2 weeks after I had my first session using IPL method in the bikini area, I noticed that most (not all) hair went away without much effort. And my question is: the hair that fell out happened to be in active growth phase and their follicle has been destroyed (so they are “permanently” gone) OR all the hair are meant to fall out and the ones that have been destroyed won't grow back? If the second is true, why haven't all the hair fallen out? Maybe my beauty therapist has missed some spots?
