Had my first laser hair removal on back of neck today, went too high on hairline. How can I regrow hair there?

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Your hair should re-grow within the next few weeks. For permanent hair removal, most patients need a series of 6-8 session total.

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  One treatment in the wrong place is unlikely to lead to permanent hair removal in that area.  Remember. It is laser hair reduction, not permanent removal.Make sure you tell your provide to mark the border of the area you want treated or do not want treated with a white eyeliner pen.  Tell him or her not to cross the mark. A white eyeliner pen reflects light so the laser won't burn you.  If you mark the area with a purple or black marker, you will get surface burns which can lead to skin pigmentation changes.I hope this helps.
