I have hirsutism and for that reason I am getting laser hair removal on my breast, nipple, neck, legs, butt and bikini area. I did a laser hair removal a year ago in late May and after the session, I went on holiday and the temperatures were on average 38 degrees and 26 degrees at night for three months. I protected myself from direct sunlight but when I went outside, under heat, my left nipple and left side of the breast ached. Could heat and laser cause this pain?
This is anecdotally what I've heard but I just went in for legs, underarms, and Brazilian with a Cynosure Apogee Elite laser, and didn't feel much pain at all. Most areas I just felt the cool air blowing, and then I felt little pin pricks only on my shins, backs of knees, and bikini line. This surprised me as I thought it should hurt on every pulse. I also don't think I smelled any hair burning and don't see any redness. Should I ask the nurse to turn the settings up next time I go?
Hi, I had my third session of laser hair removal a few months back and have had an awful reaction which the clinic dont seem to know what it is. Originally it was pigmented reg patches, then I started to peel/ crust, now its turned to painful cracks in red showing all up my legs (up to my knees). The clinic (well-known) dont seem to have a clue and I really would love some help.

I have had 4 treatments of laser hair removal and each session is more and more painful. I was told African American skin and hair texture is more coarse and requires a certain laser using a higher frequency (?). My last session was excruciating and had to take a break in the middle of the session because it hurt so bad! Is this normal??? Will asking for the laser to be turned down make a difference? I am almost afraid to go back because it hurts so bad.
The day of my Brazilian laser hair removal I left the office with dark marks all over the area that was treated. Its now been 10 days since treatment and they are still there! These are marks & not raised bumps. They have not faded at all. I also have extreme irritation and pain in my anus area which was also treated. So embarrassing lol but so painful! What could be causing that? Any treatment advice? My esthetician told me this was normal and would go away. I know this isn't a normal reaction.
