How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Are Needed for Best Results?

Laser Hair Removal

While bodily hair growth is natural, you may not like having hair in certain areas. Unfortunately, traditional hair removal methods can be painful and frustrating and offer short-term results. Hair removal methods such as waxing, shaving, and plucking can make your skin irritated and prone to rashes. Thankfully, there is a more effective solution to remove unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is an advanced hair removal method that offers long-lasting results without pain, frustration, or irritation. 

We know that you want to look and feel great. That is why we are proud to offer laser hair removal treatment for many areas of your body. Say goodbye to waxing, shaving, and plucking because laser hair removal is the last hair removal treatment you will ever need. At SkinPerfected, we offer laser hair removal services. If you want to know more about this advanced treatment and how it can benefit you, contact us to schedule a consultation. 

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work? 

We offer effective laser hair removal treatments because we understand your hair growth cycle. Your hair goes through three major phases during its growth cycle. Your hair starts in the anagen phase, moves to the catagen phase, and ends in the telogen phase. Your hair goes through all of these phases at different times. Therefore, at any given time, there is hair on your body going through all these stages. 

Laser hair removal works by exposing your unwanted hair to pulses of light emitted by a laser. While your hair is in the growth phase, it will absorb these pulses. This is the only phase that the laser is effective. During this phase, the laser can reach the root of your hair. The heat from the laser energy destroys the hair follicle and causes it to fall out and prevent future growth. Because the laser is only effective for hair in this phase of the growth cycle, you will need multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. 

Is Laser Hair Removal a Permanent Hair Removal Treatment? 

Since the laser used during the hair removal treatment destroys your hair follicles, laser hair removal is considered semi-permanent. This means that you will not experience regrowth for many years after your laser hair removal treatment. 

Naturally, your hair will grow back over time. However, this regrowth will be lighter and finer than your normal hair growth. Since factors such as genetics, hormones, and certain medications may alter the way your hair grows, the results you achieve with a laser hair removal treatment will vary. 

Once you notice your hair growing back, you can schedule a touch-up treatment to maintain the results you initially achieved. We will assist you in keeping your hair away for as long as possible. 

Brazilian and Bikini Laser Hair Removal 

The intimate areas, such as your bikini line, are typically the most difficult areas to treat with traditional hair removal methods. This can be especially true if you shave. This is due to the skin being more sensitive and prone to rashes and ingrown hairs in this area. Shaving and using hair removal creams typically leave the ends of your hair blunt, causing skin irritation. 

When you rely on the advanced technology of a laser to remove unwanted hair from your intimate areas, you can be sure that you will not be left with skin irritations, ingrown hairs, or rashes. We offer bikini laser hair removal treatments for people who want to get rid of the hair in these intimate areas. 

How Long Is Each Laser Hair Removal Session? 

One great advantage of a professional laser hair removal procedure is that it does not take much time to complete. Unlike shaving, waxing, and plucking, laser hair removal treatment sessions are quick and comfortable. The duration of your laser hair removal treatment may vary depending on the area we are treating and the amount of hair in the target area. If we remove hair from your upper lips, the treatment will be shorter than if we remove hair from your legs or back. 

Laser hair removal is worth your time when comparing a short laser treatment every few weeks to shaving every few days and dealing with short-lived results. In the long run, you will spend far less time and money on laser hair removal. 

How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need? 

Due to the effects of the laser on your hair in the different growth phases, you will need multiple treatment sessions to allow us to reach all of your hair and achieve optimal results. On average, you will require two to six treatments to remove all unwanted hair in a target area. 

We will create a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs and concerns. Each laser session must be spaced one to four months apart to allow your hair to reach the anagen phase. The intervals between your sessions depend on your hair’s rate of growth. Your sessions must be timed perfectly to effectively remove all your unwanted hair.
