#290797 - 08/21/08 11:02 AM Shaving after almost completing laser?
Leanne morning sunshine Registered: 02/06/07 Loc: Saint John NB Canada	I had several laser hair removal sessions. I have kept on shaving like i used to - including the parts were basically no hair grows anymore. Someone told me that would damage the skin too much and that i should only shave the parts were there is hair growth. Is this true?

galaxygirl Jae Mie Registered: 03/23/07 Loc: Marin County, California	Why shave an area devoid of hair? Or, do you mean that you cannot avoid the hairless areas when shaving the hairy areas? I had to shave my whole face throughout 15 months of laser, simply because the laser gradually decreased hair density fairly evenly across my face. Shaving with a Braun 8000 never seemed to irritate my skin. I never use aftershave. Instead, once I finish shaving, I rinse with cold water, pat dry, and lightly apply a good facial moisturizer like Laura Mercier or La Prairie Cellular Time Release.

The laser does leave hair on certain spots here and there. So I just didn't think about it and shaved like i have been doing for the last 25 years. Even on the spots were there is no hair at all.

Melanie Apprentice Registered: 05/08/08	You are doing no harm.I used to shave in the shower with a Shower Tech mirror and a wet / dry electric shaver. I used a little baby oil w/Aloe as my shave cream. Follow with Galaxygirl's recommendations.Stay away from any product that has alcohol listed as an ingredient. _________________________ what's it mean when the man in your bed is trashing about,breathing hard and gasping for air.....you didn't hold the pillow down long enough.

Marcella Anarcho-Nihilist Cow Registered: 03/31/03 Loc: Barn	Just do the normal shaving and moisturize. No reason to avoid the bald patches.

Samantha D Enthusiast Registered: 09/02/08	I don't know if there is any science behind the whole "shaving hurts the skin" bit. It's not like you're abrading the dermis or anything. I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, shaving helps rid your face of dead skin cells. It's like exfoliating only without the whole extra step! Edited by Samantha D (09/03/08 03:51 AM)
