Asked By:rosap1986 in Epping, NH

I had a Marilyn Munroe beauty spot above my lip (had it since i was 4 years old) I recently did laser hair removal and specifically said do not laser it as i do not want it to be removed. After laser it turned into a scab and has fallen off. I'm so upset, it’s been my trademark since i was very little and my mum has one in the exact same spot. Will it come back? The laser they used is called Candela.

Robert G. Aycock, MD, FACS says:

Before your next treatment you should address which areas you do want treated. The provider and patient should be on the same page about the treatment plan.  Your hair will reduce with each treatment. If you let the areas grow it should grow back since there were only two treatments.

Better for olive skin; Sharplight Omnimax vs. Soprano XL (or ice)?
Hardik Soni, MD says:

South Asian and ethnic skin can be tricky to treat especially on the face. Given that it is skin type V, I prefer to use the Yag laser which is safer. The diode laser can also be utilized but with greater care since it is 810 nm as opposed to 1064 for Yag. Shorter wavelength means greater...
