Is laser hair removal in the groin permanent?

Expert answer:

No, laser hair removal at the groin, armpit or any other location, is not definitive. The hair that is hit in full growth does not grow back. However, those who are in other phases are born again after some time.

For that the laser hair removal is not definitive, since it is practically impossible to eliminate all the hair permanently. However, the treatment is capable of block the growth of up to 90% of hairs. This is called permanent hair reduction.

However, to be sure that one hair has been permanently removed one must wait 4 to 12 months after the last hair removal. It is also important to do one or two maintenance sessions per year to eliminate the hairs that can still grow back.

After several sessions of laser hair removal and maintenance, it is possible to permanently eliminate most of the hair and approach a definitive epilation. The number of sessions required to achieve permanent hair reduction depends on the amount and type of hair and the equipment used.

Laser hair removal should be performed by a duly qualified professional, preferably a dermatologist.
