I have a few questions about laser treatment:
-
How do I find out my skin type? I have light brown skin (think Vanessa Williams tone) and dark coarse hair.
-
How long does the hair stay away with laser treatment?
-
Is there any way to KEEP the hair away after laser? Like laser coupled with something else?
-
When the hair does come back, will it at least come back lighter and softer so that I can at least bleach it without it looking too fake?
I may have more questions later, but this is all I can think of for now.
Hi, I hope I can answer some of your questions. As far as your skin type, it sounds like you are a Fitzpatrick 4(rarely burn, tans easily). You should investigate a practice with an NdYag 1064 - this would be the safest for your skin type. You can reasonably expect 20-30% permanent reduction/removal with each treatment, and approximately 70-90% permanent reduction/removal after 5 or 6 treatments. This reduction is permanent, with the remaining hair very fine and light. This remaining hair can be shaved, bleached or removed with electrolysis. E-mail me if you have any further questions. ciao for now!
