Laser hair removal-hair getting darker?

Hello,
I have started treatments for laser hair removal by a board cert. Dr. I have had 2 treatments the 1st was great, I saw a decrease in hair growth for about 1 month. I just had my 2nd treatment about 7 days ago and ever since then the hair has not grown but it is there and very dark. Much darker and thicker looking then it was before, almost under the skin because I can't shave it off. Has anyone ever had experience with this from laser hair removal before? I'm hoping this is just part of the treatment and the hair will be removed as planned. Please let me know if this is normal. I hope it gets better, if it doesn't in a few weeks I will call the Dr office and check in on this. Thanks!

If you are having laser treatments by a specific doctor, then that doctor should be answering your questions. That is part of what you are paying him for. What you are seeing are hair follicles close to the skin surface which would look darker viewed that way.
