I would like to get laser hair removal on my face, but I'm worried that shaving the hair will have it grow back and be more visible until the treatment if completely done, since it does take a while to completely finsij
Answer: Laser Hair Removal on face Hello, It is a myth that the hair will grow back thicker if you shave the face. The hair does however need to be dark in color for the laser to be able to see it. It is always good to shave 3 days post laser treatment to help exfoliate and prevent ingrown hairs if your hair is thick?

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Facts--takes a series of treatments It has been reported that some of the laser technologies used to remove hair, have indeed induced hair growth at lower settings. I recommend you use laser such as the Diode, alexandrite and yag laser for optimal results. It will take a series of treatments. I typically have patients do every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. See an expert in laser hair removal for best results. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Thank you for your question. It is a myth that the hair will grow back thicker if you shave Thank you for your question. It is a myth that the hair will grow back thicker if you shave. However, it is important to not tweeze or wax as it removes the hair follicle that the laser targets. Please remember it typically takes 6-9 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart to 70-90% reduction and annual touch-ups may be needed. If you have any other concerns please follow up with your treating physician. Best of Luck!

Answer: The Old Wives' Tale is WRONG... Thanks for your question. It's an old wives' tale that shaving will make your hair come back thicker, darker... Shaving is actually good for your skin turnover and texture. Why else would women pay for dermaplaning? it will take a series of treatments to reduce your hair production. LHR treatments deliver a burst of energy to the hair follicles that are actively growing. The energy destroys these follicles ability to produce another hair. The hair shafts in those follicles will release and fall out over the next 1-3 weeks. Other dormant hair follicles start producing hair every day. It takes a series of at least 6 treatments to get most the hair growth. Generally speaking, you should look for a facility where they have a doctor on staff and is usually there to answer questions. Find out what type of machine (laser vs. IPL) they will be using. A properly calibrated laser is usually much more comfortable than an IPL. Using the correct settings for your skin type also makes it more comfortable. Sorry to say, probably the most expensive treatment is probably the best.Best of luck
