Hi, everyone!
I´m a guy from Madrid, Spain. Beginning my thirties. Not hairy as a bear, but getting more while aging.
I´m about to begin with electrolysis in a well known place which I´ve read good reviews of.
I´m a little worried because four years ago, I got lasered in my low beard area. First three sessions went good; hair decreasing in size and numbers. The fourth session went entirely different and new hair grew in adjacent areas I wasn´t getting zapped. I just stopped the treatment and made some research, finding a rare but weird issue named “paradoxical hypertrichosis” some people suffered. Specially people with dark skin type (Fitzpatrick IV) an mediterranean or middle east origins. I have to say I´m actually from a mediterranean country, but I would say the most people here aren´t as dark as north african, southern italians, turkish or greeks. In any case, I´m not that dark. I have fair skin (fitzpatrick scale…mmm II-III), green eyes and my beard is brown at the sideburns, low strip (neck) and cheeks and red/blond at the goatee.
I didn´t fit into the category the guys who suffered paradoxical hypertrichosis belong. So, why me? I didn´t have any answer and it seems dermatologist have not the answer either
Right now, I want to get rid the hairs that were under treatment at the very beginning and the new hair.
My concern, my question, my doubt…Is there any chance of suffering AGAIN that paradoxical hypertrichosis going under electrolysis treatment? Is it a known electrolysis issue too? Has anyone experienced something like that?
I hope you can answer that. Thanks in advance.
P.S: I apologize for my english level. Never took lessons…all I know is from Internet, movies, series, etc
