No Results Obtained After 5 Sittings of Diode Laser Plus 6 Sittings of Yag Laser, What to Do?

ArunaagarwalSep 19, 2012
I have already taken 11sittings for facial hair removal but hair growth comes again with in 2months of the treatment. I am having dark toned skin. I am feeling increase in hair but texture of hair has changed to finer side. I am 20years old female of Asian Origen. I have already consulted with endocrinologist and have got all possible blood tests done. All the reports are normal. Pelvic ultrasound is also normal. Should I keep on getting laser done after every 3 months

Thank you for your question. Although it is not dangerous to wax, you will not see the best results. You will not benefit from hair removal as much if you are waxing.  Waxing interferes with the stages of hair growth and this will make it more difficult to permanently reduce your hair...
