Default Question about being zapped!

Ok, I have had a few treatments so far, and I have read the posts...but I still have a question. I got zapped on my chin/neck area on Wed. I have not had any fallout yet and I know it can take 2 weeks...

Do you ladies shave while waiting for fall-out...or do you let it grow and keep exfoliating?

I have not had good results thusfar and am very disheartened.

Please give me some hope and advice!

just carry on shaving as normal. My hair started falling out after about 10 days.

A way for you to see this is if you take a facecloth (flannel) and wipe it over your skin after you wash and rinse it. check the cloth each time and you should start to see some hairs (use a white cloth)

I use Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish ( http://lizearle.com/lizearle/products?s=9578831534&range=1 ) to cleanse my face so I always use a muslin cloth to remove the cleanser but if you just use soap or facial wash then a regular flannel is ok.

i shaved as normal...i never noticed any actual falling out of hair. My laser doc said that it's usual to notice a 25% reduction in hair with each laser treatment. I would like to see more results after my second time, but I'm still hopeful. Bestest wishes!

I continued to shave. As for treatments...my doctor says that PCOS patients generally take twice as long (or possibly more) to treat as non-PCOS patients.
