Anybody have any luck with laser hair removal on face?

Yes: Sometimes it takes patience and you may have to switch lasers. It can be more difficult in women with poly cystic ovarian syndrome or those on testosterone. You may wish to discuss these with your doctor.

Yes but trial&error: Due tothe varying effectiveness of different lasers on different skin types and hair color and texture as well as the growth cycle, it may take several attempts using different lasers.

Laser Hair Reduction: Laser hair reduction of the face does work, but the effect depends upon multiple variables: skin type {lightly pigmented vs medium pigmented vs heavily pigmented}, hair color {gray vs black} and matching equipment to skin type/hair color {755nm vs 810nm vs 1064nm}. In regards to one's face, i would recommend you choose the highest qualified provider. Also: cheap ≠ good and good ≠ cheap.
