Laser session? IPL?

Full blown Alexandrite laser!

It took me 15 laser sessions over the course of 20 months to remove all my facial hair.  I have black hair and light skin.

There were several times where I thought I was done, but I had to keep going back because my facial hair would come back.

The reason you still have a shadow is because there is actually still hair growing underneath your skin.  You'll need to wait for it to grow out again so you can zap it with laser again.  This is normal.  I experienced the same thing.  It just means you have a lot more laser sessions in your future, sorry.

It takes a lot longer than you think to get rid of it all.

20 sessions? 😨

Kill me now!! 😭

Are you sure it isn't just a touch of bdd that all of us seem to have? I've seen different pictures you have posted and your skin looks great. I've never seen any shadow or trace of facial hair in any of your pictures. Just pretty skin.

Thanks Julia, my skin has been in the best shape it has ever been that is for sure

I get what your saying girl. I will try to resist for two weeks, I just took it that if they pretty much fall out then it's good to go.

But if the lower layers of shin are irritated and slightly discoloured then it must obviously be moving up through the skin layers to eventually be shed like skin does naturally, this would explain it darkening as the layer of skin above become less and less
What do you think?

I'm no doctor by any means, but sounds plausible. Another place to ask may be real self dot com.  One of the dermatologists may have a better educated guess.

Bdd is body dismorphic syndrome.  No matter how good you look you can't see it yourself. I think all trans people have a touch of it.

Oh I'm sure this definitely plays apart, I see it much worse than it is to an extent.
But it is slowly getting dark I'm pretty sure, unless I really have lost the plot haha.
I will keep you girls posted if I do notice more hair coming back, so far after two months ther has been pretty much nothing. This is why I simply can't understand

Hmmm I dunno what to think then maybe I should stop doing it... But I can deal with the hairs

They are dead when the fall out though, the hurt like hell to pluck, I know I tested ones
When they are dead a dusting with a cloth knocks em out, the mask is just a quick way to get rid of em all, and the of straglers that aren't dead ai shave, this process I do a week and day after lasser

Hi - I've been doing electrolysis for about 3 years on my face and legs. Although it's a longer process, I am really happy with the results and most of all, that it's permanent hair removal. I am now working with an electrologist who strongly recommends NOT to pluck any hairs. This strengthens the hair follicle and it grows back stronger which makes it more difficult to "kill" the hair follicle once and for all. The plucking will not kill the hair follicle so it's only a matter of time before it grows back.

Electricity and/or heat is the only permanents solution.
