Will my pubic hair grow back after 2 LHR treatments? It's been 8 weeks since my treatment.

Question

I got LHR for my bikini and the women doing it misunderstood what I wanted and did the top part of my vagina i was too scared to say anything but only let it happen once and stopped her as she tried to do it a second time. It has been 8 weeks since the second time and my vagina hair is patchy with no sign of progress for the hair to grow back in those parts of my vagina. Will it ever grow back?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest waiting 3 months to determine if the hair will grow back, if it is patchy it likely will stay that way.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Before your next treatment you should address which areas you do want treated. The provider and patient should be on the same page about the treatment plan.  Your hair will reduce with each treatment. If you let the areas grow it should grow back since there were only two treatments.

Hardik Soni, MD · Answer

If you only had 2 treatments most of the hair should grow back but it may be patchy or thinner. On average laser hair removal destroys about 15 percent of the follicles. With even greater time, more regrow th may occur. There is not much you can do now except wait and make sure that area is not treated in the future. Sometime it can help to draw boundaries with a white eyeliner so the provider knows exactly which areas to treat. All the bestDr Soni

It usually takes a few treatments for hair to be permanently reduced by laser.  I think you will be alright.  If you are not able to convey your wants and desires however with the person doing your laser, that is a problem.  I think it is very important to address your wants before treatment in a good consultation.  We spend a lot of time consulting with patients and knowing the patient expectations before any treatment.   Stay skintastic.  #laser
