over 20 sessions and it still hasn't worked! help!

ive had a lot of laser hair removal and it doesnt work, everyone tells me im perfect candidate, dark hair, good skin, i had prob 15 sessions with american laser center and it didnt work so they gave me my money back, then i went to a top place in nyc for 6 sessions and it still hasnt worked, i’m 26 year old male. is there a reason? i get my chest, abs, full back and shoulders done. there has been some reduction but minimal for 20 sessions!

  1. What kind of laser were you using?

  2. What were the settings used (fluence, spot size, pulse width)?

  3. What were the intervals between treatments?

  4. Did the hair shed after each treatment?

  5. Post a picture of your hair.

JMISR,

I noticed you are in seattle. Do you recommend any places for lhr in the NW?

You went to a crappy clinic who only cares about getting your money, not your results. That’s the main problem. Laser only works on coarse dense growth, when treated with the right laser type with good aggressive settings. When all of these factors aren’t accounted for, results won’t be achieved.

Blues3214, regarding the Seattle area, there is Cadell’s in Bellevue. That where I went after going to a place in a mall. They use GentleLASE – or at least they did when I went there last which was about six months ago.

I am a recent arrival to the area, so unfortunately I don’t have lots of info on places around here. I know there is a place in Tacoma that has really decent rates for GentleLASE, and the technician is extremely competent and knowledgeable.
