Ok, so i'm really worrying about this problem I have. I was suppose to get a laser treatment done for my cheeks and upper lip and stuff and my beautician reccomanded to get a whole face laser treatment done. However, I remember recently getting just my upper lip done and it felt uncomfortable because I had absolutly no hair there and normally humans have a little bit of hair all of themselves but it's baby hair so if I were to get a laser treatment on every inche of the skin on my face then wouldn't it feel really uncomfortable with not even baby hair on your face? Then if i'm killing my baby hair then what if it never grow back? gggrrr i'm so scared and confused! Please please please help me!!😭😭😭
Btw, i'm suppose to get a whole face laser treatment done because if I got only some parts then my skin won't be even and will be patchy and stuff.
Thank you sooo much!! and please help me out! thanks😛

Well, i've got a laser treatment done before on my upper lip. I did this with professionals who know what they are doing and have the safest and most effective laser systems for all skin types. It's not how the laser is but if it'll feel comfortable or not and whether there are any more options out there.
Thanks for expressing your opinion!😛

keep in mind that laser doesn't do as great as a job targeting finer hair as it does targeting coarser hair. it's likely that the tiny hairs on your face won't be completely gone.
also, when the hair does appear to be gone, it's not it won't grow back. the hair will grow back so slowly that it may seem as if it's gone forever. however, keep in mind that laser isn't permanent. it is as close as it gets to permanent, though.
as far as comfort goes, i, myself, am fine with not having a single hair on my face. that's a matter of personal choice. i got my first laser treatment done on my whole face a few weeks back, and i am already pleased with the results.
good luck with everything. i hope i helped.

I am not getting a whole face laser treatment because I have thick hair all over my face but because I have it on my cheeks and upper lip but not too thick and not too thin but a little visible and they are saying that if I only got some parts of my face done with a laser then my skin won't be even and will get patchy.
well, no hair gets completely gone. it only thins the hair which is what i want. this is why usually you get a few treatments done for that area with too much hair. naturallly, we all have hair all over our selves but some parts tend to be more visible which i want to thin out by doing laser.

i don't think laser "thins" the hair out. hair that is targeted by the laser is destroyed from the root. meaning, the hair itself isn't thinner. it's just that there appear to be fewer hairs on your face because targeted hairs have been destroyed. this goes back to the fact that laser isn't permanent in the sense that the hair that has once been destroyed can still grow back. it's like a tree. when you uproot a tree, it takes a long time to plant a tree and have it grow back to how it once to used be. the tree, like the hair, will grow back, but it will just take a lot of time.

that isn't too true. Laser is kind of like waxing your face. Wax pulls your hair from the roots but grows back and every time you wax your hair will thin out bit by bit.. Kind of same with laser because it destroys the hair from the roots (not with the first treatment though sometimes) but grows back but thins out after a few treatments. once its thin its upto you if you still want to get laser done and have completly no hair at all which isn't exactly normal but go ahead!

i don't know whether or not waxing does indeed thin the hair out. some people agree that it does whereas others fail to agree. if waxing does thin the hair out, then that can probably be attributed to the fact that hair is pulled from the root. the claim is that pulling hair from the root weakens the root, which gives the hair a thinner, finer appearance. if this is the case, then laser can thin hair out as well (as you've mentioned). when you decide that your hair is thin enough, you don't have to get any more treatments. that's all up to you.

look at how many people get laser treatment done. you rarely hear anything about how this or that happened.. and since you have already done it.. you might as well do your whole face.

cause you sure don't want random patches on your face.
