After 1 brazilian Laser hair removal (LHR) treatment I decided that I wanted to keep some hair. Only "after" the LHR session I panicked and have been feeling very uncomfortable since then with my choice to have a brazilian. So I want to know if it is possible to have a traditional bikini LHR. Specifically, I want to know if my hair will grow back (even though it has ALL shedded) if do not continue LHR treatment on the mound/labia area. Also, I want to know if the new thin hairs that grow - if they grow back at all - will thicken if I shave often. At the moment I have no hair and the skin is smooth, but it's been only 3 weeks since my first and only LHR treatment.

Answer: Regret having Laser Hair Removal after 1 session: Will my hair grow back?
Hi A214. Your suggestion is exactly our protocol. For high strength hydroquinone use (over 4%) we require a 1 month resting period after 3 months of use. If you have been off for a month, we would think it ok to go back on. Good luck.
Thank you for your question. I would recommend a diode laser with a longer wavelength such as a 1064nm. This will be more gentle on skin with darker pigment while still effectively removing hair, it also is more efficient for this situation then electrolysis. Stay out of the sun for as long as...
