Will Eyebrows Grow Back After One Laser Session?

Rosa183Sep 5, 2012
I had one laser session done to clean up my eyebrow ,the doctor by mistake removed a big part from the end line of my eyebrow ! They are too short now , I kinda regret it as I dont like the cleaned up eyebrow :( . I don't know the type of laser , it is the one that bleaches the hair and the doctor said that they will fall later . But I noticed that the dark hair are falling out too !! I am so worried . Will they grow back ? Are they going to look the same ? I have fair- white skin and dark hair .

I do not think that the laser should affect hair growing 2 inches above the treated area.  You may begin to have signs of male pattern baldness.  I don't know your age and I didn't see any photos but if it is from the laser, it should re-grow after only one treatment.

Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment in the hair and has nothing to do with blood flow.  Topical anesthesia does not negatively impact the treatment at all.  Be sure you are seeing an MD if you are not getting the results you anticipate.
