Question

After finishing laser treatments top lip and chin hairs are thinner. What shall I continue I.e. threading or shaving??

Thank you for your question.You can shave before, during and after laser hair removal treatments. Although once finishing your treatment plan, it is advised to continue to receive maintenance treatments or touch-ups a few times a year depending on the individual. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

You can do either. The remaining hairs left after a course of laser hair removal will be short, thinner, and lighter in color. So you can chose to shave or thread them. You will also need to do a maintenance laser hair removal treatment every 6 months or so so that you can continue to treat newly developed follicles. Our bodies will constantly make new hairs throughout our lifetimes, so you will need to maintain your results with periodic treatments. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
