Hi I m a female, 27yrs old. Had some IPL sessions a few years ago on my facial hair but stopped after 4 sessions because didn t notice any results and was too painful. Anyway during that time, the therapist suggested to remove my sideburns with IPL so I agreed. I d always had a bit more hair than my friends (I m asian with dark hair). My sideburns were dark and prominent but the hair texture was fine and soft (like baby hair i guess). Anyway, she shaved them completely and now I m stuck with the stupid mess! They just look awful, now they grow thick and coarse like the hair on my head and I have to shave them daily! Even when i do shave them you can notice the dark hair follicles on my skin (like when a fair man with dark hair has shaved his beard). I can never wear my hair up again, it s totally awful i m always hiding the sides of my face now. Please please help me!
