I'm having an IPL hair removal on my face. Can I shave every day after every treatment?

LizaRivalApr 7, 2016
Hello, a few days ago I left a question about having ipl treatment on my face and was wondering if I could shave everyday after treatments, but I did not mean an ipl treatment for redness or acne, I meant having ipl hair removal. So as far as I know, people who get hair removal don't shave for at least a week after treatments in order for the hair to fall out, but I always have places to go and it's hard for me not to shave, so what will happen if I keep shaving every day after every treatment?

Thanks for your question and photo. It appears that you may be a good candidate for laser hair removal to address the unwanted hair on the back of your neck. That area can be difficult to trim in-between haircuts, so exploring the option of a permanent solution with hair removal is a good idea....

You will be fine. Two sessions not enough to create a long lasting effect. For a few months you might feel the hair to be softer and thinner and eventually, you will notice that it will be back to normal.
