Why does hair still grow back after laser hair removal sessions?

Some growth after getting laser hair removal treatments is expected, but don’t freak out, as this doesn’t mean that your procedure was ineffective. Since the beginning of laser treatments, it’s been marketed as “laser hair removal” instead of what it really is which is a reduction.

Laser treatments reduce the number of hair follicles in each area by heating and damaging them. When hair follicles are damaged, they cannot produce hair, but eventually, some follicles heal and will regrow hair. Getting a series of laser hair removal sessions will damage the follicles more than a single appointment, making the treatment results and smooth skin longer lasting.

If the area that you are treating with laser hair removal sessions comes back after your initial series of treatments, you may need to schedule a follow-up session. There are a variety of factors that can dictate how many treatments you will need to effectively reduce hair growth and it is different from person to person. For instance, hair color, skin tone, sun exposure, and hormone levels can affect the results of your treatment sessions and their longevity.

Growth after new laser hair removal treatments should be less noticeable after each session, and even with minimal regrowth, you can expect your skin to be smoother than ever before.
