Male 27yr skin type 3, I’ve had about 15 treatments with gentlelase on my chest and 9 treatments on my abs great results almost two years 80% reduction on my chest and 95% on my ABS, as for my back shoulders,and back of the neck the hair will not stop growing well into the 20 plus treatments maybe 30, as far as treatments go I’ve had the settings as high as 16j 18mm spot, lately I’ve had them turn down the settings to 8j just because why torture myself and be red for days if the results are the same. I will admit I’ve been really impatient between treatments waiting no longer than 6 1/2 to 7 weeks just because the hair keeps growing back the same, sometimes 5 weeks inbetween treatments. This go around I’m waiting its been 8 weeks and its killing me to see myself without a shirt I hate the fact that it hasn’t worked, I just hope I can see some reduction with waiting longer between treatments and having them turn it up to 14j.The fact that its worked on my chest and abs gives me hope and I also remember waiting longer between treatment on my chest and abs before seeing great results. Please provide me with any feedback in regards to getting better results by waiting longer between treatments even though the hair starts to grow in around week 4 after treatment, also if its possible the laser is causing the hair to grow more which I hope its not. All replies will be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Pictures might be useful.
After the treatment does the hair shed.
Obviously you can leave longer between appointments but that is usually just to let the new cycle of hair grow in which can take a long time, but if you have enough hair in the 5 or 7 weeks post then obviously it would be a fine amount of time to wait.
20 treatments on your back is just ridiculous. Try spending that amount of money on electrolysis with someone reuptable and you may get somewhere.
Yes the hair sheds

You should be using highest settings and waiting at least 12-14 weeks between treatments at this point to be able to accurately tell how much hair is left and how coarse it is.

I would advise to wait 14 weeks from your last treatment, take photos and post them here so we can help judge whether more treatments will get you any better results. If not, you should be switching to electrolysis.
Wow 14 weeks thats gonna be tough I will try though, I will post pics tonight show you whats grown so far, thank you
You can shave while you wait. Just don’t laser or remove with the root.
