Why do you have more hair after laser?

Why do you have more hair after laser? While laser hair removal is extremely effective in reducing hair growth, some patient may experience a temporary increase in hair after the treatment. This can be a frustrating and confusing experience, but there are several reasons why this can occur. Let me explain below.

Why do you have more hair after laser?

One reason for an increase in growth after laser hair removal is that the hair may have been in the dormant phase at the time of treatment.  What does it mean for your treatment?

Hair goes through several stages of growth, including;

  • anagen (active growth)
  • catagen (transition)
  • telogen (resting) phases

The treatment is most effective during the anagen phase when the hair is actively growing, but some hairs may be in the resting phase and not affected by the laser.

Another reason for an increase in growth after treatment is that the laser may have only temporarily reduced hair growth. Some hair follicles may regenerate and start growing hair again after the treatment. This is why multiple treatments are usually necessary to achieve permanent hair reduction.

Hormones may impact the results of your hair removal treatment

Hormonal changes can also affect hair growth and cause an increase after treatment. Hormonal imbalances, such as those experienced during pregnancy or menopause, can stimulate hair growth and undo the effects of laser hair removal.

If you have concerns about an increase in hair after laser, please contact our laser experts today, who can evaluate your treatment and recommend a personalised treatment plan for you.
