What happens if I stop LHR after 2 sessions?

Question

I am getting Laser Hair Removal on my bikini area but I don't want all the hair gone, I would like there to be remaining but fine hair. Will that be the case if I stop after 2-3 sessions? Or will some of the hair not grow back at all? Thank you.

Hello, my name is Ranen and I work by Dr. Shah's office.  I have some patients who don't want to be completely bare in the brazillian area, but unfortunately doing 2-3 laser hair removal treatments may reduce the amount of hair in a certain area, but cant gurantee that the results will last.  It may grow back like before after a few months to a year.

Unfortunately, there is not a way to guarantee the hair will just thin out and not completely kill the hair follicle. With that being said laser hair removal does not last forever! Typically we require 2 touch up appointments a year to maintain your result.

Many times, laser hair removal permanently removes hair after the first treatment. So if you stop after 2-3 sessions, you might see that your hair is growing back in patches. It may also be fine when it grows back...but again, it may grow back in patches.Reach out to Skin Healthy Medspa and Wellness Center in Keller, TX if I can be of further assistance.
