I've been dealing with a ton of facial hair, and it's really driving me up the wall. I keep up with threading and waxing, but it's getting to be such a bother. Do you think laser treatments would be a smart move for me? I'm wondering how many sessions I'd need to cover my entire face. Also, are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Laser hair removal can be a good option for reducing facial hair. It is effective in targeting hair follicles and reducing hair growth over time. The number of sessions required for the entire face can vary depending on individual factors such as hair thickness and skin tone, but typically around 6-8 sessions may be needed for optimal results. Some common side effects of laser hair removal on the face may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the procedure. It is important to follow post-care instructions provided by your healthcare provider to minimize any potential side effects. You can consider using brands like Lumenis LightSheer for laser hair removal on the face. The dosage and frequency of sessions will be determined by the healthcare provider based on your individual needs.

View allI'm using this cream and every time I stop using it, my skin turns red, I get these unwanted hairs, and there are black spots too. Should I keep using it or is it better to stop?
It sounds like you may be experiencing side effects from stopping the cream. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any decisions. However, if you are using a topical steroid cream, abrupt discontinuation can lead to rebound redness and other skin issues. You may need to taper off the cream gradually to avoid these effects. Additionally, unwanted hair growth and black spots may be related to the cream you are using. I recommend using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil and a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% for any redness. Consult with your doctor for a proper tapering schedule and alternative treatment options.

I want to remove a facial mole but every doctor says there will be a scar the same size as the mole whether it's laser or surgery I really don't want a big scar on my face what are my options here's a pic of the mole
Kindly meet a Dermatologist to assess if there are other moles elsewhere in your skin.The other thing to remember is you may reconsider removal if you have given anyone of these moles as identify proof somewhere like on a passport or driving license. You can still get it removed but then you need to carry the medical certificate stating the details of the procedure. Laser and excision are two options with their independent merit and demerits. There will be any scar but a stitch line that will faint away with time and some treatment.
