So- first time laser experience last week on December 29th.
I am a type II with very fair skin and dark coarse hair. Was treated on bikini and abdomen with a Candela GentleLase alexandrite laser, 14 joules spot size 18.
So it’s been 5 days and the hair seems to be growing in completely normally, and the roots seem to be firmly intact. Am I just jumping the gun, and shedding should spontaneous begin after 10 days, or has the laser just not worked for me?
I felt really comfortable at this clinic, they were great, answered questions very thoroughly, specialize in laser-
I realize this is sort of the starter test setting, do I just need to make sure next time that we amp up the joules?
I guess I’m just very worried and hoping that I’m not one of the few for whom laser doesn’t work at all.
