Answer
The little clog follicles after laser are normal. Lots of ppl complain about this when they get facial LHR. Just keep the area clean (make-up free) and swab it with witch hazel or an antibacterial toner or something.
If you're gone until November 18-19, then your 5th treatment would be approximately 10 wks from your 4th. Since you've already had 4 treatments, I would say it woudln't make THAT big a deal. It's not like because you wait 10 wks for your 5th treatment you're screwed and have to start at the beginning of the process again or anything. Just go in for your 5th session as soon as you get back and you'll be fine. The more sessions you get, the longer it takes for the hair to grow back, and the less the re-growth is as well, so you really shouldn't have a problem at all.

Answer
what laser is being used on you btw? at what fluences?

Answer
i really have no idea what he uses for the first 2 times. actualyl the third one was doen at onther laser center but the doctor was same. no idea. he uses two types .. one that gives red light & the other i think isnt red .. i asked the helper & she said for thin hair its the red one .. the other is for think hair.
F/up after 2 treatments:
G-2 improvement subjectively & objectively.
3rd time i had to tell him that keep it low because i had to attend a wedding in 3 days. also he had one machien there & the cooling wasnt that much & this time not even slight burns. i try to vear best as i can becasue i think the more im able to bear the mroe results will be better.
third time he wrote for the first time these things:
Laser parameters on cool glide:
10mm
1.5 HZ
35m sec
45 j/cm2
erythema mixed
perifollicular oedema nil
maybe you might know what all this means.
thanks
