Hair can still grow after 4 laser sessions due to various factors such as hair color, thickness, and the growth cycle of individual hairs. Not all hairs are in the same growth phase at the time of treatment, making some resistant to laser. It typically takes 6 to 8 sessions for significant hair reduction. Consistency is key, and adjusting the laser settings might be necessary. Consult with your specialist for a tailored plan that addresses your progress and expectations.
