I recently had my second session of laser hair removal on my eyebrows. Except this time I got the lady to widen the gap a little bit. After I got home I realised that the gap between my eyebrows was to big and that I didnt want the gap to be that big. Can someone please advice if the hair will grow back in the middle or will the gap that has been done be permanent. It was only my second session so I am hoping it will not be a permanent gap.
Your advice will be much appreciated
Amen. Don’t do laser reduction on your eyebrows. 'kay?
Nobody knows if the hair will grow back. I hope real hard right along with you that it will. Electrolysis is the domain of eyebrows. It works fantastically well because of it’s preciseness abilities. It is not dangerous to the color part of the eye and it can get all the tiny, but too long BLOND hairs that are present, as long as the electrologist can see those hairs to begin with.
okay but if you are saying laser kills 10-15% of hair that means it will grow back right? Cause it wouldn’t have killed the dormant hairs. Does anyone know what percentage of hairs on the eyebrows is dormant at any given time??? Please help…
Or will my eyebrows just llok like this for this part of the year every year???
I didn’t say that laser kills 10-15% of the hair because I don’t know that to be true and I am not a laser specialist. The percentage of eyebrow hairs in the resting stage is 90%. The percentage of hairs in the growing phase is 10%. Duration of the rest cycle is 12 weeks. Duration of activity of the growth cycle is 4-8 weeks.

Hi Dfahey,
I was not qouting yourself when I wrote:
Generally, each treatment of laser will remove 10-15% of the hair in the area.
I was just qouting what Ihatebodyhair wrote. 
But what I can gather from what has been written on here is that my eyebrows will grow back because this one treatment of laser only killed the active (growing hair) which is about 10%. But if there was 90% of hair which was dormant and laser hair removal doesnt kill dormant hair then the hair will grow back, right?
If what I am understanding from what has been written is correct is that for 4-12 weeks of the year I will have a bigger gap in my eyebrows due to me getting to much done during laser in the month of november??? So next year in the month of november I can expect a big gap???
Is what I have wrote correct. If it is not please correct me as I am having trouble getting my head around what hair is killed when and when the hair grows back???
Each laser session will remove around 10% of the hair, however even on larger areas you don’t really get any visible results until at least the 3rd treatment or so. Meaning if you’re done too large an area once or twice and stop now, you’ll never even notice a difference most likely, if anything it may be slightly thinner in that spot but shouldn’t be noticeable at all. If you keep doing sessions every 6-8 weeks for a year then in a year yes you’d have a big gap as you would have had many sessions over the year to kill all that hair.
The point is if you stop right now you’ll be fine and have no issues. You will experience 4-6 weeks or so of a big gap there though starting about 10-12 days after your last treatment, as that hair will fall out, and you’ll be hair free until the next cycle begins.
So having a big gap for 4-8 weeks right now is unavoidable. I’m not quite sure what your question means though talking about november. If you did the session lets say November 1st, the hair will fall out around November 10-12th. You’ll have a big gap there probably until mid to late December then it will be back and normal. If you keep doing sessions over and over, then by November of next year that gap would be permanent. The point is you can’t avoid the gap that’s coming any time now, but it won’t be permanent unless you for some strange reason keep doing laser on your eyebrows. You need to stop doing it there right away.
Also, theres no guarantee when it does grow back that it will be the same as before. Even waxing this area can cause hairs to grow back different. So i wouldnt be supprised if it grew back patchy or with the hairs growing in a different diection.
But i suspect as im assuming you are female, the hairs in this area were probably not suitable for laser anyway so they will not be affected long term anyway.
