Question: Hi doctor,
I have a Huge problem. I've been getting laser hair removal on my face for sometime but last week the technician accidentally zapped off a dime size chunk of my hair on my hair. I so depressed. There is absolutely no hair in that area. Will my hair grow back? If so how long will it take ? And what can I use to speed up my hair growth? Thank you in advance

Hello and thank you for submitting your question.
Laser hair removal requires several sessions to permanently remove hair. As such, there is a nearly a zero percent chance that the hair will not grow back in this particular area since it's the first time it XXXXXXX subjected to the laser. Make sure to eat a healthy diet with good hydration, consider a multivitamin, keep the area moisturized & clean and out of direct sunlight for the time being. I am confident your hair will grow back quite soon.
I hope this helps to put your mind at ease after this accident. Thank you again for submitting your question.
Take care,

Hello again.
Minoxidil is effective in individuals who experience baldness because of hormonal influences (also called androgenic allopecia). I would not recommend using this at the time being.

Hi again,
Using the minoxidil specifically in the area will not cause harm, however it is unlikely to produce a significantly different result compared to letting the hair regrow on its own. Since you have already purchased the product, carefully apply it to the area according to the directions & in the quantity reccomended. Also, make sure to
follow the recommendations previously suggested regarding good nutrition and avoiding sunlight to the area.
Be well,
Dr G
