Question: Is it true that laser hair removal can cause more hair growth than what I started with?
Answer: Absolutely not. Laser hair removal cannot cause more hair growth than what you started with, and that is essentially false information. Laser hair removal can certainly give people the illusion that they have darker or thicker hair growth, mainly due to the fact that we shave the area before treatment and then, if they regrow a hair that now has a blunt end to it due to the shaving process, they can think the hair looks thicker but, in reality, it is not and it will resume a normal shape and size within a matter of weeks to months. For the most part, laser hair removal is extremely efficacious, and the patient should see greatly reduced number of hairs and thickness of the hairs as they progress through the series of treatments.
