Answer
Hi - I had LHR on 8/30 and what you are describing is normal. The area I had treated (chin and upper lip) was much the same as it usually had been for about five days afterward - stubbly and prickly. It started to shed on 9/4 and A LOT of it has fallen out. It hasn't felt this smooth in five years!
I would just give it a couple more days before you start to see shedding. After about five or six days time, you should be able to give a slight tug on the hair and it should come out easily. From other messages I've read here, it should take about 2-3 weeks for it to finish shedding.
I know waiting to see results is the hardest part....but they will come and you will love it!

Answer
Your hair won't start shedding for almost 2-3 weeks, some will be obvious - sometimes you won't even realize it. It is VERY common not to see great results with the legs until about the 3rd treatment. Only 20% of your hair is actively growing (meaning will be able to be effected) and the growth cycle can take up to 6 monts. Give the legs a little extra time. I noticed after my 2nd treatment that I would go about 4 days without "having" to shave.

Answer
Shedding starts sometime about 1.5 weeks after the treatment and it takes up to 3 weeks for all treated hair to shed.
