I just had it done 2 1/2 weeks ago on my lower legs and underarms. After a few days the little pieces of hair from under the skin fell out on my underarms…but 2 1/2 weeks later they are still here on my legs! They have not grown they are just sitting there, (my tech referred to these as “pebbles”) … how long does it take for them to fall out on the lower legs… I’ve tried exfoliating but that doesn’t seem to help…is this normal?
Yes, this is normal. They are called “tombstones” and will be burned off next treatment if they are still there. I believe a poster a while back recommended using baby oil or something similar and then shaving the area to decrease those stuck hairs.
We call them pepperspots. Don’t worry about them. They just take longer to fall out. Or they will be burned off at your next treatment.
Thanks
