hi there, im a guy with a thick dense beard… I decided to try lasering the bottom 1 inch of my neck to see how well it would react…im pretty sure they are using an alexandrite laser…anyways after the first treament it looked really good, just a couple small spots that had a few hairs in them…so i went back for a 2nd treatment and that cleared up the bottom neck entirely…looked fantastic…so I decided I would laser the entire beard with the hopes of reducing the density, get rid of the heavy 5 o clock shadow…
so I had 1 treament on the whole beard. about a week later a whole bunch of hairs fell out over the course of about 24 hours… couple days later and i notice that there are big patches of dark coarse hair that look like they havent been touched… SEE PICTURES http://img837.imageshack.us/i/snapshotofme1e.png/

as you can see…its really patchy with some really dark areas around the goatee area that havent shed… now I just had a 2nd treatment on the beard the day before yesterday to try to shed the rest…
I went to the spa today basically worried sick that im gonna look like a freak like this forever…and they said to wait a couple weeks to see what falls out after the 2nd treatment…then any remaining dark areas she would just go over that area with the laser to try and touch it up and make things as even as possible…then i really think i should stop treatment and give it a few months to see what grows back…
on my lower neck i noticed around after 3 months that the hairs started growing back evenly, but not as dense as originally…
what do you guys suggest I do? i am very scared that this look could end up being permanent for me and that the spots that are bare will never grow back? what should I do, should I continue to treat the dense areas to try to even it out?? or will it just make it more spotty and patchy?? should I just stop now after 2 treatments, since its not that many, will it grow back after 5 or 6 months???
