Hair will not return as it was prior to receiving laser hair removal treatments. The hair follicles damaged in the anagen phase during the treatments will not return. Typically, only receiving two sessions will not cause bald patches to appear, but the hair can return thinner and not as thick. Hair growth or new follicles are formed with hormone fluctuations and with time. In theory, hair could return to the area for laser hair removal is to reduce hair growth.

The hair targeted on your sessions will not grow back but you can wait a few months to allow the other cycles of hair to resurface. Some hair may still grow back, but certainly other hair may not.
