Menopause eliminated 95% of my leg hair. That hair found a new home on my upper lip and chin.
Right?!?!?
😂 so true!
Haha, mine has migrated to my chin
😂😂😂😂 you made my day😻💐
Finally! Someone talking about the risk of triggering more hair growth with laser hair removal. Electrolysis was the best decision I ever made.
Did you have it done in only certain areas or whole body?
@@angiev2648 face (which made it worse) and underarms (which was fine)
Laser Hair removal was the best investment in myself❤ I haven’t shaved in 10 years
It's interesting in the fact that so much emphasis money, research and study is put on saving the hair in one area of the body while removing it in other areas of the body!
if only there were a cream that would grow hair where we wanted and remove it where we don't, lol
@@DrDrayzday It would be at the top of anything sold! LOL
Lol! So true, Uncle Charlie! 😂 I hope you had a nice day. Crazy weather here lately. Hot and humid one day, cold and rainy the next. 🤷 Happy Friday!! Peace, joy and many blessings , my friend. 🙏🕊☕
@@marylawman8603 have a nice weekend! The 90 day count down of heat is coming!☀️
I have fair skin and dark hair, so hair growth on my upper lip and chin was very obvious and really impacted my confidence. I chose electrolysis for removal. I experienced very little discomfort and had no side effects. The process was time intensive, but the cost per session was very manageable. I have not had any regrowth of hair at all and it’s been at least two years since my last session. Having electrolysis was one of the best decisions I’ve made to enhance my appearance.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm curious what was the recovery time after treatment, was your face swollen, red?
Same. It depends on skin sensitivity and the area being treated. For me i would feel sore for a couple of days, a little redeness. Using aloe gel helps.
I had no swelling except for a little around the upper lip area, but is subsided in 5-6 hours.
No swelling at all in my experience.
Sooo silly ol me did laser hair removal a couple of years ago at a medspa filled with mean people. Told the lady I had PCOS beforehand. I paid 5k for a whole year's worth of full body laser hair removal with the Alex laser, I think? Hair grew back thicker and with more density. The owner THEN chose to tell me about the adverse side effects with PCOS (after the fact), basically said "Oh well", and didn't offer to give me my money back or something else she could do for a discount. So now I'm here with more hair, and I have to wax every week. I pray for the day I can afford electrolysis. All that pain for nothing.
As an electrologist , electrolysis is the only FDA approved permanent hair removal.
Laser hair removal is not FDA approved?? I did not know that! Can I ask you how electrolysis affects tattoos? And how it affects acne scars/stretch marks? Also I've seen only one or 2 electrolysis devices for at home use... while I'm sure it's highly encouraged to seek a licensed professional, do you know if it works/or if it's safe?
@@alyese_01the at-home stuff is garbage I tried it and wasted my money. Electrolysis go more into the root if I'm not mistaken which is hard to do on your own. Laser can also cause hair growth in some areas if you didn't have it before. I grew a ton of hair under my face bc they did lasee there and it wasn't needed. Electrolysis has killed that and all of my upper lip. I'd see if you can find a practioner near you. Mine did a free consult so I could ask questions. She even showed me how it worked on my leg and to reduce pain levels.
@@alyese_01Laser hair removal is FDA approved, but it’s not 100% permanent. Most people have to get touch ups once every couple years.
I went the electrolysis route, it cost a fortune but it was worth every penny
Anyone else wants to become a dermatologist for the sole purpose of treating themselves ? 😑
Yup!
I got a home IPL and it actually worked. No more pit hair for over a year now!
which one ?
@@user-py7tt Braun Silk expert Pro 3 IPL I should note that I have light skin tone and dark hair so that might be a factor in how well it worked for me.
I use silkn
finally started on electrolysis. best decision ever. electrolysis is a permanent hair removal unlike laser hair removal.
Totally agree. Gold standard and worth every cent.
