Can I stop Soprano ice laser treatment on face after first session?

Question

I had fine hair on face . Attended first session of soprano ice laser. I could see pimple with white heads breakout after 3 weeks of treatment. I am not feeling comfortable to continue . Does the fine hair grows thicker on face if I discontinue. ?

Hey there,
Laser hair removal is done after shaving the hair. 
It is recommended that you complete the sessions and there is a possibility that the growth phase of thin hairs could have been prolonged after the first session and you could have long hairs. 
It is common to have eruptions after laser hair removal as the sebaceous glands open into the follicles and these opening can get blocked. 
This could be avoided by using an oil control solution and regular scrub.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your question and sorry that you are concerned after your laser hair removal treatment.  Of course you can stop – that is your call.  But one treatment will do nothing for your hair growth so if you are wanting laser hair removal, you need to keep going.  Having a skin breakout is not unheard of and your provider should be able to help you control this.  Good luck.
