I had a single session done on my chest months ago. The remaining hair is now much thinner and lighter and some spots look almost bare. I changed my mind and don’t want to pursue the treatments. Will my hair eventually grow back as it was before? If so, how long can it take? If not, I could have a single session on my pubic area so that it matches better with my body, is that a good idea? Thank you!

I am so sorry this happened to you. May i ask what is your nationality. By the looks of your picture it looks like you may be a skin type 5 not a 3. This means you would have needed laser hair removal with a yag beam instead of an alex beam. If too short a beam is used, you can end up with...
Undergoing laser hair removal while taking Azithromycin is not recommended. Azithromycin can be photo-sensitizing. This medication should be discontinued a month before your treatment.
The hair targeted on your sessions will not grow back but you can wait a few months to allow the other cycles of hair to resurface. Some hair may still grow back, but certainly other hair may not.