Laser removal can be permanent but isn’t guaranteed. I have had almost my entire body treated and with the exception of my face (hormonal PCOS) none of it has come back.
@@violas.86 exactly. I need something that is guaranteed. Plus I don’t want laser on my skin.
I had electrolysis on my face in my 30's. The hair started to grow back during perimenopause.
@@Cookie7294When you kill the hair follicle, it doesn't come back. You just had previous hair follicles activated again.
I just love your professionalism in your videos. I love that you really check all the boxes to give all the most accurate info. Not that doctors cant laugh or have fun in a video, but for me, it makes me feel like im getting info from a reliable source. Thanks! :)
I’m currently 29, south Asian with medium skin tone. I have done professional laser hair removal for years. It did help stop hair growth temporarily but it was never permanent for me. I decided to try the Kenzie to save time and money, which was a huge mistake. After using it in my face for about 2-3 months, I lost so much fat on my face and around my orbital bone. Aged more in 2 months than I have in 7 years. I’m currently looking for ways to help remedy this now cuz I’m having really bad body dysmorphia. One day when I have the money to do electrolysis, I will do that, but until then, I’ll stick to waxing.
wishing you the best of luck
Yes, always super helpful ❤️
Happy weekend Dr Dray…see you tomorrow x🤩💙
Hi Dr Dray, I love your videos! You've been such a comforting support by walking with me through my skin care journey. Thank you for that.
Would you consider doing a video on the best way to use an epilator and its pros and cons compared to other hair removal methods?
Lots of love from the Netherlands! 🌷🧡
I’ve had laser hair removal on my under arms, mustache & bikini area. Worked like a charm 👍🏻
Laser hair removal is the best choice I’ve ever made & I wish I did it sooner. However I haven’t kept up with maintenance treatments so I have a few random hairs that grow here and there

I have a Kenzie & really like it, it has made it so I hardly have to shave anymore. I used to have to shave my legs everyday because my leg hair was very dark & I hate the feel of stubble! I need to use it more often than I do & then I’ll probably be rid of all of it & wont have to shave again. Maybe I’ll have to do it every several months to keep the hair gone, I’m not sure! Have a great weekend!❤️
Thanks Doc! ❤ I just signed up for laser! had my 1st treatment and really did see a reduction...I mean I was plucking my upper lip and chin constantly! I had tweezers stashed everywhere because it was a daily chore.
I had my 5th session a week and a half ago (armpits and bikini area). Over half my hair is gone and what’s left has been falling out with the slightest tug. It’s amazing
Happy Friday!
happy friday
Electrolysis worked for me for facial hair. It took a year but 20 years later, all is good.
Awesome channel 😊 could you maybe do a video about, how long, one should see results from ones skincare, like serums, moisture cream and more. Like do they all take the same time or🤔
With love from Denmark 🤘🎉
Unless I win a raffle or radio contest that gives either of these as prizes my wallet will decide that Venus Gillette is right for me 😂💯
Yes, it's really expensive
😂
honestly i thought the same but i found a place that is relatively affordable! $19/session for underarms and $39 for brazillian here in Socal
@@Deannajsoto where? Is that in the USA?
It’s really not that bad!! I thought it would be too, but it really depends on where you go.
I had most of my areas lasered off about 10 years ago with a Groupon ( remember those?). It has worked really well and saved me a ton of time in the following years. The only Parts I have to shave now are by my ankle because I have a tattoo and they don't do lasers around tattoos because they will fade.
Very fair skin here, with light blonde hair that the laser can´t read,
I fear electrolysis because I read it can give bad scars also years later due to collagen getting damaged by the heat, regardless of the method used. Many online forums and reviews seem to confirm this and I chicken out every time I feel like trying
Did blended electrolysis 25 years ago along the bikini line and lower legs. It took several sessions over 1.5 years (every few months) and required numbing cream but it was one of the best things I ever did. It is a slow and sometimes painful process but it has stayed GONE except for a few hairs that are much finer. I did have one experience with infection where it created a boil-like sore. It went away but did discolor for a while.
