Facial hair growth after CoolPeel

Question

I had coopeel done 4.5 months ago. Amoung the many side effects i have experienced, I now have fine light hair all over my face that was not present before. I am 48, female, light skin. Will this go away on its own? Not sure if facial hair sheds/turns over. Thanks.

CoolPeel is a type of fractional laser treatment that aims to improve skin texture and appearance. It's unusual for such treatments to cause new facial hair growth. However, changes in hair growth can sometimes occur due to hormonal fluctuations or other unrelated factors.

In many cases, fine, light facial hair may shed on its own over time. However, if the hair growth persists or if you find it bothersome, it might be helpful to consult with a dermatologist to explore potential causes and treatment options. They can provide guidance on whether this change is likely to be temporary and suggest appropriate management strategies if needed. If you have any concerns about your recent CoolPeel treatment, it’s also a good idea to discuss these with the practitioner who performed the procedure.
