A member asked:

When a person waxes does it make it so that some hair doesn't grow back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Waxing: Usually, waxing will removed hair that is actively growing. It will not prevent the regrowth of hair like certain lasers do. That is why waxing is done on a repetitive basis.
