Hello,One treatment of laser hair removal is not going to permanently get rid of your hair. It may grow in slower or patchy at first, but eventually it will continue to grow in and become normal (assuming you do not move forward with anymore treatments). I wouldn't worry.

Thanks for reaching out!I do not recommend having hair removal treatment only 3 weeks apart.  You want the hair to be in the correct hair cycle for optimal results.  Best,

Every so often, we do see a rash following laser hair removal. This is usually because of irritation of the hair follicles in the treated area, and this can be easily treated with a mild cortisone preparation. I suggest contacting your Dr. for a topical solution. Best, Dr. Emer

No lasers cannot attract hairs without pigmentation.  you can do electrolysis or vaniqa cream or both to help.  Best, Dr. Emer.
