question about determining results

Hair Removal Methods Laser hair removal

I posted this in the success thread but I think it went unnoticed so i’ll just put it here if you don’t mind.

Question. I am currently 6 months post my 5th and last laser treatment. This was my schedule.

30-11-2010 soprano xl SHR mode
08-02-2011 soprano xl SHR mode
20-04-2011 lightsheer diode
29-06-2011 lightsheer diode
12-10-2011 lightsheer diode

Clearly the soprano xl treatments that I had did not work. almost all my hair is present right now.

But I believe that the treatments with the diode lightsheer were effective for several reasons, so is it correct that from april onwards i could see a lot less hair present due to hair cycles? assuming that the lightsheer laser treatments worked…

Thanks

Thanks Johnson.

Did the soprano at least make the hairs thinner and lighter even if they did were not eliminated? What you report about the soprano is in keeping with what most people report. Being that the LightSheer is a real laser, I am not surprised hat you got results. I am happy for you.

Hi dfahey. With the soprano I was treated with single pulse mode, so it wasn’t like the soprano xl treatments that most people get.

The settings weren’t high enough so I don’t think it did much, although looking at my hair now it is a little bit lighter and less in amount, but still weak results imo. That’s why I thought that in the next upcoming months I would see less hair present considering the more effective diode treatments that i had last April and onwards. Is is not correct that the best way to determine results is by looking at the hair one year later? I’m not sure myself I could be wrong.

Thanks.

Minimum is six months, one year is better. Two years even better yet!

So is it possible that I might be less hairy in a couple months than I am now?

I’m still wondering about this so I’m bumping this for a possible answer…

#7

Possibly. What area(s) are you treating?

#8

sorry i meant that i have already been treated and my last treatment was half a year ago. most hair has grown back, but since my latter treatments were more effective(i think) is it possible that less hair will be there soon? considering it will soon be exactly a year ago since those effective treatments…

bump…

If its been 6 months since your last treatment, I highly doubt you will see any further results.

What area did you get treated?

My hands and around my wrists. Thing is, I truly believe my first two treatments were ineffective while the latter 3 were. So why wouldn’t i see any further results? Isn’t it about a one year aniversary to see if that particular hair cycle was effectively treated?
