Had my first chest treatment performed 2.5 weeks ago. Have experienced signigigant shedding but it is very patchy. My goal was to have a hair reduction not removal. Will the regrowth even out? Do you think i should continue treatments to get an even regrowth? TIA
you should wait another week. whatever doesn’t shed and is not stuck in the follicles as pepperspots (so just growing as usual) was missed. you should ask for a free touchup if there are a lot of missed patches. otherwise, just wait until next treatment and make sure they overlap.
do you know what laser and settings were used? what’s your skin and hair type?
I was like you. I had a patchy regrowth. I was aiming at a “reduction”, not complete removal.
I had my fifth last week and I have already started shedding. (I usually shed very quickly, starts within a week and lasts up until 2.5/3 weeks). But my understanding is that shedding varies on the individual.
You have to be very patient with laser. If you’re very hairy, I would assume that at least 5-6 treatments are necessary to get a 60-70% reduction (provided the technician does his/her job well).
What I’m noticing is a smoother skin each and every time, and a more “balanced” regrowth also. So, my guess is that the patchyness will go away progressively for you too. You just have to stick with it.
