After 14 laser sessions, reduced hair thickness is a sign of partial success, but regrowth on cheeks suggests you may need maintenance sessions or evaluation of hormonal causes. Shaving or waxing won’t make hair grow thicker or faster, but waxing may irritate sensitive skin. Consult a dermatologist to assess if you need hormonal tests (like PCOS screening) or switch to a different laser type or energy setting.

Laser hair removal can be less effective for some people, and its efficacy can vary depending on factors like hair color, thickness, skin type, and even hormonal influences, which might explain why your facial hair hasn’t reduced to your expectations. Given that you’ve experienced a change in thickness, it suggests there’s been some impact, but not to the extent hoped for. Factors influencing efficacy could involve hair density, the particular laser technology used, or even the technique applied during your treatments. A few things you might consider: First, you could consult with your dermatologist or the professional who did your laser treatments to discuss these specific outcomes and see if adjustments in the treatment plan would help. They might recommend a different laser type more suited to your hair type or even assess for any hormonal imbalances if not already considered. If hormones are a concern, an endocrinologist could help assess any underlying issues. Regarding shaving or waxing, shaving doesn’t change the hair follicle but cuts the hair close to skin level, giving it a blunter tip, which can sometimes feel coarser as it grows out, but it doesn’t affect the root. Waxing, on the other hand, removes hair from the follicle, and with repeated sessions, might make hair thinner or patchy over time. If you opt for shaving, there should be no impact on increasing hair growth. Shaving could actually be a more straightforward option to manage unwanted facial hair between treatments without altering the efficacy of future laser sessions.
