I came to a decision recently to begin a course of laser hair removal treatments on my chin area, and have gone as far as booking in an initial consultation for tomorrow. I wanted to skill myself up a little on what to expect (therefore I have been reading through this forum), and I have come across various posts that warn females to stay clear of laser hair reduction methods on the face.
Now I am left doubting my decision and worried that I am only going to make things worse for myself by potentially inducing further hair growth.
Here is some background information - I am 28 yrs old and have been plagued by hereditary facial hair growth on my chin since I was 16. The colour of the hairs range from red to dark brown, and I am guessing 40-50% of the hairs are dark enough to be effectively treated by laser. All the hairs are quite thick.
My plan was to complete a course of around 8 laser treatments initially spaced 8 weeks apart, then treat the remaining lighter hairs by electrolysis. My reason for choosing laser is because I thought the area would be too large for electrolysis as it just seems like an unrealistic task treating each hair individually.
Right now I’m not sure what to do. I will go to my appointment tomorrow and talk to the therapist. They have the GentleLASE machine and the plan is to perform a spot test. I will reassess after the consultation.
Any advice/thoughts on my situation would be much appreciated.
