I’ve been getting laser hair removal on Brazilian, legs, and armpits for a while now (over a year) and I’m almost done. It is one of the BEST things I have ever paid for. No I don’t think I will be 100% hairless but that is ok with me. The amount of hair reduction I have is crazy and a lot of my hair has become peach fuzz like. Also the clinic I go to may be a medspa..? But all the technicians are certified nurses, and this clinic only does laser hair removal and nothing else. The clinic also offers free unlimited touch ups for the rest of my life so if hairs do start to come back over time I can get touch ups for free, which is what sold me honestly. Yes it is A LOT of money (I pay a monthly bill and have sometime left until it’s all paid off), but for me it is worth it, especially with the free touch ups. My skin basically hates shaving and I would get razor bumps and a lot an irritation, and the hair would grow back immediately. But now that the hair is soo fine, I don’t have issues like that anymore: def would recommend trying it, and doing research on the place you’re going too.
@@ManUntdForever Not sure how other places are but for me you start off every 5 weeks and then as time goes on and your hair reduction increases and becomes finer they spread you to 10 weeks. I’m currently at 10 weeks. Also it is very painful 🙃 forgot to mention that.
@@RxvenAlexis thanks so much for replying. My second session was 5 weeks apart, but I’ve been reading online people saying their sessions were 6-8 weeks apart, so I got worried mine were too close together.
I’ve always been curious about laser hair removal (I’m a prickly little spider that doesn’t like shaving often) but I’ve always worried about any type of complications or issues. No one that’s talked about it has given the facts and information like you have. After hearing that it’s not truly “permanent” and the potential risk factors, I’m content to shave. Thank you so much for the informative videos, they are so so helpful. It’s much easier to make decisions when I have this much information and facts and not just peoples personal experiences. Nothing against treatments or products but it’s so nice to not get sucked in by what’s popular. Your videos are the best!! Happy holidays ❤️❤️❤️
This was really interesting! It makes me curious about shaving versus laser hair removal. It would be very helpful to watch a video from you about shaving - how to do it safely on different body parts, how to shave effectively, what sorts of products to use when shaving, etc., or alternatively, what you recommend if you don’t like shaving (at home hair removal treatments, etc.). Really appreciate your insight into these issues!
Would agree with Derm vs medspa. I worked at a medspa and figured out A LOT on my own, training was poor but after 4 years gosh did I know what I was doing, we did this SO often. However the turnover at our other spa was incredibly high and every few months there was someone new, so many adverse reactions came out from that clinic. I would offer to train new staff but owners cared more about profit than wasting time on training, hence why I had to learn so much myself. I had luckily one tiny tiny adverse reaction in that entire time, I was trained well from school in burn protocol and skin healing so I had that down. I had a few patients that were dermatologists interested in using our machine. They only had a one day training on the machine prior to using on their patients. One came in full of legs burns she did on herself from that one day training. So in my opinion like with everything else it’s more about experience than training. Many of us didn’t train on these exact lasers used today in med school, pa school or nursing school, all training was done outside so we are on level playing fields there. The difference is your background in medicine and overall ability to learn or pay attention I guess. More patients should be aware NO one knows what they are doing initially, it took a good teacher, or finding the right resources and then trial and error.
additional question 🙋♀what should i look/ask for when trying to find someone to perform my laser hair removal? board certified dermatologist? RN? specific qualifications?? thanks dr sam ellis 💕
Hi, Dr. Ellis. Just found your video, watching because I will be getting trained and certified in laser hair removal. Thank you for your very informative video. I will be subscribing. Excited to start my new job as RN Laser Provider at Milan. I found your video to see what a Dermatologist has to say about it. Watching videos before I begin the training process on Monday. I want to say Congratulations for becoming a Dermatologist. I used to be a Medical Assistant for a Cosmetic Dermatologist and absolutely loved it. It took me a long time to climb the ladder. I graduated with my BSN, became a nurse at 40 in the peak of the pandemic - started in the covid unit and so happy I am finally getting back into the aesthetic world. Thanks for the info! You have such a calming vibe. Very pleasant to watch.
I am a laser technician in Australia (have been for 3+ yrs). Let me tell you its super hard to be qualified in Laser. You have to do 100 supervised hours on people before you can even apply for your full use license. And before that you have to do a 3 month Laser safety course. Not many places want to train/supervise you so its very hard to get a job doing it rip.
