I had a laser treatment done on my arms and legs about 3 days ago and I am still feeling itchy. My skin has been inflamed and bumpy around certain follicles. How long do you think this will take to clear up?

Answer: Inflammation of Hair Follicles After Laser Hair Removal
The area treated varies from provider to provider. With the correct laser, hair removal can be performed safely on all areas of the body. I recommend you discussing your concerns with your treating physician.
It is too early to see results of laser treatment after 4 days. Laser hair removal is a series of treatments. I advise you to be patient and continue your treatments. Best of Luck!
Your hair will not change color after laser hair removal. Laser treatment will also not make your hair thick, it will become thinner. Males often need 8 or more sessions for laser treatment to be effective. You can expect 75%+ hair removal.
