My technician told me that one needs to get treatments every 4 months forever for laser hair removal to work at all on the Brazilian area. Is this true or is she scamming me? I have had 10 treatments so far and the results are pretty good. After 15 weeks from my last treatment just soft hair is growing back in around the labia so I am not sure sure why she would say this. Any help would be...

I went in for a consultation today at a Dr's office regarding laser hair removal; they use the G-laze. I was asking for hair removal on my back, which there is none on my mid to low, but moderate+ on the upper back. The therapist stated the importance for doing the whole back regardless of there being hair or not. I stated this did not make sense due to time, discomfort, and cost. They stated...

I have had laser hair removal done many times on my face and arms. This past time the hair fell out on my face quickly. This is the second time I've had it done on the legs and underarms. After 4 weeks the hair on the legs, underarms and arms is just sitting there. I can see just beneath the surface. They did turn up the level this time compared to last time. I've tried exfoliating several...

Hi Everyone!I hope that my question is straightforward...I'm a very youthful looking 55 years old man, with very dark hair and quite fair skin (I stay out of the sun, in order to stay youthful looking.)I have a 4in X 4in area of hair on my lower back, which I saw for the first time, when someone took a random photo as I was walking around my pool. I was not at all pleased with the way it...

I'm tired of waxing my lip & chin and wanted to do laser hair removal.  I went on a couple of consults to different places but some told me they would use a yag on me while others said i needed alex. The appointments i went to were during the same month and i'm not a beach/sun person so it wasn't like i had a tan one time and didn't on the previous appointments.  I thought...

I am a sophomore in college and i have always gotten ingrown hairs to the point its embarrassing to wear a bikini. My hair is so course and dark, and I’ve tried other methods but none have worked. My other huge insecurity would be when i was younger before i could shave (but wanted to),i would shave my belly button so i could hide it from my mom. This has resulted in years of thick black h...

I had laser done on my arms today. The technician asked me to raise my arm up so she could get a good reach while sliding the laser across my arm. The thing is: Because I had raised my arm, it was in front of my face. So when she engaged the laser across my arm, I could feel its heat on my face as well. I had a hair transplant done on my head around 5 months ago. Is there any way that the...

I currently use minoxidil and hair laser growth treatments - are both needed? I currently have a very irritated scalp and am wondering if it would be better with just hair laser treatment.

Months ago I did laser hair removal on my cheeks and chin. The hair removal was impressive, but now new hairs reappearing. And not just peach fuzz, but dark coarse hairs. the person who gave me the laser hair session said that some people don't respond perfectly to laser treatment and the hair removal will never be permanent. what about you?

I live in Las Vegas.  I have been going to get the treatments done.  I have been paying about $80 each treatment, but nothing is working!  WHY NOT?  I was told by them that i was a good candidate for the treatments.  I have sensitive skin, and wanna be facial hair free.  I wish i could find out why it is not working.  It is horribleto give away money, for...

I've found a beauty salon that claims to be able to treat blonde (and red and grey) hair with ipl due to it incorporating radiofrequency waves. When you have the treatment it doesnt feel hot, yet both the manufacturers and salon claim that it takes longer but is effective. Is there any evidence for this?

Hello. I just finished my 7 session of hair removal. I started it with two other girls. In the begging we had a slowing down in the growth but now everything is at it was before. A week ago the shop said their laser was broken and now we doubt that maybe hadn’t been working properly for a long time. All of us are unsatisfied with the results and have a lot of doubts. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am a 21 year old student with a slightly dull complexion and black hairs, middle eastern-like. I would like to do laser hair removal to get rid of hair in the area between the eyebrow, the top of the beard and the neck. Knowing that my priority is the area between the eyebrows, what is the laser that will destroy the maximum of hair in a minimum of sessions between Alexandrite,...

Over the past few years I have had a several doctors recommend laser hair removal for an area where I have a lot of skin problems but also a lot of small, dark moles. The different doctors have told me very different things about whether and how moles should be avoided in laser hair removal. I don't want to end up with burns. I am also concerned about doing anything to...

I got my 5th session of laser hair removal about 4 weeks ago, and up until then I was seeing great results in hair reduction. I am due in for my 6th and final session in about a week. However, recently (over the last 2/ 2 1/2weeks) I have noticed that hair that was once gone is growing back, particularly in the underarms, bikini area and legs. I’m quite worried and wondering if i...
