When should I shave after my first treatment? Is it advisable to wait for the hair to grow back, shed, and then shave? (photo)

The laser used on myself is the Soprano ICE The hair is growing back like it used to when can I get roughly expect it to shed ?? So this is my upper lip I have also got a bit of pigmentation from shaving it almost looks green it’s Making me question wether to continue with laser and revert back to threading it’s like a man’s stubble .
