Jonith Breadon, MD answers: Paradoxical Hypertrichosis after Laser Hair Removal
I experienced Paradoxical Hypertrichosis or hair regrowth after 2 laser hair removal treatments. I cannot find anywhere whether this is a transient side effect or permanent. Will this be permanent? What can be done about it?
