Started laser hair removal, but can’t finish; what happens?

November 11th, 2011
thekim asked:


I started laser hair removal about a year ago. It was 3,000 for all legs, Brazilian and underarms but for only six sessions. They then gave me a seventh for free. However, they said I may need one or two more sessions because the hair follicles were still present in some areas. I have since had some hair growth. I can’t afford to get any more done–it would be 500 to finish my legs and then I don’t know how much to finish the bikini area. That just isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

So, my question is: Can I go without getting my laser finished for a while without the progress thus far being completely moot. I figured you can’t un-kill a follicle, but since they aren’t entirely dead, can they rebuild? At the moment i shave maybe once a week and even then that’s just so I am entirely smooth. I haven’t done a laser treatment since August and only started getting growth again at the end of November.

Any help will do. Thanks.

dark hair growth problems/shaving?

November 9th, 2011
asked:


ok this might make me seem like a gross hairy girl but i have serious hair issues. i have very dark hair naturally and its all over random places on my body. i have dark hair on my arms, lower back, upper lip, chin, and stomach. plus what everybody else has, legs bikini area. i shave my upper lip, chin, lower back, stomach, under arms, legs, and bikini area everyday because the hair grows back the next day. i do this because i dont want anybody(basically my bf) to see/know about the hair. i know shaving some of those areas are bad but idk what to do. i want to wax my upper lip but in order to do that, i would need to let it grow out first and i dont want to have my bf or anybody else seeing me with a mustache. same goes for my chin. i cant exactly wax my lower back myself and im not very good at waxing myself anyways. i have no idea what to do for my stomach hair. it sucks that i have to shave these areas every single day because it gives my razor bumps and stuff. but if i dont, its very obvious that i have the hair. my under arms and legs and bikini area are common places to shave but my bikini area gets bad razor bumps but it needs to be smooth and hairless. im just at a point where idk what to do. no matter what, i either mess up by shaving or have people(my bf) see how disgusting i am for having a mustache and other hair problems. i dont have money to get laser hair removal done, and i really dont have enough money to get all these places professionally waxed. thats y i shave. its quick and easy. what can i do without letting my bf see my hair growth problems?

How to deal with neck hair growth during pregnancy?

November 1st, 2011
Justus Will be Delivered Jan. 28 asked:


Ever since I was 18 (currently 25) I have had dark hair on my neck, chin, chest and stomach. I have tried everything to remove it (short of laser hair removal) and the only thing that I have found to work is shaving. I also try to keep a constant tan so that it doesn’t show as much. About 2 months before I got pregnant I was prescribed Vaniqa but I can’t take it now that I’m pregnant. It seems now that I’m about 10 weeks my hair is growing SO much faster. I’ve had to stop tanning because I’m pregnant and now I’m just left with shaving. I’m becoming VERY paranoid about it and sometimes quite emotional. Has anyone experienced this sort of hair growth? I’ve never been tested for anything so I’m not sure of the cause. Could my current OB/GYN do any tests while I’m pregnant to check on this? I am so desperate and emotional about this. I’m to the point where I just want to wear a turtle neck in the middle of July just to avoid embarrassment. Any words of advice? Thanks!

Menopause creates hormone imbalances and unwanted hair growth?

October 26th, 2011
asked:


I’m one of those individuals who happens to have alot of dark facial hair due to I think homonal imbalance, I have irregular periods, I get my periods after 14/15 days. To early.
I am experiencing facial hair growth problem, especially under chin, upper lip and also side locks.
If I get a permanent method of removal done on my face, like laser hair removal will it grow back if I still have hormonal imbalance? I’m going to check in with a docter to see if I have hormonal imbalance, though I’m sure I do. Can someone please throw some light on me. Thanks (:

Co-Working Pup

The article written by Alonso Kramer

I am the world’s worst procrastinator. Now that I have gotten high speed internet service it has made my life easier, because I can work on projects that I need to complete at home. It has also made my life a little more difficult because I don’t make myself stay at the office to finish things. I love working from the comfort of my home, but I also take my time and watch television while I am working. When I worked on my projects at the office, I would constantly watch the clock and work as hard as I could to get out of the office as quickly as I could. The tasks would get done faster at the office, but now I really have so much more fun working at my house. I even get to spend more time with my dog when I work from home. I think that he is glad that we decided to get satellite internet too. He is a great co-worker and writing buddy.

Laser hair removal questions ladies?