I go to Evolution Laser Clinic here in Sydney and the technicians there in my experience have been very good when receiving treatment in my pubic area. You're an important industry so thank you 😊
Thank you for your informative insight on the topic 🤍 A few additional questions I have: 1- Can IPL be effective at home after I finished a few sessions at a clinic ? 2- How long should I leave the numbing cream on the area before I start the laser ? or IPL ? 3- What can I use before or after after my laser appointment to help reduce the chance of having hyper pigmentation ? Is Fucicort antibiotic cream (The orange & red color) enough after my appointment?
I had 6 laser sessions at a cosmetic surgery hospital when I was 18 on my lip and chin area. This didn’t work so I saw my doctor and after blood tests, my hormones were fine and after an ultrasound I didn’t have PCOS. I was given the contraceptive pill, this didn’t help and then eventually a topical cream for hirsutism and this didn’t work so my doctor prescribed me laser hair removal at another private hospital. I had a further 8 sessions that also did not work. Aged 27 I decided to try AGAIN. After another 8 sessions it still has not worked. It has worked however on my entire body bar my face. Aged 30 I continue to shave my face atleast 5 times a week. I’ve been burnt and blistered and learnt lots a long the way. The truth of the matter is, if you’re embarrassed of your hair, don’t be. If like me, it won’t go, who cares? That’s my genetic makeup and no amount of lasers can change that believe me
@@priya200328 and it will grow. It will continue to. It could reduce the amount so don’t give up but be prepared that this may not be the cure - for me now 31 I’m still the same. And as per the other comment. Don’t wax your face for gods sake
Yes, I have had laser hair removal and with my hair color I’ve had the best results with my armpits and bikini line. My question for you is what areas have you had done since your hair looks a combination of blonde and light brown.
I had laser hair removal (3 sessions) on both legs, underarms and bikini line 20 years ago. I have light skin and dark hair. It was the one of the best things I ever did for myself. The hair is not completely gone, but at least my legs never feel prickly anymore. Feels very close to being clean shaven 24/7.
Find a place with a lot of reviews and all good reviews. I usually pick places that have several hundred reviewed and 4.8 stars and above. And I read the negative to reviews because sometimes people are being picky about things like they were late for an appointment so they couldn't be seen and leave a bad review but it's not actually about the procedure.
Very education video but as a medical aesthician and biomedical scientist who graduated from unuversity I have to say that some medical spas do use candela and soprano the best lasers in the world also medical aestheticians SPECIALIZE in lasers 😘
I get horrible folliculitis on my underboob & this convinced me to go for it. I’ve been planning to get mostly full body laser hair removal for years & am excited :)
Thanks for this video. I was considering trying a home “laser” but your info helped me decide to not do that. I will wait until I can afford a qualified provider.
The home laser are IPL. Very less effective compared to LASER( Light Amplification Stimulate Emission of Radiation). Those machines are far complicated, than IPL devices.
I would say stay away from those. Especially if you have medium skin tones or darker skin tones. Many doctors will tell you they’re scams. They just burn off the hair length they don’t actually kill the hair root itself like actual hair removal lasers
How do we know what is a true laser treatment versus an IPL? It seems that so many places are saying they do laser treatments only to find out they are IPLs.
Laser hair removal may not be permanent, but it’s worth it. It’s been around a decade that I started on legs, bikini, armpits, face for 2-3 times per year. Only if necessary, I shave my legs in between. My leg hair had reduced dramatically (like 90% are gone) and my armpits are totally clean. I remember a couple of months after I gave birth, a friend asked me when I found time to shave my legs with a newborn and zero help. And the truth was that I had done laser at the early stagers of pregnancy, like 8-9 months ago. On the face, I noticed that when my hormones are not balanced new hair appear, while the old ones have reduced.
Maybe in the next part these questions can be answered. I wonder if there is a complete list of diseases that if you have, you can't have laser hair removal? For ex. eye operations and diseases of the eye? Should you consult an eye doctor then? Secondly, if I noticed that my brows grow again, years after not plucking them, is it a sign that probably the removal won't be very effective? (and vice versa, people who can't grow brows back will have very good results?) Also, how to check (what questions to ask) to know if a person is qualified or not? How to exclude non experts? The last question is, when the person doing the procedure is not a doctor, can we trust them? Regardless if, supervised by a doctor. For me, the supervision is not enough. What do you think? If a cosmetologist would do it for example. I like your videos a lot. Hope there are more to come. Greetings
Electrolysis requires a lot of visits. It was like $90 an hour and the lady said it takes about two years for everything to stay smooth without regrowth. I eventually didn’t finish that timeframe, but maybe if I find a new place with a better price I would do it again. I was already going twice a week.
