2 Week ago I did my first treatment, due to the fact that I hate shaving, I get oily skin and sometimes I rather not shave when I breakout.... Note : that I rarely breakout, I was on Accutane 2 years ago and since then I have had great skin. Until recently , this week I went from a few pimples to severe acne. Only around my chin and side burns, wherere areas have been treated by the hair removal laser.
I was wondering if someone has had this happened or can educate me more. As I have asked many questions to the doctor that was treating my hair, she said there would not be a problem with the laser.
The stiffer, dead hair shafts are more likely to become ingrown. At least that is what happened on my neck.
It's normal. For about 3 weeks after laser hair removal, the dead hairs and roots push their way up and fall out. It's not attractive, nothing you can really do except wash with a gentle face cleanser like Noxema, and wait for it to clear up.
It's not permanent, it's not acne, although it looks like it. Just be patient, it looks kind of bad, but it does clear up. With every additional treatment, less hair is there, so there will be less falling out. The first treatment always looks the worst.

Laser hair removal- red spots?
Hello, I've had laser hair removal done a while ago and after the treatments about 4 days would go by then i would notice red dots where the hair follicle was before... -the dots look similar to when you wax and get red dots/ only after laser hair removal it was somewhat irritatingly painful. My question is are these red dots preventable? I have light skin (pink tone) and dark hair.- Most people don't get these dots, but their similar to a zit, and took a long time to go away..
Also since I've had it performed 4 times (this is 3 years ago) but I want to go back to finish the treatment, will i have to start over, or will the 4 treatments still have and effect... My hair is a litle thinner, not much though. Thanks in advance!
I got the same thing when I got laser hair removal for my armpits.
I think its a little like razor burn; basically, skin irritation.
For the returning hair removal, you may have to have an extra session or two to get caught up. When I took a year off from hair removal, I had to start over; yet, I've had friends who took off from where they last started.
Ask your laser hair removal specialist. :)
