Is there any way to reverse the effects of laser hair removal?

Question

About 6 years ago I had approximately 10 hair removal sessions done in the pubic region which I regret. I still grow hair in the region but the hair that is there is fine and patchy.

Russell S. Gornichec, MD · Answer

Regretfully hair removal with light energy causes permanent damage to underlying follicles and they will not grow again. It sounds like you have some residual follicles that were not damaged. white or grey hair which contains no pigment will be resistant to laser hair removal and should be addressed with electrolysis if you desire their removal. If they are pigmented then you may need different settings to address these finer hair follicles, but they should respond to repeat treatments.Thank you for your question.
