What results should I expect after the first laser hair removal season of bikini area with soprano laser?

speckuOct 19, 2016
I did an underarm test patch with the soprano alma laser and was amazed that after 1 treatment I looked almost hairless! So I went back and my underarms have responded well with hair falling out after a labour 10days. However, the bikini area is t as impressive. The inner area which was a little painful and sensitive during treatment doesn't seem to have helped. Hair appears lighter but hasn't fallen off in that area.

It always takes a series of treatments for Laser Hair Removal and is dependent on each individual. You are getting results, it just seems as though you require more treatments for maintenance. See an expert in laser hair removal for best results. Best, Dr. Emer

I would stop treatment immediately. The face is a difficult place to treat. Facial hair is very fine and is difficult to attract to the laser. The laser might be stimulating hair growth, known as Paradoxical hair growth. I do not treat facial hair that often for this exact reason

It is uncommon to have blisters after laser hair removal. It is normal to have swelling around the hair follicles (follicular edema). Having some pain is normal. I suggest you discuss these concerns with your treating physician.

It appears you are having a standard reaction to laser hair removal. Inflammation of the follicles is a normal side effect. It should resolve in the next few days. You can apply a topical steroid cream for the irritation or itching.

The area treated varies from provider to provider. With the correct laser, hair removal can be performed safely on all areas of the body. I recommend you discussing your concerns with your treating physician.
