Lesson 5: Understanding Shedding

Laser hair removal does not remove hair immediately. It targets the follicle.

After treatment:

  • Some hair may release right away
  • Most hair sheds over 1 to 3 weeks

This varies by area, hair type, depth of the follicle, and hormonal influence.

Clients often think the hair is growing back. What they are actually seeing is the body pushing the
treated hair out.
