I have had 7 laser hair removal treatments, and my hair (which was initially very dark and thick) has reduced to a point where (while it is still growing back a bit), I am happy with it and don't feel the need to continue treatment and have the hair disappear entirely. However if I do not receive any further treatments or go for the recommended "top up" treatments, and just shave from here-on in, will my hair gradually rethicken and return to its original thick and dark state?

Answer: How important are touch ups after LHR? The hair will gradually grow over time. It won't get to the point that you were prior to treatments though. Results are variable according to patients and treatments. Some do fine without touch ups but most need them every 6-12 months.

Answer: Hair removal This is a good question. The answer is that the hair that was treated should not regrow. The reason for the follow up appointments is that it is not possible to treat every hair follicle. As time goes by the hairs that were not treated will grow.Hair can only respond to laser if it is in the active growing phase. As the hair thins out less hair is in the active growing phase so treatments are spread out to accommodate this. If you are happy with your results than no further treatments should be necessary.Hope this helps.
