Hair may not shed immediately after laser treatment because it can take up to two weeks for the treated hairs to fall out. This delay is normal and part of the hair growth cycle. Be patient, and avoid waxing or plucking, which can interfere with the shedding process. Exfoliate gently to help speed up this process. If shedding is still minimal after a few weeks, consult your provider to ensure the laser settings are appropriate for your hair type.
