Why more than one session is needed

Hair goes through three growth phases, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase (anagen), when the follicle is richest in pigment. Since only a portion of hairs on any zone are in that phase at any given time, a single session can't reach every follicle β€” which is why a series of treatments at set intervals is needed.

How many sessions are typically needed

For most zones and hair types, between 6 and 8 sessions are needed, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The face and hormonally sensitive zones sometimes require a slightly longer protocol, while zones with coarser, darker hair (legs, underarms, bikini) often respond faster.

Face and neck6–8 sessions
Underarms and bikini6–8 sessions
Arms and legs6–8 sessions
Back and body8+ sessions

When you'll see the first result

Most clients notice sparser, finer hair after the second or third session. The full effect of the series is only assessed at the end of the recommended protocol, since each session targets the hairs that happened to be in their growth phase at that time.

What the number of sessions depends on

  • Hair type and density β€” coarser, darker hair tends to respond faster.
  • Hormonal factors β€” hormone-sensitive zones may need additional sessions.
  • Consistency in keeping the intervals between appointments.
  • Following the preparation and aftercare guidelines.
Once the series is complete, we recommend a "maintenance" session once or twice a year for any individual hairs that may return due to hormonal changes.
