Face Shaving between Face Laser Hair Removal Sessions?

January 30, 2024
Asked By:taralafleur in Paris, Île-de-France, France

Hi there! I have been lasering my face for about 8 years now and still have some hair left. I have been told that facial hair is harder to fully get rid of compared to body hair due to hormonal reasons. During all these years, I was advised to shave my face before each session but recently I joined a new clinique to get my face laser done and the nurse told me to not shave between sessions as it caused paradoxal hair growth. Anyone heard of this before?
