Sorry!  Let me clarify.  It's mostly all "slang" that I was using I guess.

"Pew pew pew" = the estimated sound effect produced by lasers (laser beams, laser guns, etc...) in television and movies.  So I was saying congratulations on getting your laser done.  So, "Gratz on the pew pew pew" = "Congratulations on getting your laser!"

As for the second part, lasering doesn't kill the hair follicles in an area evenly.  It only kills the hair follicles that are in an active growth stage.  That's why you have to have so many sessions to effectively clear it all, because hair grows in cycles, and they're not all synced together.  So, after your first few sessions when your hair starts growing again, only the follicles that were dormant during your treatment will be the ones growing, so it'll come in "patchy" looking or, "scattered" looking as you put it.  You won't spontaneously grow hair in new places, don't take it that way.  It's just an interesting thing to observe, visually, about your hair growth patterns after a treatment.  You'll see if you let it grow out any at all and get some stubble.

Wow, that was a long-winded explanation of what I thought was such a simple post, haha.  I hope this one was more informative.

Thank you Kristina for these detailed and informative explanations.
I didn't know that some follicles are active while other are dormant and that the active ones only are killed by the laser. I understand now why I have to expect that my hair will get more and more scattered. I will be patient, I promise ! :)
