After 4 sessions of diode laser HR why i am getting denser facial hair growth and thicker hair than ever? (photo)

18laviOct 9, 2016
The machine used is asclepion diode laser technology. I have wheatish complexion and my hair growth has increased after 4 sessions. Does laser have this side effect of stimulating hair growth? I have also heard that after complete treatment more more hair grow on face in a year or two, is it true? I am scared to continue it.

Every so often, we do see an itchy bumpy rash following laser hair removal. This is usually because of irritation of the hair follicles in the treated area, and this can be easily treated with a mild cortisone preparation. I suggest contacting your Dr. for a topical solution. Best, Dr. Emer

This looks like a normal inflammatory response after your laser hair removal treatment. If you're concerned, I recommend contacting your Dr for an anti-inflammatory cream. Best, Dr. Emer

There is no need to wait longer than 24 hours after treatment. If you're concerned, I recommend asking your Dr or avoiding the lip area during your facial. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

This could be done with either electrolysis or laser hair removal. You would need a consultation with an expert who does hair line contouring.  Best, Dr. Emer.
