laser causes ingrown hair?

I had a laser treatment with the Gentlelase a few months ago on my chin. All the hairs grew back and almost all of them are ingrown now. Ughhh! Has anyone else had this problem? Will they eventually return to normal.

i'm about to start my 3rd session.
I notice after the first one i seemed to have a bad breakout on my chin. I may have been ingrowns. All of my hir didn't come back. I was hair free for about 2weeks before the other follicles began their cycle.
I had quite a bit of growth after my 1st session.
My 2nd session was about 1 month ago and I have seen very little regrowth and i've not had the bumps like before. I have had a few pimples but it may be because i'm always feeling of my face now to make sure there's not hair there.

I have actually gone 2 days without any touchup shaving, before I had to shave 2x a day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even if I have to do maintenance for the rest of my life, managing hair with laser was the best thing I have every done.

Good luck and keep me posted on your progress

No,I've not had ingrown hairs. Seems after my second laser the hair grew much slower and lighter in color. I've been really happy with my results.
