Default For those who have done laser hair removal

I recently had my first treatment of laser hair removal over my entire face (chin, upper lip, and cheeks) It has been 3 days and I haven't notice anything. How long does it take for the hair to fall away. The company did say it won't fall out in two days, but I haven't noticed any change with the amount of regrowth the next day. I am trying to be patient.
Thanks,
Julie v.

I don't want to hamper your hopes, but I tried laser hair removal all over my face, neck , moustache and side-burns. After about 3 or 4 treatments ...( very expensive by the way) the hair did fall out. about 2 months later it all came back. At the moment I'm back at square one - the hair is still there and I've lost alot of money.
If you go back ask the company to gaurantee that the hair wont grow back - please - do yourself a favour and don't let those money hungry pigs cash in at your expense.

I guess it depends on what type of laser you do because mine isn't growing back. Lightseer Diode was my type. Anyway it takes up to two weeks for the hairs to fall out. Yes I do have some that grew back but they are fine and don't bother me. It won't remove white hairs either and I have those too but they are not visible. I have many, many more that never came back and its been over a year now. I did my arms too and there are some fine ones growing but there are a gazillion others that aren't coming back.
I would say that on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most problems with hair growth, i started out a 7. Now after 7 or 8 treatments i am a 2. Thats 5 points down and I can live with that.I don't like the hair growth but its manageable now. I no longer feel desperate over it.

Be patient! l have had two laser treatments so far and felt like you after both, except knew what to expect the second time. Nothing falls out (for me) until about seven days post laser. Then, all of a sudden, LOTS start coming out. This lasts for about three days, and then whatever left is live hair, hopefully to be killed in the next treatment! l like to use those disposable Biore washcloths that exfoliate & clean & have salicylic acid for acne. l can see that the bits of hair are falling out so l know I'm getting my money's worth! Good luck, l hope it works for you too!!
