A member asked:

Why do my baby hairs around my hairline (close to temples) grow swirly, going in towards my face? and why didn't 6 sessions of laser get rid of them?

LASER HAIR REDUCTION: Lasers only reduce the volume of hair follicles, not totally eliminate all of the hair follicles in a give area of skin treated by the laser. This is due to the fact that some of the hair follicles are in a dormant state, while others are in active growth phase. Most credible laser hair reduction is done over a number of months, in order to reduce as many of the hair follicles as possible.
