Pigment (skin color) changes may include lightening of the skin or darkening of the skin, lasting one to six (1-6) months or longer or possibly permanently.
Removal or lightening freckles or other pigmented lesions may occur. Freckles and other pigmented lesions may temporarily or permanently disappear in treated areas. There is a risk of lightening or darkening of vascular lesions in the treated area.
There is a risk that the hair regrowth may be changed, such as little or no regrowth or more regrowth than before.
People of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean descent, as well as those who have an ill-defined hair line with no obvious transition of the hairline to the face, may have a higher risk of unexpected hair growth.

Do some areas work better than others?

How does men’s skin and hair differ from women’s?
Men’s skin is thicker, they have more muscle mass and the hair tends to be coarser, therefore it takes more treatments to permanently reduce the hair in comparison to women.

What can men do to prepare?
Two weeks before treatment
Do not wax, pluck or tweeze the area. This will ensure the hair is in the follicle and the laser can treat it
Avoid sun exposure, fake tans and solariums, since these increase the risk of pigmentation
Do not have cosmetic injections or skin treatments – the laser can’t be used on broken skin

12 hours before treatment
Shave the area to ensure the laser is absorbed by the hair follicle below the skin’s surface
What should men consider before getting laser treatment for facial hair?
