I have taken 5sessions of diode laser for facial HR (Asclepion laser technology) which has worsened my hair growth. I have got to know that it is called paradoxical hair growth. Is it going to reduce with forthcoming sessions or shall i stop the LHR now? Is there any way to treat this paradoxical hair growth because it is very dense and thick?

Thank you for your question! Since you did not specify the laser that has been used, it is hard to make any predictions. If IPL is used, sometimes it is hard to obtain desired results. Your skin and hair type are best combination for positive results, still, you should wait few treatments to ...
I would stop treatment immediately. The face is a difficult place to treat. Facial hair is very fine and is difficult to attract to the laser. The laser might be stimulating hair growth, known as Paradoxical hair growth. I do not treat facial hair that often for this exact reason.
