Is it normal for hair to return after laser hair removal?

Question

I have always had dark black, coarse hair that grew a day after waxing or threading. Two years ago I had 8 laser sessions on half my face and neck. The hair still grows back (I shave twice a week), however it is not coarse or as dark. Is it normal for hair to regrow after laser? Could it be due to hormones? Should I get top up laser sessions, if so how many?

Laser Hair Removal is a process that reduces hair growth by shrinking the size of the follicles until they produce thinner, lighter finer hair or no hair at all.  The face is one of the most difficult areas to get reduction and, based on my experience over the past 21 years, I would say that the face always requires maintenance treatments.  Hormones can influence growth but the treatment is more sessions of hair removal.
