How Many Laser Treatments Will I Need and How Far Apart are They Scheduled?
Most people need at least 4-6 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This is because hair grows in 3 phases and is killed in the first “anagen” active growing phase. Several treatments are needed to target ALL hair in the active growth phase. Approximately 4-6 weeks after every treatment, additional treatment is required to eliminate the hairs that came out of the dormant phase and are now active. After 4-6 treatments or so, patients should experience a considerable percentage of hair reduction. Depending upon hair type and genetic factors, some clients may require additional treatments beyond these initial treatments. If it seems like the treatments are not working after 6-8 treatments, patients should look into possible underlying reasons. Usually, treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to start, and gradually move to 6-8 weeks apart after the initial 3-4 treatments.
