Can I grow back hair after laser hair removal?

Question

I have done laser on my hairline and regret it terribly ! It's been five years and it still didn't grow as much as I'd like. How can I have my hair back there ?? Is it still possible to do something to grow back hair there ???

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Laser hair removal can often be permanent. There are few ways to restore the permanent hair loss aside from FUE and hair transplantation. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Brian S. Biesman, MD · Answer

I am sorry that you regret your decision to be treated.  Unfortunately laser hair removal is not easily reversed.  If the hair follicles are functional it is possible that Latisse may produce some hair growth.  This is an off label application of Latisse and may or may not be effective.  Best of luck.

Suzanne Kilmer, MD · Answer

It can be very difficult to get
hair to grow back because laser hair removal really is so effective. Talk with
your dermatologist and see about trying Latisse – a topical solution that helps
eyelashes grow but I have used it in many areas to regrow hair – especially the
eyebrows where they can be very thin after years of tweezing.
