Do I have to let my hair grow out before laser hair removal?
NO! In the early days of laser hair removal, many doctors would require patients to let the hair grown out so they could see where it is. We have much better ways of seeing into the skin and can identify dark hair without the need to grow it out. In fact, we need the hair to be shaved prior to laser hair removal so that it doesn’t irritate the top of the skin during laser treatment.
