a must to keep my skin from breaking out (especially my cheeks). I am only treating my chin/neck area, so do i have to discontinue the use of these products ONLY on my chin/neck, or over the full face?
I am a male 34 years. I started having monthly full body laser hair removal 4 months ago. I am noticing I have pimple breakout all over my body after each laser session and is getting worse. Doctor instructed to us Elica cream after laser treatment but still. I see mixed colored pimples white and red. The worst are on my legs and thighs (see photo). Im also using AHA 20% body lotion with little improvement.
Please help. My face has Brocken out in severe acne and worse so I can't keep my hands away from it. It's swollen hurts and is getting deeply infected and scared. I am afraid I'm Slipping into depression. This week was very hard. Please help!
