I Will Be Having my Second Laser Hair Removal Session for my Upper Lip in a Little over a Week?

Usually laser hair removal should be done 4-6 weeks apart and most patients need 6-9 treatments to see full result on the area treated. You should only be shaving, no wax,tweeze, or threading the area so the hair follicle is just below the skin. 

 

 

Hi Nona.  We have a couple concerns.  The first is that you should not be having laser hair removal treatments one week apart.  The treatments should be 6-8 weeks apart to give hair the proper amount of time to grow in if it has been in a resting phase or if it fell out after the last treatment.  

The second issue is that you should not expect all the hair to "pop out" after laser treatment.  Although some of it will, it is not always expected that all the hair will fall out after treatment and your physician should have told you that you need to clip or shave the area in between treatments rather than plucking, waxing or pulling it out.  Good luck.

Great question,

I would suggest shaving the area in between session of your laser treatment (no tweezing or waxing), also make sure you are going to qualified provider who does many laser treatments a day, here at my office we usually dont see the patient back for another treatment for 4-8 weeks and most patients need 6-9 treatments to see full results on the area.. Best of luck

Thank you for you question. First, I am concerned that you are receiving laser treatments so close together. Treatments should be spaced out every 6 to 8 weeks. Also if you are getting laser hair you should be allowed to shave the area to avoid these embarrassing hairs that are bothering you between treatments. I suggest consulting with one or two facilities in your area ( if you live in Arizona come see us) and getting a second opinion on your options before proceding with treatments.
