Sometimes around the root of the hair encrusts which lasts 7 to 10 days; in these cases, antibiotic ointments are used to fall down the crust. Laser hair may continue to develop after one to two weeks after lasers. Regrowth of hair may continue 1 to 2 weeks after laser, then to fall out. The patient should avoid be exposing at the sun, as it may take 2-3 months especially for darker skin to dampen the tanning effect of the sun and postpone the treatment to the patient. It should be noted that in some patients with history of side effects of laser hair, or the probability of side effects is more in them, the test can be used; in this case, the patient will laser a point and will visit a week later, and if there is not any problems, we begin treatment.
