Does waxing after laser hair removal undo all the laser progress?

June 11, 2020
Asked By:Terrific762 in Arlington, VA

I got 6 treatments of laser hair removal on my face and it was clear I would need more treatments but I wasn't able to renew my treatments for several months now due to the pandemic (and I don't foresee going back any time soon). I was told to shave in between sittings but the hair is now thicker than before and grows back the next day. If I were to start waxing again so I had more time before the hair grows back, would that undo all the laser progress?

Amy Y. Paul, DO, FAAD says:

Thanks for your question.  You might not get a very full chest of hair back, but you might continue to expect some regrowth over time.  Some of what to expect also depends on the type of laser used to remove the hair.  If it was a series of broad beamed light, or IPL, you might have more reg...
