Why Does Hair Grow Back So Fast After Shaving?

Many people feel that after shaving, hair grows back thicker, darker or faster. But is that really the case?

Shaving only cuts the hair at the surface of the skin and has no effect on how the hair follicle works. That's why hair growth continues in exactly the same way — it's just that because the cut end of the hair is blunter, it can feel thicker and sharper.

Laser hair removal, by contrast, doesn't treat the surface of the hair, but targets the function of the hair follicle. That's why it can be a comfortable long-term solution for those who want to reduce the inconvenience of regular shaving, waxing or epilation.

One interesting aspect of laser hair removal is that not every hair can be treated with the same effectiveness at the same time. This is because hairs are in different growth phases. That's why a series of several sessions is needed to achieve the best possible result.

At Royal Lézer Szalon, we assess each guest individually — which area they want to treat, their skin and hair type, and what treatment schedule would be ideal for them.

Smooth skin doesn't necessarily have to mean constant shaving. Thanks to modern technology, much more comfortable and, in the long run, more practical solutions are now available.
