A member asked:

Does taking hair loss pills restart the hair growth in the pubic area that has brazilian ipl done?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Only hair follicles that are not destroyed will return. The IPL may put some follicles into the telogen (sleep) phase and growth may return several months after treatment but supplements are unlikely to cause re-growth of damaged follicular units

Dr Juchau and another doctor agreed
