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

May 17, 2018
Asked By:Ava Amelle in Bury

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?

Jeff Angobaldo, MD says:

Thank you for your question. Hormones create hair follicles and for the face your hormones are the strongest on the body.  Your hair grows in three different phases and it is required for you to have a laser hair removal treatment done every 4 weeks to catch the hair in the growth phase.   You...
