I have had 7 laser hair removal treatments, and my hair (which was initially very dark and thick) has reduced to a point where (while it is still growing back a bit), I am happy with it and don't feel the need to continue treatment and have the hair disappear entirely. However if I do not receive any further treatments or go for the recommended "top up" treatments, and just shave from here-on in, will my hair gradually rethicken and return to its original thick and dark state?

Answer: The hair that was treated should not regrow.
Thank you for your question. No, you can not use a laser hair removal laser to remove a tattoo as this will cause burns. That being said in my office I use the PicoSure laser. PicoSure has a short pulse duration that exceeds photothermal action and results in an intense photomechanical impact....
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can shave in between your laser hair removal treatments. You should not wax or tweeze between treatments as this removes the hair follicle the laser targets. With each treatment you can expect 20% in hair reduction. If you have any concerns please contact...
Thanks for your question. Trying to treat the hairline in this region can be tricky. Sometimes you get a paradoxical stimulation of hair growth. Also, there is a bit of "splay' with laser effect, so to guarantee a perfectly straight line is risky. Proceed with caution
