I had major red spots and crusting for 5-7 days. It was sore and then it subsides, I noticed hair loss after 14-17 days. Stay out of the sun for a few weeks if not more after treatments.

Day 10 after 1st laser treatment. Great so far, hair grows a lot lot slower, no red marks or spots on head. Gone from shaving twice a day to once every day (could go longer but i like it smooth). No hair fall out yet but clinic said it could feel like stubble as the hair is expelled from the root over next 2 weeks. Great so far

Hello fellow baldies,
I found this site when looking into lasering my head. I actually had laser a few yrs ago on my arm when planning to sleeve it up. It actually didn't work much since I only had one session  ( the tech nor I knew it would take a few more). It was new here back then, a lot more expensive and info wasn't as available as it is now. The tech did do a test spot on my neck since I was thinking about shaping my goatee. That spot is still bald 15 yrs later with just one zap.  Back then I had already started shaving my head due to the thin top. The tech did suggest I could laser my head. Back then I was still hoping in that miracle pill a few of us been waiting for, No not Viagra, the other one... but as we all know, No luck... but the head zapping idea always stood in the back of my mind.
 
Given the choise, I  much rather have a full head of hair, unfortunately it isn't an option. Even with stem cell research regarding hair growth, It's too far from completion for me to benefit from it. So it brings me to here. I HATE the "horseshoe" look, But don't look bad with a tight shave. I'm kinda lazy when it comes to shaving so shave every 2-3 days at most and "hat" it the rest. Hair grows fast, just not into shaving. It'll be great not to have to "hat" it just to cover the stupid "horseshoe". I'm hitting 44 so kinda outgrowing the baseball cap thing. On top of that, greying faster now (5 % or so now) So, best to do it now then zap the leftovers with electrolysis. I did that also 15-20 yrs ago for tattoos & mustache shaping,  and it worked great. Too large an area for it now though.
 
 I actually had a consultation and my appointment for my first session is next week. I'm going to have everything above my shoulders leaving just a goatee as one fellow baldy stated he's getting done. Being in NY, I couldn't find the great deals I see some of you guys had. I looked at a few locations, and w/o driving 2 hrs, The best local cost is $600 a session or prepay $1,800 for four sessions. I didn't ask for the breakdown of area, but I guess It would be two (head/face). So $300  ($225 if pre-paid for 4) a session for the head. I have a pretty thick beard that goes low on my neck. If broken down by area it's not so bad. She said she will cover it all. Back of neck, upper checks, below and sides of eyes, between eyebrows, shape goatee, inside goatee, everything... She is also located only a cpl of miles from me and made me feel comfortable since she had done a few heads already, so that's a plus..
 
I've done a bit of research, and thanks to this site, I'm going into it knowing a bit more what to expect, better informed and feeling better knowing I'm not alone in what I thought was a crazy idea. I'm planning to take some pic before and after and will post then a wk or so after first session.
