I want to get laser hair removal on basically my entire body except my arms. They patchtested me on the Alexandrite laser and i got a rash that lasted 2 weeks and left a mark.They said it's because of the solution the laser uses and they patchtested me with a soprano next. This is the second day and i'm got huge hives that are swallen, itchy and hurt. I used aloe and I hope they'll go away in a couple of days. They used the Alexandrite on my face and it's itchy,but i don't have noticeable hives.

Dear writer, What you are experiencing now after the session of laser hair removal, typically will resolve completely. Commonly, a mild to moderate potency cortisone cream is applied in combination with an antibiotic ointment such as mupirocin twice daily for one week to expedite resolution....
Most people need between 6-12 treatments to permanently remove most of the body hair, regardless of the type of hair you have. I find the vast majority of people do great at 6-8 treatments, although some patients come in once yearly for a maintenance treatment.
Thank you for your question. The average number of treatments needed is 6-10 sessions. Then you may require a treatment a year to maintain results. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to discuss your concerns and to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!
