Asked By:panzer67 in Ohio, IL

Hello im a guy that has coarse mustache hair that is so dark it can be seen under the skin. Im white and the shadow of my mustache stands out like a sore thumb because its so dark on my face compared to any other facial hair. I had laser hair removal on it 2 days ago when will the hair start to fall out? Also it looks like the hair stopped growing and is under the skin so how is it going to come out? I have been exfoliating it everyday. I shave against the grain but my lip bleeds and still dark.
