Laser hair removal requires several treatments to work.

Although expensive, that would be a permanent solution.

Avatar m tn Hello, Laser hair removal is for permanent removal of hair.It needs multiple sessions. Laser hair reduction works by targeting the hair follicle through the melanin in the hair. Melanin absorbs laser energy and transfers it down to the hair follicles, rendering them ineffective, thus stopping future hair growth. It is effective for all skin types and the most commonly noticed side effects are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to sunburn.

After another aprx. 2 months her hair stated to return, it's coming in nicely, but aprx. 1 month after that, facial hair started growing. Very fine soft hair and not nearly as thick as the hair on her head. Will this stop coming in, should she shave, we don't know what to do with it. After 2 weeks of growth, it is long enough to see.
