Is Laser Treatment Best For Hair Removal On Eyebrows?
Question: Hi. Can laser hair removal treatment be done for eyebrows? And want to know that if I get laser done now, then after conceiving and delivery will my hair grow back?
Brief Answer:
Better to avoid lasers
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
LASERS can be used to remove hair from eyebrows, however it is not a permanent method.
Hair regrows after sometime.
There is no relation between pregnancy and eyebrow hair.
Pregnancy only affects scalp hair growth.
I won't suggest you to go for laser hair reduction as it may lead to hyper pigmentation.
You can try other modalities like threading or eflornithine cream.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
Eflornithine blocks the enzyme involved in new hair synthesis.

if you use it regularly for 6 months there will be significant reduction in hair growth.
LASERS are very commonly used these days for various cosmetic procedures, however there is always a risk of hyper pigmentation.
It is better to avoid LASERS as much as possible.