How did you manage that on your bikini line? You must be built of steel! 😱😂 The laser hurt bad enough down there.
@@violas.86The weird thing is that some spots were absolutely painless and some were very spicy, with no rhyme or reason. I also did just the areas outside of the bikini, not the private bits!
Ive had full brazilian done. Electrolysis. Some areas dont hurt much… some
Others tho… you just tough it the f out and now i dont have to shave or wax or anything🤣
Electrolysis is a godsend. Laser never really did anything for me as my body hair is pale blonde. Would recommend 100%
I did an online consultation for laser hair removal and was asked if I had a history of skin cancer. I said yes, my mom had a melanoma and I’ve had two squamous cell carcinomas. After telling them this, they immediately rejected me as a candidate. They didn’t tell me why, but I assumed, maybe lasers are shooting UV rays into the skin and it could cause skin cancer if you’re at a high risk. But you made no mention of it - sooo I feel so confused now. Is there zero risk of skin cancer from laser?
I’m wondering the same thing I hope she will answer
I’m in South Africa for a temporary period of time. Here laser hair removal is far more affordable so I decided to go for it. Never could afford it back in Texas!
Is it because the people aren't trained properly?
@@SchlichteToven It’s probably cheaper because overseas countries have lower cost of living than the US and the dollar exchange can be a good arbitrage too
@@SchlichteTovenwhy would that be your first instinct?
You can also use a combination of the two methods
Laser hair removal in armpits removed most of the hair. It hasn't grown back. Both electrolysis and laser on my face worked, but not 100%. Would probably redo electrolysis as much of the facial hair has lost pigment.
Laser was very effective in my bikini area but wasn’t on my chin etc. I did electrolysis there and after the initial series of treatments I go back twice a year to check for any small hairs
I did have electrolysis on my upperlip zone and I really love it!!! ❤❤❤
Have a great Friday all!
You too!
Is it safe and effective to use sunscreen/bug repellent combo? Or does it work better using a separate sunscreen once absorbed, then put on bug repellent?
I have fair skin and dark hair and had laser treatment on my legs, bikini line and underarms about 15 years ago. It was an investment at the time but it was also life changing for me - waxing,shaving, depilation only gave me a week or two max and I live in a sunny climate and like to do things like swim and wear shorts - and for this past 15 years I have not had to think about if I need to shave (or those shower calisthenics) PS I had tried electrolysis on the bikini line and it was painful and relatively ineffective
Can we apply clindamycin phosphate gel usp after applying cetaphil and hybrid Sun control??
Same question goes for tretinoin gel. Can we apply it after applying cetaphil??
Should we apply clindamycin on our whole face or on the affected areas only??
Hey Dr Dray! I’m wondering what your thoughts are re: laser hair removal (specifically in the groin area) for HS management. Have you seen this help any of your HS patients? I’ve had to come off my biologic after developing PRES syndrome and struggling to manage my HS without it, wondering if laser hair removal would be worth the investment as part of my “managing HS” plan. Thanks so much as always!
Do you recommend getting laser hair removal done by other professionals like RNs? Or is it better to go to a dermatologist?
Any info on how electrolysis vs IPL vs laser hair removal affects tattoos? I would also love to hear about if the at home devices for these are safe!

Can you make a vid about acne nodules?
Good morning Dr. Dray I forgot my sunscreen in the glove compartment in the car for almost 2 days Is it OK to continue use?
sunscreen can breakdown and become ineffective at extreme temperatures, such as a hot car
I've had fab results with my Philips home IPL device. I can now go about 3 months before I need to use it again on my legs x
I am curious about IPL..is it like laser and you can use on the face? What is your skin tone? I am just trying to figure out if it's worth buying.
@apip6387 you can use it on your face, I have a light skin tone, it works best on light skin with darker hairs 🙂
Do you believe in those red light masks? Is it just lightbulb with red colouring?
