I have bought a laser to use at home and have been using it for under 2 years. it has been effective for my bikini area but not for my underarms. I have been doing it every 2 weeks, have even bought numbing cream so I can laser for longer at the greatest intensity and still nothing. It has slightly thinned out since before the journey but not enough at all. Please help
I'm a male with fair skin and dark hair. I have quite a lot of coarse body hair, which I recently purchased an at-home IPL hair removal device for. I would like to pre-treat with EMLA 5% lidocaine, but read about overdose & deaths in my research. My question is: What's the safest amount of area to apply it to at a time? One whole leg? I'm rather thin and 5'7, so one leg wouldn't be too much surface area. I would do a different body part each day this way for overdose safety. Thank you!
I went and got laser hair removal on my vaginal and anal area. It didn't leave any marks but it burns to go to the bathroom really bad. I also just randomly started bleeding . Heavier than spotting lighter than a period. I have been putting aloe an antibiotic over the counter numbing cream, and a prescribed nystatin cream. Also have been sitting under the fan with my legs spread. But why is my outer labia kind of wrinkly and how do I get my normal soft skin back. It was not like this before.
I was ok after my first laser hair removal.. But to ensure the technician was thorough this time, I marked my body with black eyeliner. I asked the technician multiple times if that was okay & she said it was fine. (As per technician's instructions) I had advils & applied Amila numbing Cream, so I didn't feel anything while it was happening. In conclusion, I now have 100s of burn on my neck, shoulders, breasts & tummy. The painful burns are bleeding & oozing with some scars already forming.
I read an article that since it affects the blood vessels and surrounding area, you do not get as good of results. I have had it both ways with significant time in between and feel like it is true for me, and makes sense, but I also used different types of lasers. I would like to know what other doctors think. I also do not feel it really helped with comfort that much, more of a mental thing.
