I bought a package of 8 diode laser treatments. The technician saw my shaven underarms and said that my hair is too thick and the laser will not work for me. She then tried to sell me the medical laser that would cost me a lot more, or if I wanted to stick with the diode, I would need to buy at least 20 sessions. I decided to stick with the 8 session plan. I have white skin and black hair. After the first session I took a photo of the settings she used. Thoughts on effectiveness of settings?
I have been undertaking laser hair removal and never had problems. However, yesterday during my 3rd session I got badly burnt in my arms only. The settings were the same as used in previous sessions - 19J/cm2, 40ms, 1,5Hz, 755nm. Can you please tell me what should I do to help to heal as fast as possible? I'm terrified with the idea of having to wear long sleeves all summer. How long should it take for the skin to become ok again? Thank you so much for your help in advance!!
My 1st time lasering - underarms went fine, but my Brazilian resulted in dark purple patches and streaks of what looks like bruising? She said she would use a higher setting on me bc it was my very 1st time. I'm Asian with olive/tan skin, Type IV. There are other spots that look like burns & some of the streaking looks like scabbing the day after. The esthetician said lasering shouldn't bruise, but maybe the setting was too high? Please advise with any help so that I can prevent this next time!
I am halfway through a 6 session course of laser hair removal. My hair falls out 10-20 days after each session, but most of it grows back shortly before my next session. I just have a few hairless patches that remain. My technician has been using a fluence of 7 on the Soprano Ice laser machine, is this too low for results? I have pale skin and dark hair. Thank you in advance.
The area is not hot to touch. It is not something I can feel when I touch it. It does not hurt. This was my fifth session out of a total of eight and the laser beam strength has increased since. I have been seeing results but never had I seen this. I am concerned. Please tell me what this may be. I have oil skin; as is, my bikini area and vaginal area is darker, Im hyperpigmented. What could this be?!
hello i'm a girl with coarse and fine hair mixture and a skin type 2 or 3. I want to do LHR with diode laser but how can i be sure about the settings of laser hair removal machine if this is right and effective? can a laser machine be operated in some settings which leads to less hair reduction or more needed sessions?
I was just severely burned on my inner lip of my vagina and buttocks area on October 5th, my 10th treatment. It was the first appointment I've ever screamed so hard when she hit that particular area, and it felt like she didn't use any cold air there & she carried on to burn my butt cheeks. She mentioned that after my 10th treatment I shouldn't have to shave as much and had to crank my settings up. I have since started to bleed clumpy brown discharge and lots of heavy heat and pain.
I've received several laser hair removal treatments in the past. I recently went to a new provider who must have had the laser at a low setting because after 4 days hair is growing back and not falling out like after my prior sessions. How long do I have to wait until I can safely return for more treatment? (this question is about safety, not the ideal 4-6 week wait time)
I just had laser hair removal 4 days ago. I've had no issues with my Brazilian laser hair removal but my underarms have dark spots and they feel tender to the touch. Is this normal or should I have them adjyst the laser to a lower setting next time? One underarm seems worse than the other...
Hello. I am treated with candela gentle pro. To my understanding, since only hairs that are in a specific stage of their life cycle are being removed, does it make a difference if as an example the power setting is set to 10 or 12 ? Thank you
