Brazilian Laser Hair Removal: Will Hair That Has Fallen out Grow Back?

Tags: female, hair growth, pubic

Very embarrassing but I went for my 1st session of brazilian LHR and I was so busy worrying about the pain I stupidly forgot to tell them to leave a landing strip. It was very effective on me since a LOT of the hair has fallen out already. Is it too late for a landing strip? If I don't treat this area in my next couple sessions will the hair that fell out from the first treatment grow back? Right now, I have many hair free patches in the landing strip area and I'm hoping it will grow back! Tnx!!

Fortunately, in your case, light-assisted hair removal generally required multiple sessions. Some of the hair is gone permanently after one session but most will likely grow back. You now have an opportunity to communicate what you want.

Often a single laser hair removal treatment with shorter pulse durations can result in nearly total epilation of the hair follicles in the treatment area. It is important to know that a majority of these hairs are likely to regrow. Generally, about 15% of hairs are permanently removed with each laser treatment. Long-term hair removal depends on hair color,... more