What's the dog's name?
I bought a Braun IPL device and on the box there is a warning about not using it if you’ve had skin cancer. Is there any risk of UV skin damage using an IPL?
Electrolysis is the best thing i ever did for myself, and lasik! Hurts so much- like more than a tattoo, muuuuch more than botox. But totally worth it. Avoid going before your period. Use a numbing cream if you must.
Did you use numbing creaming or no ?
@@WrdSel i used numbing cream on certain areas like underarms or… ehem… the lady bits 😅 it helps but doesn’t 100% take away pain. But again, totally worth the pain.
So how DO we get rid of vellus hair on face and neck?
Do these apply to those with pcos?
I started out with the home laser ( Tria) & later bought the IPL device ( Silkn flash n go) with the bigger window on it. Very effective.
These days i was and still am thinking about laser. To be more specific i was thinking will laser for hair removal be effective for the prevention of pilonidal cyst ? Can't laser totally remove hair from that specific area ,In order not to worry about hair reappearance ?. I want to thank you Doctor Andrea for listing the pros and cons about these two techniques (electrolysis and laser) 😊❤ they really help out a lot.
Laser hair removal may help prevent pilonidal cysts. There will always be the potential for new hair to start growing in the future, but it can lead to permanent hair reduction
Electrolysis leaves sub cutaneous scarring. if the practitioner is not talented, you can see it right away. I had it done 20 years ago (Before laser was available) and my practitioner was very careful but now I can see that the scarring is showing up. I still had to go for laser treatment and the laser was much more effective. Electrolysis is much more painful than laser.
Um so... was your practitioner talented or not?
I’ve been doing electrolysis on my armpits for over a year now and it really helped, cause there only a few hairs left, but it’s expensive af
No more expensive than laser where I am-€30 per half hour, €15 for 15 minutes.
@@greenknitter in my country I spend about 40 bucks for an hour of electrolysis (and I have 6-8hours sessions each months for my armpits, lower legs and bikini), so it’s about 300 bucks totally, but laser hair removal costs about a hundred for all zones that I’ve mentioned. I think in Europe or in the USA prices are three times higher.
@@user-jd3tv6cn1oin my country one hours costs 100 euro.
Thoughts on using a sulfur mask while on low dose accutane ?
if it isnt too drying, some find it helpful
I guess I couldn't get laser hair removal on my legs! The hair is platinum blonde and my skin is super white. No contrast and no melanin. Bummer!
I’m African American. Medium brown, caramel color, dark hair. Laser grew back as soon as I stopped getting it done, within months. Electrolysis was permanent for many many years until I started HRT and was given too much testosterone. So irritating. A few spots on my chin that had stopped growing started growing again. I will need to get it done again on the follicles that were stimulated and regrew. 😩
Once electrolysis is done on a certain half follicle that follicle is dead forever. The new hairs you see will have been stimulated in a different hair follicle but in the same area X
What is IPL devices? Are they same as laser and how they work for different skin tone? They seem to be cheaper than laser. I baught Tria laser device long time ago. I was not consistent with it, I saw reduction by 50% and they grow slowly. But not so affective on face.
I’ve been getting laser hair removal on my face for years. My hair just keeps growing back, but the procedure helps keep the growth to a minimum. I get the IPL laser. I’m Latina with medium light skin. I do get cold sores, but I haven’t had a breakout due to the procedure as of yet.
I get it every 4 to 6 to 8 weeks, depending on how regular I attend the sessions. If I’m consistent, then I can stretch the time further between sessions. It’s annoying that the hair just keeps growing back, but at least it’s minimum to the point where I can’t really see it or feel it until weeks later. The hair growth is very fine and slow, so I’m okay with what I’ve got to work with.
Honestly I did the same and then went for electrolysis. Night and day difference on results. The only permanent solution for hair removal is electrolysis. Lasers just lighten the hair and make them finer but you will keep spending money on them.
