Laser hair removal regret

Laser hair removal regret

I have done one laser hair removal session on my beard (beard shaping), it looks unnatural and I regret it. After one month the regrowth is sparse and hair is thin, I am hoping that my beard will grow as thick and dense (at least 50-90%) as before the treatment.

One session of laser hair removal isn't sufficient to eliminate hair growth permanently. You have to perform follow up five weeks later to capture the new hair cycle during correct point of regrowth.
After one session, if you don't follow up with more lasering, you will probably go back to original hair growth level within a few months.
Are you sure because almost 90 % of my hair is gone and it looks unnatural, I did it to reduce shaving but ended shaving daily
It may thin your hair by 10%, but I wouldn't expect much permanent hair reduction after just one session. Before I understood how laser works, I did the same thing and got one session for my legs. It did almost nothing, though for a few months it appeared to have eliminated/thinned some of the follicles. It came back the same way it was before after around 4-5 months. That said, you may be less hairy than me or have different genetics. The way that laser works is by killing the baby hair follicles during the regrowth cycle. One session doesn't accomplish much of this, because it's only catching a few hairs during that cycle.
I hope this is the case because I really regret it, it's been 2 months now and there are few hairs here and there. How long do you think it will take approximately?
Are you a hairy person? If so, I would estimate substantial hair regrowth by four months time.
I'll update at 4 months, hopefully it regrows and blends with my beard
Has your beard returned ad before?
One session and you already made a conclusion lol ! Let us know when you 9 man !
