6 months ago I did brazilian hair removal and for 2 months my pubic hair did not grow. Then it grew back normally. Now 6 months later my pubic hair is very patchy. Does it have to do with my laser hair removal treatment? Ps I also did my underarms but I have no patches.
Answer: Patchy Pubic hair The reason for the patchiness must be because of the laser hair removal treatment you had. The hair grows in cycles, during each treatment only a fraction of the hair is actively growing. Those are the ones that are targeted by the laser. To completely remove all of the hairs you would need at least 6 treatments. Why you have no patchiness to your underarms may be because of the way your hair grows or how thoroughly you were treated. I hope that helps!

Answer: Patchy Hair after Laser Hair Removal Thank you for your question. Laser hair removal uses and intense, pulsating beam of light to remove unwanted hair. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth. Yes, this normal after one session of laser hair removal because the laser targets hair in its active growth phase. Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair. Laser hair removal is considered more permanent reduction than permanent removal. It takes 6-9 sessions to see 70%-90% reduction in hair growth.

Answer: Patchy pubic hair One should not expect complete resolution after just one treatment. Hair follicles have many stages of growth sleep and rest. Only the active phase of growth is vulnerable to laser rxs. That's why I recommend at least 6 treatments spaced out every 6 weeks to have a significant impact on appearance. No treatment will remove 100% of the hair, but patience will be rewarded.
