Question
ok its been about a month since my first treatment. i had my lower stomach "happy trail" done. i had thick hair there before. i havent shaved at all and its not growing except for a very few sparse hairs and they are fine hairs. i am pretty happy with the results except for the fact that i still have a 5 oclock shadow thing going on. they look kinda like ingrowns. i've picked at a few and they came out and they were VERY short hairs i guess that were stuck under the skin. apparently theyve stopped growing but they are stuck under the skin and arent shedding and its been a month. i'm a little worried about this. is it normal? is it supposed to shed after multiple sessions? i mean its great that the hair isnt growing anymore but i still cant show off my stomach because i still have the black dots. anyone with the same experience? any advice would be great.

Answer
these are called pepperspots and you can read about them by running a search on this forum. they are normal. you can make them shed faster by rubbing gently with a loofa in the shower. they will eventually shed. this is normal.
