Thumbs up Question about hair 'fall out' and laser treatments

Can some one tell me when the hair should fall after getting laser treatment? I try to use my tweezer to pull on the hair to see if it is loose enough to fall. Am I doing something wrong? I have had two session of gentle yag and I have not noticed hair falling off by itself. Some hairs come off easily when I try to tweeze.

I was about to post the same question!
The technician told me, but I can't remember. I had my first treatment almost a week ago...

Have you noticed any of your hairs falling? What are you doing about the hairs not falling on its own?

For me, with Gentle Yag, it was over a week before I saw a difference.

Re: the other hairs, shave, don't pluck

BTW, at your second session, if the amount of hair on your face was identical to the amount at the first, this is something to bring up to your technician.

Do they take pictures where you get yours done, so you can compare from session to session?

Shedding can take one to two weeks.

Mine takes exactly two weeks to shed, and they don't all shed at once. It depends on the stage of the hair growth. Like the hair on our heads, it is natural to lose some throughout the day, but certainly not every hair at once...

Definitely do not pluck! You should only be shaving between treatments. I made this same mistake when I first tried laser years ago. I waxed, I plucked, I bleached, and needless to say I wasted a heck of a lot of money on treatments that didn't work.

I've currently gone through 6 treatments so far and the results are AMAZING. Are you on any medical treatments to help control your hormones?
