Can I treat Hypertrichosis with a laser?
i get pretty bad hypertrichosis from minoxidil , I am planning to do laser hair removal . But this costs a lot and i will keep taking the minoxidil / oral minox. So will the unwanted body hiar come back after laser removal if i keep taking minox?
Laser hair removal is not a single session treatment as hair have to be caught in their anagen cycle. Body hair often has very short anagen cycles so the kill rate for hair is 50% at best at any one time, then 50% of what is left on the second session and then 50% of what is left on the third session so by the end of the third session, do the math, 12.5% of the hair will still remain even if the laser hair removal is 100% effective for each treatment which rarely happens.
Stopping the minoxidil should stop the hypertrichosis. much easier than the laser
