Does taking magnesium supplements or zinc cause body hair regrowth for someone doing laser hair removal sessions?

March 12, 2021
Asked By:Jay90201 in Orland Park, IL

I know biotin messes up laser hair removal progress on the body, but how about taking omega supplements or magnesium and zinc for example? Do they cause the hair on the body to regrow while someone is doing a monthly full body laser hair removal at a clinic?
