Is It Normal to Still See Hair After Laser Hair Removal?

Published in Health & Beauty 2 mins read

It is normal to still see some hair after laser hair removal, especially in the initial treatments.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin in hair follicles, destroying the hair's ability to grow. However, not all hair follicles are in the active growth phase (anagen) at the same time.

Laser treatments are most effective on hair in the anagen phase. Hair in the telogen (resting) or catagen (transitional) phase will not be affected by laser treatments.

Therefore, it is common to experience regrowth after a laser hair removal session, as the hair follicles that were not in the anagen phase during treatment will eventually enter the growth phase and produce new hair.

The number of treatments needed to achieve permanent hair reduction varies depending on factors like hair color, skin tone, and individual hair growth patterns.

It's important to follow your technician's instructions and attend all scheduled appointments for optimal results.

If you are concerned about hair regrowth, speak with your technician. They can assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
