Question 1

might laser hair removal be dangerous around front of the neck (lymph nodes)?

Accepted Answer

No: A laser is a single wavelength of light that does not scatter and matches the color of the hair follicle which it is aimed out. It should be purfectly safe to have done.

Question 2

i don't think laser hair removal works 4me? i received treatments 4 1yr (on my chin&neck) most it was gone then more grew back? what's wrong w me?

Accepted Answer

Laser Hair Removal: In order for laser hair removal to be effective, treatments must be done in 4-6 week intervals. Your hair does not grow at the same rate, so its important to stick to a routine schedule. Also, not all laser hair removal machines are created equal. You should see a provider who has the latest technology and experience to give you the best results.

Question 3

which laser hair removal machine to choose for the fine black hair on my face , side face , neck , chest , breasts , stomach , and my back ?

Accepted Answer

I personally use: Cynosure apogee elite the best of the best . In my opinion and my laser technician who has worked with many machines before (candela and others). It is the least painful and most effective one.

Question 4

help-i have redness & small blisters & cracks (burns?) from laser hair removal on face, neck & corners of mouth what should i use to heal w/o scars?

Accepted Answer

Ointment: It sounds like you may have some mild burns from the hair removal laser.  Any cracks or blisters should be covered with antibiotic ointment and kept clean.  Avoid any sun exposure until you are cleared by your treating physician to reduce any damage.  The face usually recovers very quickly from this type of treatment.

Question 5

is it ok to have laser hair removal if i've been taking amoxicillin for strep throat? i didn't take it today.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, should be no problem but always check with the doc responsible for the hair removal.

Question 6

can people who has vitiligo get laser hair removal done?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Actually the lighter skin makes it safer as long as hair is relatively dark.

Question 7

can you tell me about having laser hair removal done on my face. would laser hair removal be the best option?

Accepted Answer

Depends on color: Laser seeks color, so those darker and coarse hairs provide better 'target' for effect of laser to remove the hairs. Light colored fine hair is more difficult to effectively remove. Will require a series of treatments, as the hairs are sensitive only when in growth cycle (not resting phase). This cycle is treated at intervals to get all of them in their growth phase.

Question 8

can you have laser hair removal done while taking lamotrigine?

Accepted Answer

: There is no reason you could not undergo your hair removal procedure, as your lamotrigine will not result in any complications, BUT do NOT stop your medication or miss dosing, and do not worry about problems otherwise.

Question 9

when can you go out into the sun again after getting laser hair removal done?

Accepted Answer

Right away: Right away. The wavelength is different from sunlight.

Question 10

i'm thinking about getting laser hair removal done. what do i need to know before proceeding?

Accepted Answer

Multiple sessions: Laser hair removal is not a one time treatment.  Hair that will be removed must be in the proper growth 'cycle' to be sensitive.  Hairs go through stages of rest and of active growth.  Only those active are susceptible to laser removal.  This means a series of treatments are most common to accomplish your goals.
