How many laser hair removal treatments will I need, and at what frequency?
In order to target all hair in the active growth phase, several treatments are needed. Hair grows in three phases and is killed in the first “anagen” active growing phase. Therefore, most people need at least six to eight initial treatments spaced six to ten weeks apart. Additional treatment is required to eliminate the hairs that came out of the dormant phase and are now active. After several treatment sessions, patients should see considerable hair reduction. Some people may require additional treatments beyond these initial treatments. Of course, the treatments may show no results at all even after several sessions. There are many possible underlying reasons for this, such as genetic or medical conditions, or even incorrect laser settings. You should see some shedding of the treated hairs within the first few weeks. If not, further sessions may be questionable.
