When Will Hair Fall Out After Alexandrite Laser?

Alexandrite laser epilation reduces hair loss by sending light energy to the roots of the hair. The laser beam damages the hair follicles, causing hair loss. However, this process can take time and may vary for each person.

Hair Loss Process:
✔ First 24-72 Hours: After laser application, hair is not expected to fall out immediately. There may be slight redness and warming on the skin in the first few days, but this is temporary.
✔ Between 7-15 Days: During this period, the hair begins to fall out slowly due to the effect of the laser. It may take approximately 1-2 weeks for the hair to fall out on its own.
✔ After 2-3 Weeks: Hair loss continues, while complete shedding occurs in some people, thinning of the hair is observed in others.

Factors Affecting the Hair Shedding Process:
✔ Hair Type and Color: Laser targets dark hair more effectively. Light-colored hair is less affected by the laser light.
✔ Skin Type: Laser hair removal is more effective on people with fair skin and dark hair.
✔ Application Area: The shedding process may be a little longer in areas with thin hair such as the face.
✔ Number of Sessions: Laser hair removal usually consists of more than one session. Although a significant portion of the hair falls out after the first session, more than one session may be required for full results.

Important Notes:
✔ The hair may temporarily harden or grow longer before shedding. This is a sign that the laser is affecting the hair from the root and will fall out later.
✔ The duration of hair shedding may vary depending on individual factors, but shedding is generally seen within 1-2 weeks.
