Regret Laser Hair Removal After 3 Sessions?

Question

After 3 brazilian Laser hair removal (LHR) treatment I decided that I wanted to keep some hair. Only "after" the LHR sessions did I panicked and have been feeling very uncomfortable since then with my choice to have a brazilian. I have completely stopped the LHR treatments and I want to know if the hair will come back or if there is anything I can do to get it closer to "normal"?

To see full correction from laser hair removal you would need a series of 6-8 treatments total. It may take some time but eventually thin/patchy hair  will reappear

Not to worry, without completing your full sessions the hair will eventually grow back but might be thinner then before

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

Any follicles that have been destroyed with laser hair removal are not capable of regrowing hair under any circumstances. So, those hairs will not be able to grow hair ever again. You will still have any hairs that weren't affected or in the right stage for the laser to target them. Additionally, the body does get new follicles over time, so you can get sparse growth in areas from that as well. At only 3 sessions you should have had good, but moderate results only, so you should still have plenty of hair in those areas.
