What Happens to Facial Hair After Laser Resurfacing?

June 2, 2009
Asked By:aab1042 in Boston, MA

I'm having Laser resurfacing performed on my entire face with a Carbon dioxide laser. I'm curious what will happen to the hair on my face, I don't have significant amount of hair but just fuzzy cheeks etc. I know it's not laser hair removal so should I expect the hair just to grow back?
