I've received two laser hair removal treatments on my bikini area, and after the first, hair regrowth was practically nonexistent. After my second treatment approximately 6 weeks later, hair has regrown over the full area, but is very fine. The hair prior to my first laser treatment was very thick, and I'm certain there was no fine hair at all... What's going on here? Will the laser treatment continue to work now that the hair is thinner and lighter?