October 1st, 2011
asked:


I have heard so many stories from women who are currently getting some sort of laer hair removal on their bodies be it the face, bikini area, legs, underarms or even the bum crack believe it or not…

I am also having my full face done..And I must say I got very impressive results..my thick dark hair (which was a souvenier of PCOS) are now nowhere to be seen and my face feels smooth…and I have 2 more treatments to go , I have already gotten 9 done…so been going on for an year or so…
My question is…to those ladies out there who can tell me how the “laser treated” areas are doing for them after (say) 3-5 or more years of getting the treatment done…? How is the hair growth on that area…? the skin? the sun exposure tolerance, elasticity etc etc…

Please please please if anyone of you have the experience of having laser done at least 2 years ago please let us know how u are getting on…and which area was it…
Am sure when am asking this question I am asking not only for myself but for many other ladies out there who like me are lingering in anticipation…

THANKS A BUNCH IN ADVANCE!

Laser hair removal – hair still growing?

October 1st, 2011
anonymous_girl asked:


Yesterday I had my 5th session, in one month I will have my LAST session. My hair growth has gotten much lighter, I definetly see an improvement, but I am afraid that it will not STOP growing with just one more session.

Is this normal and should it stop growing after this last session? anyone with this experience?

The areas I got laser on are full bikini and underarms.

Also, the hair should never grow back right?

WAXING DOES NOT REDUCE HAIR GROWTH?

September 16th, 2011
andie asked:


WAXING DOES NOT REDUCE HAIR GROWTH!?
sorry this isnt a question but i just found out this recently when i visited a specialist in like hair growth or something (forgot what the name was…-.-) waxing actually darkens the hair and canmakehairs thicker becuase…underneath a hair follicle is like a blood supply..becuase of the blood supply the hairs keep growing. when u pluck the hair from the root, the nerves from the blood supply goes to ur brain and basically tells ur brain that ur hurt in that area..so it sends more blood to that area…becuase of the blood being pumped into that area, the hair will acutlaly grow back stronger….this is also why if you pluck a LOT in one area, you can sometimes feel a pulse. ISNT THAT WEIRD?! o__o….. also waxing can cuase wrinkles if you do it for a really long time.

*waxing may seem like it reduces hair growth becuase it causes certain hairs to grow back a lot later htan others…and the hairs just take a longer time to grow back out.
*when u have hair growth, the hairs can NEVER go away permanently UNLESS you get electrolysis.
when u get laser hair removal, it just stunts the growth of a hair (up to a couple years or so),,but the hair will eventulaly grow back.

electrolysis is when you basically burn/clot the blood supply so that no more blood can be supplied to that area (meaning taadaa no more hair growht)

I GOT SO MANY mixed answers on whether waxing can stop hair from growing and got confused so i went to talk to this legit hair lady…

How quickly can new hair appear between laser hair removal treatments?

September 8th, 2011
da8472 asked:


I will first start out by saying I am a man and as a result of that, have significantly more aggressive hair growth. Eleven days ago I had my first treatment on my beard area. According to the paperwork and consultation I received, hair follicles are not always active, which is why multiple treatments are required. The paperwork also said that the hair that is active will fall out in 10-14 days after the treatment. Being the 11th day now, I am still shaving hair that is seemingly growing.

Though I not sure, I think I noticed my hair thinned out a little and my razor burn has decreased, but that doesn’t negate the fact that 14 days is almost here and most of my hair is still there. I’d like to know if it’s possible if another batch of follicles have become active this quickly. Or is it more likely that the laser barely had an effect on me?

I don’t remember the exact wording, but the FAQ I received indicated that the hair would start falling out 10-14 days after treatment, then after that, I can expect to be almost hair free until the next phase begins and I’ll need another treatment (4-6 weeks later). The technician said she would set the laser level slightly lower the first time compared to the level she plans on using on subsequent treatments, but I doubt if this has anything to do with it.

The third explanation I can think of (and most dubious about) is that the hair goes much deeper than I thought. What I mean is that the hair very well may have been killed, it’s just taking a while for the the whole length of the hair to work its way out from under the skin to finally fall out.

I’m probably thinking about this too much and no matter what is said here, I will proceed with all the treatments. But I would really like some assurance that everything is behaving as normal and that that I don’t have to worry that this is a waste of money. The thing is, after the treatment, the technician was trying to get me enthusiastic, saying that I’ll notice I’ll be shaving less and less. I actually like shaving, I’m only doing this to get rid of my many ingrown hairs. Nevertheless, my shaving routine hasn’t changed at all.

Sorry this is so long. Please provide whatever relevant comment you like, but personal experiences will be especially helpful. Thank you
