Sun protection is important, especially in areas exposed to sunlight. Solarium should not be used. Laser systems should not be used to remove hair under the eyebrows. They can be used for the area between the eyebrows.

Paradoxical Hypertrichosis (Increased Hair Growth)

It most commonly occurs after the treatment of vellus hair on the face and neck or around the treated areas. Although the exact cause is unknown, it is thought to be due to damage to thin and light-colored hair due to subtherapeutic thermal damage and stimulation of growth before the hair can be destroyed.

If the patient has a disease such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, uses treatments such as corticosteroids and finasteride, and has a Skin type III-IV, this poses a higher risk. To prevent this effect, using high energy, cooling the surrounding tissues, switching the application again after a week, and changing the session intervals to 4- It is recommended that it not be longer than 6 weeks. After development, it is recommended to continue with the same laser but with higher energy.
