How many laser hair removal treatments will I need and spaced how far apart?

The number of laser hair removal treatments required depends upon your skin type, hair coloring, coarseness of the hair, depth of the hair follicle and the size of the area that need be treated.
*
Generally, 80% - 90% of good candidates will need at least 4 to 6 laser hair removal treatments spaced 6 - 10 weeks apart to experience 70% to 90% hair reduction. The cycle of hair growth has three phases and laser is killed in the active growing phase. 4 to 6 treatments are needed to target ALL hair in the active growth phase.

After 4 - 6 treatments or so, patients should experience 70% to 90% of hair reduction. But some clients may require additional treatments because of skin type, hair coloring and genetic factors.

After all initial laser hair removal treatments, many patients still need the maintenance sessions once or twice a year for image ideal.
