Most clients need approximately 6–8 treatments for optimal hair reduction. However, every person is different. The number of sessions depends on the treatment area, hair colour and thickness, skin type, hormones, and individual hair growth cycle. Some areas may require additional treatments or occasional maintenance.
You can often notice changes after the first few treatments. Treated hairs gradually shed, and with each session you may notice slower regrowth, fewer hairs, and finer, softer hair. Results continue to improve throughout the treatment series.
Most clients tolerate laser hair removal very well. Clients usually describe the sensation as brief warmth or a light snapping feeling against the skin. Sensitive areas may feel slightly more intense, but the treatment is quick, and settings can be adjusted according to your skin type, hair and comfort level.
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction by targeting follicles that are actively producing hair. Because not all follicles are active at the same time, you need a series of treatments. Hormonal changes and previously inactive follicles can also lead to new hair growth over time, so an occasional maintenance treatment may be recommended.
Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours before your appointment and arrive with clean skin, free of lotions, oils or deodorant. Avoid waxing, plucking or epilating before and during your treatment series, as the hair follicle needs to be present for the laser to target it. Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure before your appointment, and let me know about any medications or recent health changes.
