How many Laser Hair removal treatments do I need? When can I expect to see results?

This depends on many variables; skin tone, hair color, texture, area being treated and the laser technology used. Hair growth is influenced by many factors like age, ethnicity, hormones, medication, metabolism, weight gain and genetics all play a part in hair location, thickness and resilience. On average, most clients require 6 treatments. Treatments are spaced 4-8weeks apart. Fewer treatments are needed if your goal is simply to reduce shaving and maintenance.  For facial hair, you want to repeat treatments on a 4 week cycle.  For body hair, you want to repeat treatments on a 6 to 8 week cycle.

What results can I expect?
In practice no laser destroys every hair follicle. Some follicles are destroyed, others are miniaturized into fine hairs, and others are shocked into prolonged dormancy. True “permanent hair removal” can ultimately be achieved, but not for every single hair in a given area. Results can vary. Our bell curve performance is 75% to 90% reduction. As with all medical treatments, results are not guaranteed.
