Will laser treatments help unwanted facial hair from using Minoxidil after two months 3%

Hi Genuine448515

The effects of laser hair removal are permanent. Once the laser has destroyed the follicle it will not grow back. However, hormonal changes can cause new hairs to grow. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Hi, Thank you for your question. The answer is if you are looking for complete removal of all hair, you are setting your expectations too high. Many have suggested that rather than saying "laser hair removal" the phrase "laser hair reduction" would be both more appropriate and more accurate. Oral minoxidil can be associated with a systemic effect, but if you are applying to the scalp for hair loss, the systemic levels should be below the threshold to induce systemic hypertrichosis or generalized hair growth throughout the body.

Thanks for your question. Whether or not laser hair removal will help you depends on several factors. First, where is the hair growth and is the hair dark? Lasers don't treat light colored, fine hair. The hair has to be somewhat pigmented, or darker, in order for the laser beam to be effective. Also, what is your skin type? Very light skinned patients with dark hair do best with laser hair removal, and it is not always safe for people with richer skin pigment. You will want to know what type of laser your provider is using. Some lasers are better for thicker, darker hair, and some other devices, such as the IPL, are not really lasers at all, but more of a temporary way to help reduce hair. Please see an expert, and good luck!

So as long as the hair has pigmentation (brown or black), the treatment will work to remove the hair. However, the laser typically removes approximately 80/85% of most of the hair. Not usually at 100%.
Thank you! Sally
