so far i have had only TWO laser sessions. but im not too sure if they are making any difference. The laser woman says for me to shave and then go to see her to do the laser. but after about 3 days the hair grows back as normal and i have to keep shaving as if i never had a laser session. Is this normal ?

Answer: Laser hair removal Laser hair removal targets the pigment in the root of actively growing hair. Following a treatment, is unusual to see any new growth before 2 weeks. This is because there is always some hair that is not actively growing, but is dormant at the time of treatment and so is not affected by the laser. Hair can remain dormant for some time, but usually within 2-4 weeks, at least some of the dormant hair transitions to active growth and can be treated with the laser. That is why laser hair removal requires a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Talk to your provider about the hair growth you are seeing to be sure the laser settings are appropriate for your skin and hair type.

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Effectiveness All of this is typical except that hair should not go away and return three days later. Following a laser hair removal treatment, hair should appear to still be growing for 1-3 weeks, after which time you should notice the hair begin to shed. Once hair has shed, it typically takes 1-2 months for regrowth, which is when you are ready to be treated again. If you have not noticed any shedding in this process, you probably are not being properly treated. If this is the case and you are going to a reputable facility for the treatment, I would discuss your concerns with the provider and settings can probably be adjusted accordingly.
