Hello!
I had 2 test patches done on my stomach by 2 different laser folks. My skin is pale with very dark, coarse hair. The first place told me that some hair would shed immediately after my test patch. I hadn’t heard of this before, I was under the impression that it would take weeks to shed. At any rate, she was right, I had about 20 hairs rise to the surface right after she treated me. She wiped them away with a damp cloth, & I only had minor redness that night. More hairs shed within the next few weeks.
The second test patch I had done on the stomach did not have immediate shedding after the treatment. I asked the laser tech about this & she suggested maybe the other laser place used a machine that had suction on it… although I don’t think it did. This second test patch was also a tad red, but there were also some minor bumps. They went away within a few days, so it wasn’t a big deal.
I’m wondering which treatment may have be more beneficial? The second place told me that machines with suction that pull hairs out aren’t better, but like I said, I don’t think the first place used suction. Can anyone offer any insight on this?
Thanks!
