How many treatments are necessary for laser hair removal?
Five to eight treatments are necessary to make a hair bearing area essentially free of hair. Hair grows in cycles. The laser only works on active hair follicles. Not all follicles are active at any one time. The average hair follicle cycle is six weeks which is why your treatments will be spaced out about that far apart. Because all of your hair follicles are not active at the same time it is impossible to kill every follicle.