Please try electrolysis if you want to get rid of them once and for all. Can be painful and costly but I'm very glad I did it.
Is it growing back or are new dark hairs developing? If it is hormone related then that is probably why. I have been treating mine for 40 years and due to PCOS i still and will always have some dark hairs coming in.
I’ve had paradoxical hypertrichosis when I did laser with my dermatologist on the chin. My sister had suffered from it already so I asked if there would be any risk and the dermatologist said no…. 6 month later I had hair on the neck. Luckily I started electrolysis one year ago and there is almost nothing left
Maybe because I have a deeper skin tone I dunno
(Sorry for my English i am French )
Hiii
Can you use laser hair removal if you use tretinoin?
I am struggling to find true old school electrolysis in Austin, TX. It's all laser everywhere!!! Any recommendations??
Hii mam
Will electrolysis damage tattoos?
One issue is, off the hair grows straight, but the Papilla may not be growing in that line. Mine goes on an angle. The needle never being able to get to the papilla itself during electrolysis. The electrolysis was ineffective.
Sounds like you had a poorly trained tecnician. Had about a dozen sessions or more on my chin and neck and once the hairs were zapped they stayed gone.
Why the fact that laser can actually trigger more hair growth in some people was not introduced earlier by professionals? I still can't comprehend that.
In the past they said its a rare side effect and still are.
But I think its a lot more common and I noticed a lot of people sufffering esp girls incluing myself.
Please review Marin Skincare and their "lobster goo" proteins that help skin conditions. Is it legit?
Has anyone checked out Current Body’s laser hair removal device? It’s not IPL but supposed to be like the “proper” laser
I had electrolysis on my lower legs
over 35 years ago.
Effective and reasonable cost!
So no point of doing lazer hair removal to "decrease" before doing electrolysis treatment ?
I wouldnt waste my
Money on laser before electrolysis. Take it from me- I did do laser before i discovered electrolysis.

PCOS Person here! My derm told me electrolysis is the better option for hormonal hair growth. I have my first session next week. This was very informative and helpful, so thank you!
Had electrolysis done ONCE. Back in the 90's, I went for one treatment to see if this might work on my upper lip. I'm of Italian decent, but with pale olive skin and dark brown hair. It was very uncomfortable, I got very red and had irritated bumpy skin for over a week afterwards. I've been shaving once a week or so ever since. Many blessings to all💖💖💖
Aw..so sorry for your experiences the upper lip and near nostril are the most sensitive areas for this procedure. I used Elma with Saran Wrap to numb area 1hour before appt. Still hurt like h*ll. Moderately successful.
I got new hair growth from lazer hair removal. It happened to me, I think, because I use minoxidil.
Hey doc❤ please suggest whats best option for vagina hair removal who grow hair very quickly on medium brown skin
It would be great if they sold and electrolysis affordable at home device or a laser at home device that worked 😢

Could be risky if you're not a trained professional though.

I’ve had laser hair removal and electrolysis. Laser can cause hyperpigmentation. Electrolysis gave me really bad ingrowns
Look for a recommendation for a better tecnician for electrolysis. Mine was terrific and no ingrown hairs.
Depending on your skin tone, definitely look for derms/technicians who specialize in that and know what they are doing. Type of laser counts as well.
Home laser removed my leg hair ten years ago haven’t shaved since same with underarms and bikini
I did both and nothing happened for me …
I had something done I don't know which one it was but that woman almost killed me.... I went there twice cost me $300 and you cant tell I had anything done... she was supposed to have put some kind of numbing cream on me I don't think she did
are jobs tears in a toner bad ?
no, it can be hydrating and soothing
Did Laser hair removal at LaserAway...don't do it. No refunds and they lie during the whole sales process. It's high-pressure sales. All the hair reduction I experienced has come back. Sadly, the areas I want permanent removal are large, like my back and shoulders, so it'd become quite tedious and overwhelming. That's why I tried to do laser first. My advice: just spend that $$$ on electrolysis so you get some guarantee of results.
