im a 23 years old male, did 6 laser hair removal sessions for the full upper body (back,chest,shoulders,abs and arms) and the hair grew back taller and thicker i became a gorilla….specially the areas where i had very little thin hair(shoulder and abs as well as side of abs now its like a jungle. now i just wish i never did laser hair removal.
i dont know wtf to do about the thicker/taller hair that was caused by laser, anyone know i wax the areas would it come back normal like it used to be before the laser?

I am still paying off my laser hair removal bills, i just turned 20 and i started recieving the treatments when i was 18. I was embarassed about my arm hair. They were very nice to me and said they could help. I’ve done atleast 5 treatments on all the major parts of the body, and my arms and chin got worse. I never even wanted the chin done they just through it in for free. Now i am plucking dark chin hairs like an old lady and have thick blonde peach fuzz. I got LHR done so i wouldn’t be old and covered with hair, and it has just sped up the process. My armpits are always irriatated and itchy, even when there is no hair. Its liek the nerves were hurt and my skin still thinks hairs there. The hair on my arms is longer and farther up and down onto my hands. My legs worked for a little while and stopped. I am as white as can be and have dark brown hair, i was the best combination for laser treatment. It is the worst feeling in the world when you pay almost 3,000 dollars for what you hope will be the end of your suffering only to make it worse, darker, and grow faster. I would not recommend it, you’ll feel pretty for a while but once its over you’ll have spent a lot and you’ll be hairer than before. Plus there is no way to prove that the LHR made it worse, so your forced to pay.

Hi there
I went to get some broken capillaries treated and the doctor did laser hair removal on my chin and upper lip without my permission. I did not have hair there, or should I say I had tiny hairs that we all have on our faces but noone can see without a microscope. I argued with her afterwards and she guaranteed the hair would not grow back worse. The hair got darker and thicker. She offered to “fix” the problem and two sessions later the hair is ghastly. I have a beard and moustache and she said she wants me to pay for removal now. Has anyone else had reverse affects from the laser. I have had all tests to rule out hormonal and endocronological problems. The laser made the hair worse.

I loved my laser hair removal. I did my 6 treatments on my underarms and had a brazilian done and its been a year and I sitll love the results.
I was never burned, but i also went by recommendations. I checked with people where they got theirs done and had it done in a proper medical facility. I
found a couple places that offered their services super cheap and was very weary
of them..

Laser hair removal is just wasting money because it doesn’t work the hair grows back again. I had 10 sessions of laser hair removal and in 1 of my session laser burned my face and I had so much pain. Now I have some pigmentation in my face and neck and it doesn’t go away. I prefer to use hair removal cream because it’s much cheaper and safer than laser.

I was browesing through your site. and wuite honestly,
alot of people are confused on her about alot of treatments! LHR if you go to a good Nurse that actually know what there doing… give you there alot of “want to be Medspas” popping up to try to get money…thats horrible. the more I read the the more I see it’s not the clients fault or the procedure persay its the place where your going. the misinformation your getting from untrained gerenal lay people that is the problem.

For example LHR is actually effective if your a right candiate for it…. the place you go to should have done the anyalze’s first….

I not going to set here and type up the different stages and professtional procedures should have been because it seems as though alot of you have gone to horrible palces where quiet frankly they dont know what they are doing and are making honest knowelge places look bad.

there was another post on here about the green peel…
the reason why the wonman got worse is because, (note I don’t practice the green peel) is because the peel has a brassive granueles that exfoliate physically… well if the person has active acne nothing that has granuels should be used your only transfering the infection to the rest of your face.

Of course that would have not happened had the person and Doctor Or MedSpa know what the heck they were doing again…

I agree there is alot of melecious people trying to get into any industry to reck the benifits of wealth, but there are places and products and medical technology that actually does work .

I honestly wouldn’t relay on a website that pays someone for reviews and doesnt have the medical background to know the physiology that goes behind the treatments on this site. I also wouldn’t get discourage by some clinic or nurse that unfortunalty probably should be in the medspa industry if all they want is money…

For all of you that had a bad experence, well now you know what to look for, when to know if the place is just someone that thought they could make it big in this industry and ask questions…. thats how you’ll know whether they know they stuff or not.

knowelge is power don’t let someone tell there personal experence look it up….

Well I have to say I am delighted with my results for Laser HR. I had underarm and full bikini area done and no hair has come back in 5 years. It’s still lovely and smooth. So I would definitely recommend LHR.

James,
I’m sorry about your horrible laser hair removal experience. When I worked at a Medical Spa, I also saw men that got really patchy results (even though they had a ton of treatments) and they ended up having to shave more because their faces were really patchy. That was one of many reasons why I quit my job at the spa. Another problem is when men have gray hairs on their face, so all the hair goes away, except for the gray!

Thanks for telling me about the two years thing. I’ve been asking around and researching, and hadn’t been able to pinpoint how long the hair stayed away before it started to come back again. For someone that had good results, if they did have a lifetime guarantee, then they could come back two years later and resume treatments all over again! For women that hate shaving and waxing, it can be a preferable treatment since the results are longer.

And hopefully all your hair will eventually come back so that it ends up looking okay in the end.

a true guarantee would be to refund your money if it doesnt work. and you will NEVER find a laser hair removal clinic offering your money back.

think about it. its not a guarantee at all. if anything they are telling you the procedure doesn’t work! simply offering more treatments when the first 6-8 treatments fail is NOT a guarantee. its telling you in advance “this will not work. “
