We recommend a minimum course of six sessions every 6-8 weeks to achieve an 80-90% reduction in hair growth. However, since hair growth is largely dependent on hormones, results may vary from person to person and some areas may require additional sessions.
Laser Hair Removal
typically requires six to eight treatments, but can take up to 10 sessions depending on the area being treated and its growth cycle. The time between treatments depends on the rate of hair growth in that area and the hair growth cycle at the time of the consultation.Hair growth and loss occur in three distinct cycles: the anagen phase (growth phase), the catagen phase (transition phase between growth and loss) and the telogen phase (when hair loss leaves room for new hair growth). By performing treatments at different stages of hair growth, we can ensure that both existing and new hair follicles are targeted.
Laser Hair Removal
works differently for everyone, as everyone regrows their hair at different rates. However, on average, you can expect a 70-80% reduction in hair growth after four to six full cycles of treatments.After three treatments, at least 50% of your hair will be gone forever. After six treatments, that number will usually increase to 90% permanently removed hair. It will take several laser hair removal treatments to get to the point where those hairs simply stop growing. Anyone over the age of 16 is suitable for laser hair removal, which works best on dark hair and any type of skin.
Laser Hair Removal may not be as effective for people with light-colored hair, including blonde, red or gray hair. However, electrolysis sends electrical energy directly to the follicle while laser extraction involves the use of light energy that is converted into thermal energy. The most common areas for laser hair removal treatment are the legs, armpits, upper lip, chin and bikini line. There are home laser hair removal devices available on the market, which can be tempting to use instead of undergoing treatments.
Sometimes it can itch (very slightly and bearably) when the laser hits a patch with thick or inward-growing hair. Unwanted body hair is a common concern for men, trans women and non-binary people alike, but thankfully you can undergo laser hair removal on almost any part of your body including your armpits, bikini area, legs, back and face. Previous generations of laser technology could only effectively treat patients with dark hair and fair skin so that the laser could more easily detect the pigment inside the hair. If you regrow the treated area's hair, you will notice that it is much thinner and less visible than before treatment.
The basic principle behind laser hair removal is that only the pigment in the hair - not in the skin - must absorb light energy. During laser hair removal treatments only hairs in the “active” stage will be treated by the laser. Switching to laser hair removal will not only remove unwanted body hair more effectively and permanently but it will also give you clearer and smoother skin with less irritation.
