I would like to get laser hair removal on my legs. I am half Asian, half black. I have medium brown skin (the colour of a paper bag). My leg hair is black and coarse. Each follicle shows up dark, and some are bumpy or ingrown. A pic of my leg is below. Also, this pic is pretty similar, although it depicts keratosis pilaris and I'm not sure if I have that. http://dermatlas.med.jhmi.edu/data/images/keratosis_pilaris_1_111119.jpg). What kind of laser would be best for me? Thanks!
I have Keratosis Polaris all over my arm,sholders,legs and buttocks. I read that removing the hair by laser helps..does it really? And does it remove the scars from the spots - brownish spots -? Another question does laser hair removal also brighten dark areas? Like underarm and bikini areas? Thank you
I am 19 yr old indian girl .. earlier I use to shave my legs but from last 1 yr I hv seen tht the skin of my leg is getting something like red bumps n evn if I wax them I can see the hair's left please I want a solution to get rid of it
I have this skin condition since I was about 14 or 15; now that I'm 20, it still hasn't gotten any better. I went to a dermatologist before, he roughly examined it and said it was "chicken skin" (Keratosis piliaris), but I'm not sure if it is, because this happened after I started shaving. I shaved in the opposite way of the hair's growth, so I think it might possibly be razor bumps (Pseudofolliculitus barbae). For either one, I was wondering, is there a cure for this disorder? Will any laser treatment or laser hair removal help remove these from my arms and legs?
I have kp pretty bad on my upper arms and makes me very self conscious. Will laser hair removal get rid of the kp or at least make it better? Are there any other solutions for kp? I'm pretty desperate and willing to spend a good chunk of money to get rid of those bumps!
it's been almost 8 months after I got laser hair removal at a Medical Spa. All was going well until 3 weeks after my last 8th session when I got bumps and hyperpigmentation. My Derm said I had developed Keratosis Pilaris on my lower legs which I never had before. I'm not looking for your opinion on treatment options to manage KP. But I'm looking for your expert opinion on how could KP develop after Laser Hair removal. Like I said I only got this after my last 8th LHR treatment.
