I have been getting laser removal every 6 weeks for 4 years! The hair on my face is too fine, dark, and hormonal to be permanently removed so it keeps growing back. I am spending a lot of money monthly to top-up. Can I invest in a home laser device and top up myself? Does anyone have any recommendations for a good one that actually works?
I have olive skin, I tan easily and rarely burn. Dark hair. I have had consultations at two places; one uses Candela and wants to charge me $6,000 for Brazilian bikini, lower leg and upper lip. 6 treatments and 3 touch ups. The other place, is a fraction of the cost, gives the same amount of treatments but uses the Soprano Ice. I have heard it is less permanent, but I know that all laser hair removal isn't really permanent. If I am spending 6k I want to know it's because I am getting a superior product.
I had a series of 6 laser hair removal treatments for my face/neck that ended somewhere around 6 months ago. Last week I had a touch up treatment because I noticed the hair was returning and I was having to shave my face/neck every day again. In the week following the touch up treatment my face/neck look WORSE! I still have to shave every morning but even though I'm shaving and the skin feels smooth I still have VISIBLE stubble. By evening I start to get 5 o'clock shadow (see photos below).
I received laser hair removal one month ago. This was a touch up appt as I had a small patch of hair. I'm Hispanic and live in FL so my skin is tan. Immediately after the treatment the skin was slightly red + developed mild burns. I applied aquaphor. After two weeks fresh skin appeared. Problem is there is little pigment (white marks). Parts are regaining pigment but at a slow pace. Should I stay it of the sun at all times? Should I see an MD? I of course will discontinue any further treatments.
Im planning to start my laser hair removal journey. I found this offer that says they provide a free touch up session after each main session. So lets say you will have your main sessions after four weeks and in the between in 14 days after the main session you can get the free touch session.