After permanent hair removal the skin loses its -how can I describe I m not sure but- elasticity, think it damages the skin. This is my observation and I am expecting other people's comment.
Not my observation at all. And i have literally had laser treatments everywhere on my body. Also electrolysis and no issues.
Good video. I wish I could afford. 😂
I'm red-haired, so only electrolysis works. It really takes such a looong time and costs a lot of money. I wish I could use a laser or even better one of those home IPL devices. I really envy everyone that has great results with IPL.
I have a lot of hair unfortunately.
Seeing and watching this just 20 mins after posting feels kinda embarrassing lol like I promise I’m not a stalker I just am a skin tube addict 😅
I paid for 6 sessions, and the first one was done with IPL, not laser (unbeknownst to me at the time), and then they closed after my third session and I never got my money back 🙃
I have little time, and I want to spend my $ on things that enrich me- just a personal choice. I wax, I pluck, use those little razors on peach fuzz.
I just wish I could get laser hair removal but I have very light skin and super light blonde hair. So I guess my only option is electrolysis
Yes. Same with my red hair. Laser does not work.
👉 Another Caution with Laser Hair Removal: Not effective on gray hair!
Grey hair is just like blonde or red hair. It lacks melanin and hence laser does not work.
Life is upside down due to a mischievous wild child named Luna....but eventually I get here. 💜💜💜
I have a condition called MEN 1
This is not really accurate. Electrolysis is the only way of permanent hair removal, while laser is only slowing down the growth. Electrolysis destroys the hair follicle so there is literally nowhere for a new hair to grow out of. It does take years to completely get rid of all hairs within an area, but it does work and they never grow back (unless you have a hormonal issue that triggers hirsutism).
Wasted time and money on laser hair removal. Electrolysis is superior. While it requires some patience, after two years, I no longer have hair on my face or underarms.
I wonder if I could be in the small percentage of those who have more hair growth after laser treatment. I had four treatments at my dermatologist’s office last year. I never felt like it worked. I have just as much if not more hair growth than before. I have been planning to go back for some follow ups but have not yet. I’m 57 and am on HRT that includes testosterone, so I also wondered if that could be contributing to the growth or effectiveness of the treatments. My doctor decreased my testosterone about 9 months ago, but it hasn’t seemed to help. I have to shave or derma-plane about every other day, along with tweezing and I feel like it’s affecting my skin. I still have pretty good skin, but I feel like all the shaving causes more breakouts and is causing my skin not to be as smooth. Of course I look in a magnifying mirror every day, so I’m sure that does not help-I see every little thing! 🫣😬🫣. Any suggestions Dr. Dray?
Thank you! 😊🇨🇱😊
can you talk about IPL at home devices? I did laser hair removal for a year for my legs, stomach, brazilian at a dermatologist office and I had no hair reduction AT ALL. I have PCOS and take birth control so im not sure if that impacted my results but it was extremely expensive for me to no have any positive outcome. still trying to figure out how to get rid of hair 🥲
She has an older one on the Kenzzi. I've seen Dr Davin Lim (Australia) talk about the Nira and Ulike. Beauty Beyond 40 talks about a lot of devices (and that's the background she comes from). The Organic Esthetician has talked about some lasers as well like Nira and Lyma.
@@db-gb5xi thank you so much!!
I'm not an expert or anything, but I've spent a good amount of time researching. Just be aware that some of those offices will use too low of settings on purpose in order to keep you coming back and spending more money. I went with Milan since they have a lifetime deal and use one of the best lasers on the market. Maybe figure out what type of laser your old spa used. The Candela Gentle Max Pro is one of the best ones to use if you can find a place that uses it. If you have PCOS, I personally don't think the at home IPL will help much, especially in the long run, but you may get a slight reduction with consistent use.
