I had 4 treatments done with the gentle yag and the last one with the alexandrite it s been 4 months since my last treatment and I had patchy hai growth on my forearms it is mentally affecting me. My question is will it even out? And if so when? Thank you

lasers are no tretments
sometime it burns tissue and can cause fibrosis leading to patch growth
i will advice you to go for chemical cautery with 5 % tca or 2 % AGNO3 WHICH IS QUIET SUCESS FUL IN MY EXPERIENCE OF MANY YEARS
