Microderm with Laser--together?


I'm too lazy to scroll back in the old JEs and see if my question has already been answered. So bare with me if you've already dealt with the topic.

Today I went for my first laser hair removal appointment (ie. upper lip). And for those who have been told that it feels like a mosquito bite, or by ones who are little more imaginative, an elastic band. They are LIARS! It hurt like HE*L (you know the place where Satan lives).

My question is this: Can laser and microdermabrasion be done together? I know one shouldn't wax/pluck days/weeks prior to the procedure. But what about microderm?

Any Thoughts?

my mom and khalas and grannie swore by the besan (flour?) trick - u know, make a paste, sub it on a baby's / child's hairy area and it's like waxing, it works over time. they swear its worked for generations, but didn't love me enough to give it a go on me.

sadly, are desi females the only ethnic group going through this annoying hairy issue that is so a fact of life for us?

wax a newborn...wow that sounds wild

My Grandmother told me that in her days they used to take a stone (I'm assuming it's the pumice stone) and rubbed in all over babies to stop the hair from growing. It apparently worked. My Grandma/mother/Khala have no hair. Where was the stone when I was born dammit!

I don't think anything is Permanent! Just because of changes in the body and stuff.
It's true, women have to go through sooo much, thank goodness, I have heardly anything!!!
It's crazy, I know this girl, and she says they have a family tradition, that when a girl is born, they wax her, it's suppose to stop hair growth...I don't know if it's true because babies are sooo sensitive when they are new borns, but she swears it works!

yeah the hair does grow back...but it's better then hair growing back within days/weeks.... I always feel like that Seinfeld episode where Seinfeld shaves his chest to impress his girlfriend and is stuck in a bus with her and his hair starts growing back...haha like a werewolf. What we women have to go thru...come to think about it, where's the trend of embracing our facial hair? :P what's permanent though...electrolysis?

I think if you keep up with it, it should be okay...
Micro will make your skin feel very dry, though!
And I know Laser isn't 100% GTD. Your hair may grow back within months or years... you may have to back for it here and there.. :)

Thanks Aisha...mind you it KILLS already, what's a little more pain...sigh. But other then the pain, do you know of any other side effects. eg hyperpigmentation or decreasing of the effectiveness?

No, I don't think you can do both at the same time.
I had micro done, and that removes 2-3 layers of your skin each session, so your skin becomes really sensitive. I don't think you can do laser at the same time, that would Kill and make it extra sensitive...
