I had my first session of laser hair removal on my bikini area. The clinic used the Cynosure Apogee Elite- yag (I am fitzpatrick II/IV). The treatment was 7 days ago and I haven’t experienced any shedding so far. Should i be worried?
YOU WONT notice the hars as they shed. If you are lucky maybe one or two will show up on a perfectly white pillow. It’s normal, they just come out during the day as you are doing things and you have no way of knowing short of bagging yyour face, which would make it kind of difficult to breath…
The hairs will appear to be growing. If you take your fingers and grab one a lot of them will pull free. You can tell which ones the laser worked on. It takes at least a week for them to loosen up.
You should wait at least 3 weeks to determine shedding… don’t feel discouraged yet.
One whole section has almost entirely shed but i have a full trail that has shed only 20%. I’ll let the Aesthetician know at our next appointment. I am wondering if she needs to adjust the settings for that area.
