Still Seeing Hair After Laser? You’re Not Alone

Why Is There Still Hair After Laser Hair Removal?

You finally took the plunge and got your laser hair removal session. But then, a few days later, you’re staring at the mirror, wondering, “Wait… why is there still hair?”

Deep breath. No panic needed. Let’s break it down now because if you’re investing in smooth, hair-free skin, you deserve to know what’s the deal.

The Hair Situation: What’s Normal & What’s Not?

Here’s the thing—laser hair removal is a process, not a magic wand. (Although the smoothness after the session feels magical) After your session, some hair might still be hanging around. That doesn’t mean the laser isn’t working—it means your hair is just going through a phase. Literally.

Your hair grows in three stages (fancy terms: anagen, catagen, and telogen). The laser only zaps hair that’s actively growing (anagen phase), which means the others are just chilling and waiting for their turn to be targeted in the next session.

So if you still see hair after laser, it’s completely normal—and it’s actually part of the process.

But Why Does It Look Like Hair Is Growing?

Ever heard of “shedding”? It’s when your treated hair falls out over the next few weeks, but before that, it might look like it’s still growing. (Spoiler: it’s not.) You might even see some “pepper spots”—tiny dark dots where the hair is stuck before it fully falls out.

Solution? A little exfoliation helps! A gentle scrub or a loofah can speed up the shedding and leave your skin looking smoother.

When Will I Start Seeing Real Results?

Here’s the part you’ll love—after a few sessions, you’ll notice way less hair growth, finer texture, and slower regrowth. But patience is key. Most people need 6 to 8 sessions (spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart) to achieve the silky, hair-free skin they signed up for.

Each session knocks out more and more hair until your skin “reaches new heights of smoothness”. Now see if you’ve seen our last winter campaign you’d think I was really witty for writing the last quoted sentence because it’s our latest campaign’s slogan. In case you haven’t seen it, I just thought y’all can read it here.

So… Should You Keep Going?

100%. If you want to say a final goodbye to shaving, waxing, and annoying stubble, staying consistent with your laser hair removal sessions is the way to go. Every appointment brings you closer to hair-free confidence, and honestly, who wouldn’t want that?

So, if you’re still wondering “Is hair still there after laser?”, the answer is: for now, maybe—but not for long!
