Hello, my name is Ranen and I am an aesthetic nurse and skin care specialist at Aesthetic Skin. Doing laser hair removal will actually reduce the ingrown hairs and avoid all the breakouts post shaving. I would recommend you giving laser hair removal a chance.

Hello, my name is Ranen and I work at Dr. Shah's office. Those "dots" on your legs also known as "strawberry legs" will go away in time. It may need a few months to a year to have those not visible.

Hello, I would wait 6 weeks for your laser hair removal treatment. As for your Lipo I would check in with your provider who did the treatment.

Patients should avoid plucking, waxing, or pulling out any hair in areas to be treated with laser hair removal at least 3 weeks prior to their treatment. As long as the hair has grown back and it has been longer than three weeks it should be fine to move forward with your next treatment.

Hello and thank you for your question. It really isn't a great idea to get a Motus treatment on skin that has been exposed to the sun. I advise my patients to wait a minimum of 2 weeks after being exposed to the sun in order to get the best results possible. Best wishes to you. Dr. T

Hello and thank you for your question. Laser hair removal could be a great option for you if you have dark hair, it does not work on light hair. I encourage you to try, it is safe and has great results. Best of luck to you. Dr. T
