It contains a single-speaker monologue explaining that laser hair removal reduces hair follicle density and yields long-lasting thinning (from a "bush" to a "twig"), but is not always completely permanent — some regrowth or stray hairs can appear over time.

Chapters

When were people going to tell me that laser hair removal is not permanent? I just watched this dermatologist board certified derm here. She's not fully wrong, but she's not fully right either. And I think the freak out is unwarranted. I'm not saying this because I have laser hair removal at my office, but I think any good doctor or provider is going to tell you what to expect. Laser hair removal decreases the number of hair follicles that you have. So the density of your hair goes from a bush to like a twig, Right. And you're going to have less hair overall. And this stays and stands the test of time. But over time, you might have some hair regrowth that appears, or a new stray hair that appears here or there, but it's never like the whole bush reappears where you once lasered it. So your efforts are not gone completely and to waste.
