Why is my hair still growing back after laser? Laser hair removal targets hair follicles in their growth phase, but not all follicles are active at the same time. Multiple sessions are often needed to catch all the hairs as they become active. Additionally, hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), might influence hair growth. It's essential to follow the treatment plan and discuss any concerns with your provider for optimal results.
