Update Pt.2

Well I’m happy to say that the news I have is actually positive compared to my despair recently.

I have been using my skin lightening cream on my pigmented areas on my legs, and it was expected that I should see results within two weeks.
Twice a day (morning and night) I slapped that cream on my legs with a positive attitude. I kept applying it everyday trying not to always check the area as it would just keep hounding my mind – this can be difficult as you have to look at the area as your applying the cream everyday.

Within a week it seemed to be making progress but I didn’t get too excited as I just thought to myself this cream is only here to lighten it rather than get rid of. But as it became close to two weeks the pigmentation was so light, you wouldn’t even notice anything had been there.

From today it has been two and half weeks and the cream has finished and my pigmentation it pretty much gone. There is only a tiniest amount on my leg but I’m really happy with the results.

The only thing that seems to be freaking me out now is , this means I can carry on with my leg treatment - you may be thinking this sounds like a good thing – yes it is, its just I’m scared if this happens again. Will this mean I have to stick to a lower temperature? Which has been working fine so far for my legs (no so much for my arms) but will it be high enough to complete my six treatments?

-----------------

As for my arms – my hair growth is rapid. I haven’t shaved since my last visit to Sk:n to see the comparison of my hair growth and the small test patches I had of the higher temperature.

Out of the four test patches I had, I received burns from three of them – which doesn’t seem like its heading in the right direction. So as usual I applied my burn cream on the areas. But after a week they didn’t go away but seemed lighter. I then stopped putting the burn cream on – I guess from laziness. But within two weeks the burns went away. In spite of all this, there has not been any hair growth on those areas.

This gets me thinking - I received three out of four burns from a higher temperature, the same temperature that caused me to pigment on my legs. On just these small areas I did have treated, the burns took two weeks to fully go away. Even though its doing its job as the hair hasn’t grown back, this may mean using this higher temperature may burn my whole arm.

During the couple of weeks the burns has shown they do fade, but do the circumstances stay the same when it’s your whole arm?

This is a cringe worthy situation I have here…
