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: Laser Hair Removal Facts--Takes a series of treatments Yes, you can shave the hair before your next treatment. Keep in mind it will take a series of treatments for improvement. Additional sessions may be needed for maintenance. I recommend seeing a laser hair removal expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Hair on face after laser hair removal It is normal to have hair on your face the day after you have a laser treatment, it may take up to a week for the hair to fall out. Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the growing hair follicle beneath the skin, not the hair itself. Only a fraction of hairs are growing at anytime, which is why you will need multiple treatments for permanent hair reduction. Think of it as a gradual thinning process. Before each treatment we prefer that there not be any hair present, it can be cut very close or preferably shaved. We ask that you only shave in between treatments and not pluck or wax as these remove the hair follicle.

Answer: Laser Hair Removal and Shaving Thank you for your question. Laser hair removal is done in a series of 6-8 treatments 4-6 weeks apart for the face. This is because not all your hair follicles are in the same growth cycle. Shaving between treatments will not affect your laser treatments. You should not wax or tweeze between treatments as it will remove the hair follicle the laser targets.

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.
