Hair growth occurs in cycles and has three distinct phases: telogen, anagen, and catagen. The telogen phase involves shedding fully-grown hair, the anagen phase is when hair is actively growing, and the catagen phase is the resting phase when hair detaches from the papilla and blood flow.
Because this growth occurs in cycles, only a percentage of hair is in the targeted anagen phase at one time, which is why multiple treatments are necessary to achieve desired results. Upon re-opening, you are probably going to see patients return with more hair growth than if they maintained their regular treatment schedule. While some patients may require an additional treatment or two, this won't be the case for everyone.
Many patients will continue to see fantastic reduction throughout their process, despite the pause in their treatment. That said, there are a few combinations we need to consider. If a patient has exceptionally dense hair and is at an early stage of treatment, they may require an additional session because beginning treatment settings tend to be a little more conservative. Patients who are further along in their process may have likely seen a significant reduction in their hair density.
In this case, you can continue to advance the protocols and use more aggressive energy, pulse formatting, or both. Laser hair removal played a mean joke on me. Every six weeks, I dutifully visited my aesthetician, who spread cold gel on my skin and flashed it with a laser.
I kept going back until I'd completed five sessions. And I was elated when my underarms stopped growing 5 o'clock shadows. The hair was fine and minimal; it barely grew back—until it wasn't, and it did. A few months later, it was as if I hadn't spent six months of time and money on a hair-removal plan. Hell-bent on smooth underarms, I'm starting the whole process over again, now with the help of New York City dermatologist Paul Jarrod Frank.
But this time, no mistakes. One of the reasons we LOVE laser hair removal, is that it not only reduces hair permanently over time, but hair that does grow in treated areas is usually fairer, finer and less noticeable. Lockdown has made us all take a break from laser hair removal, but there may be other times in life when you need to pause sessions — if you get pregnant for instance.
But the good news is that you can re-start sessions after your baby is born and carry on the great work. Obviously, pregnancy makes lots of different hormones flood around your body, so you may notice hair growing in new places or changing texture. Also, if you stop laser hair removal and then start taking supplements or birth control pills, or follow a diet that alters the levels of hormones in your body, you might find that hair grows longer or thicker.
