Hi, guys!
I ve just had my first HLR yesterday. I got the full body treated. The practitioner was very nice and friendly I am definitely going back for a second session. She has a long experience and made me feel very comfortable. However,for being my fist time, a few things came to my concern.
I shaved my body prior the treatment,but there were some little short hair left unshaved here and there. I was expecting that she will use a razor to shave what was left on top of the skin before go over with the laser-but she didn’t.She said it’s ok.
She was starting with high settings for each area( which I don’t know)but cause it hurt , she put them down for me. Should I ask her to keep the settings high next time, no matter how much I scream?
During the treatment there was a lot of redness, and she said that means that the follicles have been affected by the laser.
Today is the first day after the treatment and I still can see some redness( which is normal) but also can see some white areas -does it mean that they have not been affected or that she wasn’t overlapping them properly?
She said that I need to go again in 6 weeks, but to me it seems too soon.Should I wait at least 8-10 weeks?
I am white male, 31 years old.
I got the full body treated.It took almost 3 hours{ my back doesn’t take much time, cause is not very hairy yet :)}
Skin type - 2-3
Laser- Cynosure laser Alexandrite. A new machine considering that clinic opened 6 months ago.
I will see whether all the hair will star shedding any time soon!
Tnx
