Hey, im new at this Forum because someone show me this Thread about lasering my head. I try to explain my (currently unhappy Story) about it, but my english-skills are low
im german.
I shave my head since 2,5 years and these daily shave nervs and eats my time that i can use for better things. the result takes less than a single day and it stubble again.
I decided to laser my head early after starts to shave and on august 12 th. i had my first laser-treatment. it was an 808 nm diode-laser (type: alma lasers leda epi 808) with an 12x50 mm spot-size. The lasering itself was painfull, you feel an tingly burny pain during it inside/under the skin. irritations appears fully at day 2 after it with tiny white zits and rendness, but without any pain.
but they do his work bungled and inaccurate and i have my head full or forgetten areas "redness in patterns". There about 50% of the entire head was missed... After this 5 irritated days i was afraid and i want to stop it, there was nothing visible after it.
Then after around 2 weeks, the Horror starts again! Hairloss starts and i have since this time my entire head full of balding spots like al tiled grid. The skin itself is fine but the hairgrow it strongly pattered, forgetten areas are full-haired and hitten areas more than 50%, some areas more than 70% bald. it looks horrible and it is visible smooth shaved too. The falled off hairs are good noticeable during shaving as longer stubbles at the foam.
after a horrible month, i try to go in an different studio and they treatmentet me with an Laser called "soprano ICE alexandrit-laser". wavelength was 755 nm and used in SHR (super hairremoval) mode with moved spot over the head. Settings: 8 Youle. But unfortunely there appear no effect. Only some stubble at the lower back-head or neck appears around day 14 but nothing more - no visible changes.
the frustrations goes very extreme with nightmares and everything gets horrible... the treatmentet woman from this studio contact my "old" studio were the first bungled but effective treatment was doned because im not able for trouble-discuss with them. she calls as my advocate at this studio and i got an full treatment to the half price to normal.
This Treatment looks like to be doned more accurate with less forgetten areas (i dont saw an tiled redness after it, but redness only appeared on forgetten areas from 1 treatment and not on almost bald spots) After 5 Days with irritation, im able to shave my head and after day 7, irritations was fully gone.
Now its day 11 and i still dont see changes and having no stubbles in foam on shaving today. they has treatment me with same laser and same settings (i ask about the settings that they will be the same like from first worked but bungled treatment) My head is still full of hitten/forgetten areas and looks horrible, an horror-nightmare without awakening.
I dont want to life with these horrible squares on head, its still strongly visible after my regular daily smooth-shave as an gray shadow (have dark brown/black hair and light skin) and i dont know what i can do if this treatment fails too -without any understandable reason. why a thing can work the first time but not at second one with exaclty the same settings/conditions?
I want to go bald permanent but if i had know this horror before, i never do it!
An here at germany its strongly harder to find good solutions to fix it than at the USA.. The almost studios dont do heads here
Im so extreme frustrated and it reduced my life-quality near 0... i cannot left the house without a cap to hide this sh*t on head and every look at the mirrir remindes me on it. Im getting sick of this and my family hates my bald head and i dont get any help at this point...
Waxing-Epilating is "no way!" for me. it need 2 weeks hairgrowth and the result takes only short time and same sh*t. and im surely get big zits and bumps from it. my entire back is full of acne all time but shaving dont produces zits on head, only few, tiny ones at neck sometimes.
In real its often more visible than the pics show (lightning makes some differences)
Picture 1: 2 Days after first bungled laser-treatment (see the tiled spots and forgetten areas)the redness are so steong because i do the bad mistake and have shaved...)
Pic 2: the horrible effect after about 2 weeks, after day 15 it goes visible... (back head)
Pic 3: front-side-view.
pic 4: after last lasering, day 3 after it on top (unshaved)
This look beginns to make me sick. I cannot eat normal and get weigh-loss. nightmares about it and permanent frustration. if this dont ends, im on best way to fall into depression
