How Many Treatments Are Needed to Remove the Hair?
During your first laser hair removal appointment, you will likely see a reduction of hair by about 10 to 25 percent. It does require multiple treatments to fully remove the hair; generally, between two and six treatments are needed.
The number of treatments needed will vary on the person, the thickness of the hair, the areas treated, the laser being used, and the amount of melanin a person has. Your doctor will be able to discuss these factors with you and let you know what results you can expect and how many treatments they suggest to reach your desired results.
How Long Do You Have to Wait Between Treatments?
It is best to wait at least four to six weeks before having another laser hair removal treatment done. This may vary depending on your individual condition as well as where you’re at in your hair growth cycle (laser treatments are only effective when your hair is in the anagen phase). Your doctor can develop a plan and let you know when the best time is for you to return for another treatment.
How Long Do Results Last?
Some patients remain hair free for months, while some may not see regrowth for years. When the hair does return, it will likely be thinner and less noticeable.
