Laser hair removal on your scalp
SlyintheOC:
They probably do not want you to shave to allow the skin time to heal. Shaving would further irritate the skin. When I had laser hair removal done on my back and chest, they also told me to keep an SPF48 or higher on everyday for at least a week even though I had clothes on. So be sure to protect your dome with a very high SPF.
Some Guy:
You usually won't see any results for like 10 to 14 days and then hair could continue to fall out for up to 3 weeks. I was never told to avoid shaving but apparently the sun is a definite no no.
Hook'Em:
Chadimus, you have any hair fall out yet? The little test strip i had done has let go of the little buggers. Now I need to get the rest done!
chadimus:
Hard to say at this point. I think my first treatment was on a weaker setting than the doctor would have preferred, so next time we'll be numbing the dome in advance of the treatment. It does look a little different and some of the hairs on the top of my head where there was very little hair to begin with are rough little bumps and even after I shave over them, they are still very visible. I'm assuming these are dead follicles and eventually those will disappear completely.
I'm not really inspecting it much at this point. I think it'll all work out after a few treatments, so I'm not going to make any rash judgments.
I'll take photos right before the next treatment and post them.
BuzzKC:
Some Guy's results look pretty good. I would be fine with results like that. Shaving what's left would be a breeze. About time for me to go ahead and schedule another appt.
