If you lead a busy life, it can be difficult to find the time to remove unwanted hair through shaving, waxing, or bleaching. Removing hair on your own can also be a tedious task that you’d rather not perform, even if you do have the time.
Laser hair removal can give you the chance to get rid of unwanted hair on your face and body. If you’re wondering how many laser hair removal treatments you’ll need and how this treatment works, keep reading.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Through the use of highly concentrated light energy, laser hair removal destroys hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. You can opt for this treatment to get rid of hair from your face, arms, legs, chest, back, and bikini. After each laser hair removal session, you can expect a 15 to 30% reduction in hair loss. Once you’ve completed your recommended sessions, you’ll enjoy a significant reduction in hair.
How Many Hair Removal Treatments Are Recommended
The number of hair removal treatments you may need may be different than the number your friend or family member may need. The type of hair you have as well as where you’d like the hair removed will help our expert team determine how many treatments you’ll need. In most cases, patients can enjoy optimal results after six to eight treatments.
Treatments will need to be spaced out at least two weeks apart so that the hair can go into a new cycle. Keep in mind that it usually takes more treatments to get rid of hair on your face than it does to remove hair from your body.
Good Candidates for Laser Hair Removal
If you have unwanted hair on your face and/or body and are looking for an easy, effective way to get rid of it, laser hair removal may be a good option. If you have light blond, grey, or silver hair or your hair growth is the result of excessive testosterone levels, we do not recommend this treatment. Laser hair removal is also discouraged for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