Thank you for the informational video! I’ve been started to consider laser. Not to be off topic but would you mind sharing where your necklaces are from? I wear a lot of basic shirts and those are perfect!
There is nothing called best laser. It essentially depends on your skin and hair color. The darker, coarser hair, the lighter skin, the best results results can be achieved. in general, Diod 810nm is great for most of the skin types, but type 5 and 6 ND-Yag 1064nm is best done at derma clinics.
Can permanent redness be removed with azelaic acid for example? or has it to be a dermatologist office procedure with IPL or some other device/treatment? (In my case, the redness is barely visible).
Hi there, i get my ipl lazer device frm amazon soon. I have 3 questions for you, 1- on the face, at what setting should i be useing it? 2- can i do it every night or every other day? 3- at night after use can i continue with my nightime skincare routine, or should i wait an hour or so? Please let me know, thankyou.🙂
Can u please tell me which laser hair removal brand u bought on Amazon? I am a middle aged woman and I am going through perimenopause and I feel some fuzz on my face I would like to try to remove that at home
Thanks for the information! I noticed you mentioned that they wouldn’t have used the laser if the skin was tanned…so the skin needs to be it’s natural color when treated?
Thanks again for the informative content. I have a couple of questions: Is it safe to do laser hair removal between the eyebrows or anywhere close to the eyes? What type of laser do you use in your practice or which one is the most recommended for olive skin?
I have chronic folliculitis on my arms and I just finished 6 months of accutane which made it sooo much worse. I am getting treated by my dermatologist and have gotten tests done and 2 biopsy’s to figure out what the issue is. I have been doing research and REALLY want to get laser hair removal but my arm hair is blonde. What can I do? 😢
@@supernice_auto because it's not ethical to do double blind studies on pregnant women, so it's never done. She said it was safe, she just wouldn't recommend it.
I didn’t have time to watch the whole video but do you mention anything about moles and freckles? I have plenty and I use laser hair removal at home. How do I safely go around them? Do I need to cover them up?
Where do u live and can u be my dermatologist? I'm so afraid of getting scammed by someone! How do u know if they aren't lying to you and want to mess up your face!
Hi! Thank you for your video. I did a laser treatment for a year and I think it helped with my c section scar keloid. Do you think there is a link between them?
Dr sam ellis i had laser hair removal on my face here in selbyville de the dr that did mine never stopped for breaks after my session my face was red and painful now my face still hurts and is rough and sore what do i do help
Is it really necessary to stop using Retin-A Micro 3 days or some people say even a whole week before laser hair removal? My skin is acclimated already, been using this stuff for like 6 months, I don't get peeling, irritation or inflammation anymore... But I don't know if it is making my skin more sensitive *shrugs* not asking for personalized medical advice, obviously I need to consult with my doctor regarding that, and I will do whatever my doctor advises but I just want a generalized answer from you whether that is still really necessary or just an old fashioned baseless advice?
I have dark arm hair, but in the summer it bleaches with even a slight amount of sun exposure (I do wear sunscreen 👍). Am I right in assuming laser will still be effective because the follicle beneath the skin will contain the darker pigment?
Thank you for the video! I have a question! 🙋♀️ I did laser removal once, and it was part of the treatment to shave between sessions, so that the hair would grow thicker, and the treatment would be more effective. I found this weird since I hear most people say hair does not grow thicker when shaved. Is this really part of the treatment? 🙋♀️Second question: ideally we want most of the hair to be in growth fase so that the laser can target the folicle (I think?). In order to achieve that, wouldn't it be helpful to do some waxing before, to get most of them to grow at the same time?
You could wax before as long as it has started to grow back before your treatment. And you’re right, shaving shouldn’t make it grow back thicker so that advice does not seem congruent with what we know about current hair physiology.
I find that after I shave, I can have more issues with skin chaffing, like the hair that was there acted as a barrier to protect my skin rubbing against other skin. After laser hair removal, is it likely that chaffing could become a ‘permanent’ issue?
