Did BBL Hero treatment permanently remove my facial hair?

January 30, 2023
Asked By:JohnieG in New York, New York

I received BBL Hero treatment for acne marks and redness. My dermatologist told me I should be clean shaven for the treatment, but he assured me it wouldn’t affect my facial hair. But as my facial hair has grown back, I’ve noticed large patches on my sides where hair isn’t growing(it’s been a few weeks). It is possible the BBL permanently removed the facial hair in these areas?

Bernard Tan, MBBS, MRCSB says:

Hi there! BBL does have the potential to damage the hair follicles in the treated area, although after 2 sessions it is unlikely to cause significant hair reduction. I do routinely advise my patients that there will be hair reduction in the treated area and I rarely treat over the beard unless...
