Hi dereektheleer,
What you’re describing—patchy results after multiple laser sessions—is something many people go through, and it’s usually not a sign that the treatment isn’t working, but rather a reflection of how laser interacts with hair growth cycles and post-treatment behavior.
Laser hair removal targets follicles in the anagen (active) phase, which means different areas might respond at different rates simply due to the natural growth cycle of the hair. It’s also common to see more reduction in certain zones where hair is denser or darker, while lighter or finer hairs might take longer to respond—even under identical treatment conditions.
Another factor that often influences results is how the skin and treated areas are managed between sessions. For example, exfoliation timing, sun exposure, and even how shedding is handled after each session can all subtly affect outcomes. If the skin isn’t exfoliated at the right time or if pores stay blocked post-session, hair that should have shed may appear as if it wasn’t treated.
Some of these nuances are discussed in resources like epilation world, where aftercare practices and result variations are explained without oversimplifying the process. While technique and device settings do matter, client aftercare plays a bigger role than many expect.
You’re definitely not alone in experiencing uneven progress. With continued sessions, proper spacing, and attention to maintenance, most users see these patches fill in and even out. Patience and consistency are key.
