Hi..got my first session of hair removal on chin today but the area doesnt seem to have cleared uo compketely as it still has tiny coarse hair. I have a fair skin with dark coarse hair growing very frequently making me threda them evry 4 days, , hence opted for laser. Pls suggest if this is how the skin looks aftrr first session or the laser hasnt been done properly? Its looking like its been shaved and nothing else.

Either laser works for Asian skin. A test spot is recommended to see your individual response.

Laser is normally used in this area unless eyes are covered with corneal shield. For limited number of hairs electrolysis is good option. You can use topical anesthetic to make it more comfortable.

It is doable and is well tolerated with the candela gentlelase with cryogenic. I have treated many religious Jewish women who wear wigs and need their hairline raised .Expect 4-6 sessions at least one month apart preferably if possible 8 weeks apart.
