I recommend laser hair removal for unwanted facial hair. Usually a series of
sessions, 3-4 weeks apart, is required. As for the bumps, these would have
to be viewed by a clinician before a strategy can be formulated.

Laser hair removal is an excellent way to permanently get rid of
unwanted hair. These are the questions we feel you should be asking and
why when trying to choose a Los Angeles laser hair removal practitioner.
1. How many laser hair removal procedures has the practitioner doing
the treatment performed? Because there are no training requirements in
the state of California for laser hair reduction, you do not require
previous experience to perform procedures. It is important that the
nurse or physician performing your procedures is experienced for safety
reasons as well as because you will generally get better results with a
practitioner that has lots of experience with many different skin types
and multiple lasers.
2. What kind of laser is being used for my laser hair removal? This is
a big issue that consumers very often overlook. If a laser that a
particular practitioner has is not ideal for your skin and hair type it
can lead to suboptimal results. This means that it can take far more
treatments to get the same amount of hair reduction and/or it might not
work well at all , and you will not get a high percentage of hair
reduction.
3. How many laser hair removal treatments will be required? The number
of treatments required is related to points 1 and 2 above. If the
correct laser is used and an experienced practitioner is doing the
treatments, you will limit the amount of treatments required.
4. What percentage of hair can I be expected to lose? For our
patients, we set the expectation that 6-8 treatments will yield a loss
of 70% - 95%. With that said, some patients may need more treatments to
achieve this and some less. It depends on the type of hair, skin and
the laser used. It is also important to note that there is a very small
percentage of the population (around 5%) that does not respond favorably
to laser hair removal and we do not know why.
5. How often will I be treated? This depends to some extent on the
area of the body being treated, but when multiple areas are involved,
the average time between treatments is 6-8 weeks.
6. What is the percentage of treatments that have side effects? In our
practice, we see about 3 in 1,000 treatments where an unexpected side
effect has occurred. This rate can be much higher if the practitioner
is not using the correct laser for your skin type.

I would highly recommend laser hair removal since it would solve the
problems of ingrown hair which leads to the formation of the bumps.
Laser hair removal when done correctly provides 90-100% permanent hair
reduction.

Laser hair removal would do wonders for you! It's a great treatment to
reduce ingrown hairs and results will be seen in 2-3 treaments, and a full
session is usually complete at 6-8 sessions.

As long as the hair is not white or very blonde, laser hair removal is the way
to go for this problem.
