Fraxel Restore: there is always a ‘catch’ when it comes to anything plastic surgery or the promise of amazing results

I don’t know why maybe it was the swelling.. it’s been over 2 weeks and my facial hair is returning but definitely slowly..I was very scared that the hair on my upper lip would never return. I wasn’t prepared for this outcome but thank godwits coming back. I would say after 2 weeks it looks like my regular maybe 3 days of growth. My skin looks super great, the treatment made many improvements. I did read that some guys had patches of facial hair that didn’t return after fraxel restore but then I also read that fraxel does not affect hair growth whatsoever. This was my experience, I’m glad it is looking like it’s resolving.

Let me start by saying in my experience there is always a ‘catch’ when it comes to anything plastic surgery or the promise of amazing results. I also unfortunately tend to be the type of person if something could possibly go wrong it does. Firstly, Peau in Montreal is amazing and has one of the best if not THE best dermatologists in town Dr. Khanna. The treatment provider Vanessa is also incredible and very warm and nice. The treatment itself was tolerable and the results it provided for my skin are really great. Smoothness, even skin texture, that ‘glow’- everything I was looking for. I noticed after about a week that my facial hair was growing in everywhere except my mustache. I thought maybe it was just slow because I always have a short beard and shaved it off for the treatment. It’s been two weeks now and I would say about 30% of my mustache has grown back. Like I said my skin looks great but I really am worried as I prefer myself with a beard and it’s like a thin 5 o’clock shadow and about my usual 2 days of growth. I don’t know if this will resolve itself over time but I searched the internet and 95% of places say ‘will not affect beard growth’ until suddenly I came across a doctor saying that it can cause permanent follicular loss, due to the swelling which damages the hair follicle, and the best solution is a hair transplant! There is very little literature that says this, but it’s been reported. I wish I would have known beforehand that this could be a possibility So, if you’re a guy and wear facial hair, take this into mind.
