quick question about pepperspots

hiya! i had my first laser treatment a week ago and i was told NO PLUCKING by the woman who treated me. i was fine with that until i saw the big black pepperspots just sitting there, not budging. I tried squeezing them out but that didn’t work. I tried shaving but you could still see them. the only thing which seems to work is plucking. I know you’re not supposed to pluck new hair, but these things have no root and they’re just sitting there looking disgusting. Is it very bad to pluck them out? (I already have plucked quite a few…)

These are not new hairs. These are the hairs that were treated.

It’s best to let them come out of their own accord. Exfoliate and moisturise regularly to help along the process.

Sounds like you had a good treatment. These are dead hairs stuck in the follicle. If mild exfoliation and moisturizer won’t release them, then they will burn off in the next treatment.

Pepperspots will go away. You should exfoliate to help them out.