It seems that I never can rid of my hair on my chin I go wax my chin every week or two weeks I would like to get my chin hair removed permanently what could i do
Hi 👋 Dr Ellis, a lot of people who seek out laser hair removal treatments will also have stretchmarks in areas that have hair, can laser hair removal machine also improve the appearance of stretchmarks, would you be hitting two birds with one stone?
I have stretch marks on my thighs, and I have done 8-9 sessions of laser hair removal on my legs. It hasn't changed the appearance of the stretch marks.
Hey quick question... My operater said this to me that lazer would effect just fine in some parts of my body and woud not works in some other parts(like areas with thinner hair but also dark hair as same as the rest of my body) she believes that it woud cuase growing thicker hair.... My question is "is there Really a difference? "
Can a laser hair removal treat fungal acne or make it less visible? Because I read fungal acne is where your hair follicle is inflamed… and laser hair removal should help shouldn’t it?
There are other treatments for acne, pixel or skin resurfacing, LED blue light, IPL for acne, skin products like AHA(Salicylic acid) BHA (Benzyl Peroxide), glycolic Acid, Malic Acid, chemical Peels. And prescription medications Accutane.

Thanks for the information! I noticed you mentioned that they wouldn’t have used the laser if the skin was tanned…so the skin needs to be it’s natural color when treated?
Thanks again for the informative content. I have a couple of questions: Is it safe to do laser hair removal between the eyebrows or anywhere close to the eyes? What type of laser do you use in your practice or which one is the most recommended for olive skin?

I have chronic folliculitis on my arms and I just finished 6 months of accutane which made it sooo much worse.

Does laser hair removal have any reproductive side affects? Thank you!! Such a great video!
No, but you can't get laser hair removal if you're pregnant or breastfeeding
@@mylene_b why not if it has no affects on these things?
@@supernice_auto because it's not ethical to do double blind studies on pregnant women, so it's never done. She said it was safe, she just wouldn't recommend it.

Is it really necessary to stop using Retin-A Micro 3 days or some people say even a whole week before laser hair removal? My skin is acclimated already, been using this stuff for like 6 months, I don't get peeling, irritation or inflammation anymore... But I don't know if it is making my skin more sensitive *shrugs* not asking for personalized medical advice, obviously I need to consult with my doctor regarding that, and I will do whatever my doctor advises but I just want a generalized answer from you whether that is still really necessary or just an old fashioned baseless advice?
can a man get a full brazillian laser hair treatment ?
You look so beautiful
I have dark arm hair, but in the summer it bleaches with even a slight amount of sun exposure (I do wear sunscreen 👍). Am I right in assuming laser will still be effective because the follicle beneath the skin will contain the darker pigment?
Thank you for the video! I have a question! 🙋♀️
I did laser removal once, and it was part of the treatment to shave between sessions, so that the hair would grow thicker, and the treatment would be more effective. I found this weird since I hear most people say hair does not grow thicker when shaved. Is this really part of the treatment?
🙋♀️Second question: ideally we want most of the hair to be in growth fase so that the laser can target the folicle (I think?). In order to achieve that, wouldn't it be helpful to do some waxing before, to get most of them to grow at the same time?
You could wax before as long as it has started to grow back before your treatment. And you’re right, shaving shouldn’t make it grow back thicker so that advice does not seem congruent with what we know about current hair physiology.
@@DrSamEllis if v ll not take maintenance sessions hairs will be grow same as plz tell me is laser hair reduction worth in India or not
Great video but the background music is distracting and 10/10 annoying trippy weirdness
I'm starting my process of hair removal with laser at a spa but the technician told me i have to shave 4 days before the treatment, is it true?
I find that after I shave, I can have more issues with skin chaffing, like the hair that was there acted as a barrier to protect my skin rubbing against other skin. After laser hair removal, is it likely that chaffing could become a ‘permanent’ issue?
It seems that I never can rid of my hair on my chin I go wax my chin every week or two weeks I would like to get my chin hair removed permanently what could i do
Hi 👋 Dr Ellis, a lot of people who seek out laser hair removal treatments will also have stretchmarks in areas that have hair, can laser hair removal machine also improve the appearance of stretchmarks, would you be hitting two birds with one stone?
I have stretch marks on my thighs, and I have done 8-9 sessions of laser hair removal on my legs. It hasn't changed the appearance of the stretch marks.
