Laser hair therapy works by destroying hair follicles responsible for hair growth. A laser beam can sometimes destroy every single hair follicle within a target area.

This is, however, not typically achieved within a single laser hair removal session. Consequently, hair regrowth can be expected in the target area. The hair follicles in the treatment area can be eliminated with follow-up sessions. More sessions and a smaller treatment area increase the likelihood of this happening.

The skill of your medical aesthetician determines whether you are able to achieve this level of satisfaction. The type of hair and its stage of growth during the treatment also play a role. The hair in the treatment area may be too short or light, for example. In this case, permanent laser hair removal will be nearly impossible.

Hair regrowth after laser therapy usually looks lighter and less noticeable than it was before. It is because of this that many medical spas claim permanent results with laser hair removal. There is still some degree of permanent hair reduction in the area even if it has not eliminated all the hair in the area.

Although laser hair removal reduces hair long-term, some stray hairs may appear periodically. It is easy to maintain hair-free areas through maintenance sessions. Compared to the old strands, the new ones are finer and less noticeable. Even if a few strands remain, they’re much less dense than they were when you first began laser hair removal.

After receiving the recommended number of sessions, many people experience hair-free skin for around 2 years. However, this timeline varies from patient to patient. Based on factors such as hair thickness and density, hormone levels, and the location being treated, individual results may vary.

In order to achieve the best results from laser hair removal, follow-up treatments are necessary. Individuals require different numbers of maintenance laser treatments. The average person requires between six and twelve sessions of laser therapy, its always better to plan for the higher end financially.

Each session should be spaced out every four-six weeks, which means the entire treatment cycle could take nine months to complete.

It is likely that you will notice fewer hairs after each session. Both the texture and color of any regenerated or remaining hair will be lighter. After your initial treatment, it is estimated that the number of hairs will decrease by 10 to 25 percent. There will be an improvement in the reduction rate afterward, but it will also vary.

Additionally, you’ll probably need occasional maintenance sessions to achieve the best results. By using these, you can prevent the hair follicles from growing back. A maintenance session may be necessary after your full initial laser treatment, depending on your specific needs.
