How Many Sessions Are Necessary for Successful Laser Hair Removal?

The number of sessions necessary for successful laser hair removal will depend upon your type of hair and skin color. In most cases, multiple sessions are required; typically between five and seven. However, in some cases, up to a dozen sessions may be necessary to guarantee a long-term reduction of hair.

The time interval between these individual treatments has not been standardized – although most specialists will usually recommend spacing the treatments at four to six weeks apart for most areas of your body.

Once again, the total number of sessions required will depend primarily on your sex, skin color, area of the body being treated, and the coarseness of your hair. Course dark colored hair on light skin is the easiest type to treat, while finer hair on dark colored skin will usually required more sessions over a longer period of time. Considerably more treatments may be required on the facial areas of both men and women in order to achieve the desired results.

It’s important to note that laser hair removal is not considered to be a “permanent” solution. Instead, it is considered to be a “long-term” solution. You should also know that the laser does not work on light or very fine (peachfuzz) hair. Also, since hair typically grows in several phases (anagen, telogen, catagen), the laser will only have effect on the actively growing follicles (anagen), and several sessions are required to kill hair through all the phases of growth.

The only permanent hair removal solution for all types of hair is electrolysis. However, it has several shortcomings. These include possible scarring, discomfort, and overall expense.
