Laser hair removal on your scalp
Common:
It's been three weeks since my second treatment. I shave every day to avoid patches, but could probably skip days if I wanted to. My dome is looking good. No shadow left on the sides and just a little on the back.
One funny thing. I've begun noticing imperfections on other sly guys that I used to admire. I see the hair they missed behind their ears, for instance. That will never be a problem for me now. "How sloppy," I think.
I'll post some pics after the hair from the third treatment falls out. I think I'll be pretty good at that point, but I prepaid for eight sessions and want to get things perfect.
The hair seemed to come out faster after the treatments when I (a) shaved against the grain, and (b) rubbed my head with a loofa while showering.

Im going for hair removal in okt when I have stopped taken accutane (isotretinoin). However, I have to ask. Are you guys referring to laser as IPL laser or something else? Im from Sweden and Im going for IPL and since I have very dark hair and light skin tone Im an optimal candidate for the treatment. I had troubles finding a clinic who had experience on this though, but finally i found one. I dont know what I would have done if that wasnt the case. Fortunately I live in Stockholm so it made it easier in the search.
The reason why Im asking is that they said (on the clinic) that IPL is friendlier to the skin than regular laser and will A - make the results better and B - decrease the pain.
Common:
I have darker skin, so I'm using a YAG laser. My skin seems to be doing fine, but the pain during the session is intense. Hopefully it will be less painful with the IPL laser, but I can't see how. Ultimately, the laser needs to penetrate the skin and heat the hair folicle. It's the heat in the hair folicles that hurts so much.

Some Guys results do look great. I am really leaning to having this done soon. I want a dome that and is shadow free..or at least shadow minimal.
