Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Yes it is a concern. I've had four photoderm treatments and was told before beginning that my facial hair would be affected. Sure enough most facial hair in the areas treated with photoderm did fall out. I was told this would not be permanent. It has been six weeks since my last treatment and it appears that my facial hair is growing back. > > HI, > > Among the men in the group who've had photoderm, how many have had > the treatments throughout the face, including the bearded regions? > My derm did not do photoderm along the beard due to the risk of hair > destruction. > > Is this a concern? > > Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
