Why Does Hair Grow Back After Hair Removal?

Many people remove hair but still do not achieve permanent results. So what factors can cause hair to grow back? Let’s explore the reasons with VATICO.

Because of the body’s natural self-repair mechanism

Our bodies all have the ability to recover. For example, if you burn your skin, pluck hair, or exfoliate, your body will still repair the affected area. And when you remove hair, of course, the hair root beneath the skin may still remain. That is the new hair follicle. Therefore, some regrowth is completely normal. However, there is no need to worry. If you choose the right hair removal method, regrowth can be reduced, but that does not mean hair is removed permanently right away. With traditional methods such as shaving or waxing, consistent treatment over 5 or even 10 years may be needed before long-term reduction is seen. Today’s advanced technology can help you achieve near-complete hair reduction over a treatment course of around 3 to 5 years. That is what IPL technology can help with.

Because hair removal is done with the wrong technique

The second reason hair grows back is incorrect hair removal technique. Proper hair removal is extremely important. Wrong technique may come from setting the energy level incorrectly or from not preparing properly before treatment. It is similar to working out: at the right intensity, your muscles develop, but if you overdo it, they can gradually become weaker. This is one of the most common issues people encounter.

Because the hair growth cycle is not fully understood

Hair grows in cycles, with three distinct and consecutive stages. Hair removal using IPL technology or any other method is only effective when hair is in a specific stage. That is the Anagen phase – the growth stage. Only then can the hair root be targeted more effectively so that hair is less likely to grow back.
