More Hair After Laser Hair Removal?


In my relatively long electrolysis hair removal experience, I have treated a multitude of people of different ages and genders, and with different type of hair and skin color.
Recently, I have had a number of clients coming to me for electrolysis, claiming being dissatisfied with the results of laser hair removal treatments on their face, shoulders, back or chest. In all those cases, and in their opinion, after having numerous treatments, laser has increased the hair growth instead of removing or reducing hair permanently. They also claim that hair became darker and thicker.
Their case histories show that these clients have light skin, excess hair growth on the face and neck and imbalance of hormones. Also, some have poly-cystic ovarian syndromes, adrenal disorders and other conditions that cause the excessive growth of hair. Although their hair was visible before, it was not as excessive, thick and dark as when they finished with their laser hair removal treatments.
Being both a certified clinical - medical electrologist and a laser technician and having worked in the electrolysis field since 1997, I tend to recommend my clients (especially women) to have electrolysis and not to have laser hair removal treatments on the face, neck, back and shoulders.
Back to basic: laser vs electrolysis
Hair grows out of the dermis. The indentation of the skin in which the hair shaft grows is called a follicle. The only living portion of the hair is found in the follicle. This is the base of the root, which is called the bulb, and which contains the cells that produce the hair shaft. It is this hair bulb in the follicle that both laser and electrolysis are targeting when aiming to eliminating the hair growth.
Given that the follicle can produce two types of hair: vellus  脱毛サロン　吉祥寺 hair, which are pale, fine, and fluffy; and terminal hair, which are darker, coarser and thicker, could it be possible that the applied (laser) radiation, in some cases, stimulates hair follicles that produces the fine hair into producing terminal hair?
It is important to point out that laser cannot treat individual follicles. When applied, it treats not only the unwanted hair, but the laser beam goes also over a far greater skin area that surrounds the unwanted hair, where there is no visible or a very fine hair.
No matter what type of laser machine for hair removal is being used - diode, alexandrite or long pulsed Nd:Yg - the principal behind the LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) hair removal is the same.

Today, a male body builder is not the only person into removing hair from all over their body. Aside from the fact that there are more and more female body builders, there are scores of everyday males and females who remove hair from all over their bodies. Both in the media and on the street, an obvious example is how many males and females are into head shaving. At the pool or the beach, and even on neighborhood basketball courts, it's much more common to see males with smooth and hairless chests and backs. And even a few without armpit or leg hair. And if you think about it, males in the media advertising underwear and fitness equipment don't have any body hair.
