When shaving your hair it doesn't grow back thicker, it's an illusion. When you shave you cut the hair on an angle so it may appear thicker and coarser. If you are getting laser hair removal on your neck, it is absolutely OK to shave. We recommend shaving in between treatments and not waxing or tweezing as those processes remove the hair follicle. Laser hair removal targets the pigment in the growing hair follicle. At any given time only a small number of hair follicles are growing, the rest are dormant. We recommend having at least 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to effectively target the maximum number of hair follicles. Think of it more as a thinning process. Good luck, I hope you achieve you're after!

Thank you for your question! You need a combination of treatments, including laser, chemical peels, microneedling, etc. Make an appointment with an expert to get personalized treatment. Good luck!
Thank you for your question! What happens after first few sessions is that existing hair is falling out. If your hair growth did not slow down and if your hair became thicker, then you may be experiencing reverse effect when laser treatment encourages hair growth. This happens with number of ...
Thank you for your question! I recommend you to go back to the provider who did this to you and seek some answers and reimbursement since s/he needs to know that hair laser will burn the tattooed skin. Best of luck!
