Avatar f tn Laser hair removal on the face is cheap and easy these days, I did it for my eyebrow area/unibrow.
Avatar f tn Hello, I am 36, I recently had laser hair removal on my face. I got the full beard done with great results. At first I didn't see a whole lot of difference, but I had microderm abrasion done one week later to open up my pores. Now when i use a razor to shave all the hair that was lasered just comes right off with the razor. You can tell its dead hair because it doesn't pull the skin from the razor. 3 weeks later, my face is very smooth! I only had one treatment.
Avatar n tn HI - I would recommend you looking into laser hair removal. I have started sessions on my face and my results have been amazing! My hair is dark and coarse and this combination tends to have the best results. Don't knowe where you're located, but I recommend Laser Nurse for those in the New York City area. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I do not want to explain to her why mommy is in there. I had my first Laser Hair Removal Treatment on the 27th of June, next appointment is August 2nd and this time they will use numbing cream!!! I'm worried that this will be ongoing for the rest of my life because of the PCOS. My question is has anyone gone through these treatments and if so what was your success do you still do touch ups?
Avatar f tn I decided to receive laser hair removal on my face about a year and a half ago. The technician said that if I shaved I would get better results. Now I have all the little indentions as well as little while bumps from shaving my upper lip. They are extremely noticable, they told me they will go away with time and microdermabrasion. It has been some time and I have received about 8 microdermabrasion treatments.
Avatar n tn Hello, There are 5 types of laser hair removal systems. These include pulsed light, Nd YAG laser, diode laser. Alexanderite laser and ruby laser. This depends on the skin type and varies from patient to patient. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist for the skin type and then depending on that, laser hair removal can be decided.
Avatar f tn My husband had laser hair removal about two weeks ago to his beard. He developed folliculitis. The folliculitis is now cleared up and the hair on his beard is very patchy. The skin under the hair seems to be lighter than the skin that has no hair. Is this b/c the skin without hair is still healing and will blend in eventually or is it going to stay this way. Also, this was the first treatment. Will hair grow back in these spots that have no hair.
280369 tn?1316702041 Ive heard that laser hair removal really stings like someone flicking a rubber band! ouch!! Have you tried using talcum powder and a razor,it doesnt sting and prevents rash.
Avatar f tn I have very pale skin and was informed that I was a perfect candidate for laser hair removal on the face; however, the skin on the upper lip is far too sensitive for laser hair removal, whatever your skin tone. I have spent a fortune on creams such as Clinique's dark spot corrector with little effect. The issue is that the damage caused by the laser is so deep no topical solution is effective.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have been going for laser epilation for the whole body (including the face and genital area) for about 5 months. Transactions are carried out with the Alexandrite device. Normally, I have dry skin (I only have T-shaped lubrication on the face area). I am using cell renewal cream, but my skin is still not moist enough. I was using "Vaseline for Baby" before laser hair removal. It was obviously good for my skin.
Avatar f tn I am on 200mg lamictal per day as well as methylphenidate (ritalin). I got laser hair removal on my face. It was a very positive experience. No seizures (my diagnosis is JME and I get grand mals) whatsoever and no photosensitive reactions. Hope this helps you in your decision. I think it's well worth it!
1178131 tn?1282654819 I do laser hair removal. They still do the treatments while you are TTC but once you find out you are pregnant they put the treatments on hold for you....I'm not sure if it effects TTC or not...and I'm not sure the prices of other procedures. I like laser but it only works on dark hair because it zaps pigment....And I don't know how much lip costs because I got mine free with purchase of underarms..... I wasn't very much help was I .....
Avatar f tn At this point, I suggest that a laser hair removal procedure may benefit you. Firstly because this occurs on the face and certain medications may not be easily used on the face. Also, repeated shaving and tweezing may only irritate the skin and the scars and excoriations that may complicate these are definitely not welcome. Discuss the advantages of laser hair removal therapy with your dermatologist. The laser sessions may be done repeatedly depending on severity and extent of the condition.
Avatar f tn has anybody found any good products for the excessive hair growth esp. for the face? See the thing is a couple years ago I had laser hair removal on my face for once a month for a year ...... and i shaved between sessions and the laser hair removal didn't work and I am stuck shaving which really stinks.....because now I know it's because part of the PCOS.
Avatar m tn Drugs like androgen receptor blockers, androgen suppressing agents and 5 alpha reductase inhibitors are also used. Permanent means of hair removal by electrolysis and laser treatment are also useful. I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist and discuss all the pros and cons of these methods so that the best treatment for you can be decided.
Avatar m tn You could also try laser hair removal. It's expensive and a bit painful, but it would significantly reduce the amount of hair permanently. It works best for people with darker hair and lighter skin since the laser looks for the color contrast. If you do laser hair removal, you'll probably use a lidocaine cream 30 minutes before the treatment. It basically feels like a rubber band snapping on your skin. Laser hair removal requires several treatments to work.
Avatar f tn There are various methods like shaving,bleaching,depilatory creams,electrolysis or laser hair removal are available to remove the hair.Out of all these laser hair removal is the most long lasting.Nd YAG laser is very effective in long term reduction of hair.Risks include the chance of burning the skin or discoloring dark skin with the laser, hypopigmentation (white spots), and flare of acne. Pls consult a dermatologist/cosmetologist and discuss this with him/her. Hope it helps.
Avatar f tn Hey everybody! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 14 (2003) and since then I've been dealing with the excess body hair and it's driving me NUTS! I feel like I have to spend ALL DAY getting ready to leave the house. It takes me about an hour to pluck the hairs off my face with the tweezers, shave and then another half hour putting on makeup to cover up the shadow. I dread getting up in the morning because it's so exhausting.

682777 tn?1226687522 This is unique because it is relatively painless and unlike the laser hair removal process, IPL works equally well on most skin pigmentations without removing any of the pigment. IPL hair removal is reported to safely and effectively eliminate hair of all colors: blond, red, brown, black and even white. There are differences between laser and IPL. In IPL the intense light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted into heat.
