I had my first Face laser session. I was asked to come back in a week for second session. Also, she trimmed the facial hair instead of shaving. I can feel the hair on my face as it is. Should I expect hair fall out or the sessions wasn't done properly. I have dark black hair and fair skin. Should I shave to remove the hair in between my sessions. Help Please!!

Answer: Shaving Between LHR treatments It will take a series of treatments to see improvement. It is completely okay to shave in between your laser hair removal treatments. Also, you have to shave within 24 hours of your laser treatment. Please see a board certified physician who specializes in laser hair removal for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Hair present after Laser Hair Removal Laser Hair Removal targets hair that is in its growing phase, not the hair that is already grown out that you can feel. The hair you can feel will be pushed out over the next 7-10 days after a treatment session. It may even seem like MORE hair is growing, but that is not the case (those are the old hairs just being pushed out). You certainly can shave between sessions and actually should shave within 24 hours prior to the treatment being performed. You will need anywhere from 4-10 treatments for the hair to be completely gone (it depends on the quality of the laser/IPL being used). Treatments are typically done every 2-4 weeks, certainly not every week. Then you need to make sure you are doing maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to keep it gone.
