It all depends how far you got into your Laser Hair Removal Journey.
Should you have gone far - Close to the end of your Laser Journey, the hair growth won't be the same as what it was before.
Should you have just started - Unfortunately the hair will grow back as there was not enough time to continue your Laser Journey.
Should you have stretched out sessions in between your Laser Journey (which is not ideal) - That may affect the Laser not to be so effective even if you had done a lot of sessions then the hair can grow back most definitely.
Hormonal Imbalances can still occur during pregnancy hence it is unpredictable as to how your individual hormonal body chemistry may react to hair regrowth.
Every Individuals Hormonal Body Chemistry is different:
You can not compare a sibling to another siblings progress.
Each and every individuals progress with Laser Hair Removal is quite unpredictable to predict in advance of how many sessions they may need.
Only time and patience will tell as to how Laser Hair Removal will react to ones body chemistry.

Yes! However the Laser won't be able to pick up the white, blonde and grey hair. Very fine hair may take longer. Coarse and Dark hair has a quicker response rate.
Hair on the scalp grows about .3 to .4 mm/day. Unlike other mammals, human hair growth and shedding is random and not seasonal or repeated.
At any given time, a random number of hairs will be in one of three stages of growth and shedding: anagen, catagen, and telogen.
AnagenAnagen is the active phase of the hair. The cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly. A new hair is formed and pushes the club hair (a hair that has stopped growing or is no longer in the anagen phase) up the follicle and eventually out.
During this phase the hair grows about 1 cm every 28 days. Scalp hair stays in this active phase of growth for two to six years.
Some people have difficulty growing their hair beyond a certain length because they have a short active phase of growth. On the other hand, people with very long hair have a long active phase of growth. The hair on the arms, legs, eyelashes, and eyebrows have a very short active growth phase of about 30 to 45 days, explaining why they are so much shorter than scalp hair.
CatagenThe catagen phase is a transitional stage and about 3% of all hairs are in this phase at any time. This phase lasts for about two to three weeks. Growth stops and the outer root sheath shrinks and attaches to the root of the hair. This is the formation of what is known as a club hair.
TelogenTelogen is the resting phase and usually accounts for 6% to 8% of all hairs. This phase lasts for about 100 days for hairs on the scalp and longer for hairs on the eyebrows, eyelash's, arms, and legs. During this phase, the hair follicle is completely at rest and the club hair is completely formed. Pulling out a hair in this phase will reveal a solid, hard, dry, white material at the root. About 25 to 100 telogen hairs are shed normally each day.
This is the only phase where laser hair removal is effective. Only 20% of hair is actively growing during one Anagen growth phase, hence why multiple treatments are necessary for laser hair removal to be effective for long-term results.
Each follicle is independent and goes through the growth cycle at different times so you don’t lose patches of hair all at once and only shed 50-100 hairs each day.
No! There will be a waiting period of 6 months after the completion of your Accutane treatment and a written consent from your family doctor in order to proceed with the procedure.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) examines, tests and approves a wide range of items for medical use, including drugs and medical appliances.

Laser is most effective and helpful to remove ingrown hairs or even shaving bumps, strawberry legs they like to call it (should your skin come out with a rash after shaving).
What the Laser does is, it destroys hair follicles at the root of the hair itself and doesn't get a chance to form an ingrown hair again however it can take time.
However within time the hairs become thinner and lighter; slowly but surely stopping it from happening again.
It is important to note that laser is not an overnight solution to this condition but within time it can reduce ingrown hairs and prevent them from forming. Consistency and Patience is key.
Every individual is one of a kind; therefore it may vary between 8-10 sessions or even longer. Statistics wise this is an average according to the beauty industry standards. This doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed clearance, you might need more than 10 sessions if need be.Here is a rough guideline to certain parts of the body:
Face/Neck: 3-4 weeks; 6 to 10+ sessions
Brazilian/Hollywood/Buttocks: 3-4 weeks; 6 to 10+ sessions
Chest/Tummy/Back: 4-6 weeks; 6 to 10+ sessions
Arms/Hands/Legs/Feet : 4-6 weeks; 6 to 10+ sessions
Changes in medication that cause hormone imbalances, or missed scheduled appointments can cause new hair growth.
For women and men, the face may take longer due to hormonal changes as previously mentioned.
Hormonal drugs can affect hormone secretion, endocrine system disorders, it will affect hair growth, melanin activity will be affected by hormones. Successful treatments may take longer.
It is advised that hormonal condition(s) has been addressed with your doctor and that you are receiving prescribed hormonal medical treatment, if not it can influence the treatment to take even longer to see progress. Hence that is why it may vary between 8-10 sessions or even longer. It applies to the men as well, high testosterone levels can affect it to be a longer process.
It takes approximately between 2-3 weeks to see the hair shed by itself after one treatment. This is where you don’t get involved in the process, allow the hair to naturally fall out on its own.
