How many sessions
Typically between 5 – 8 sessions
How many sessions required for satisfactory results can vary of course. Some can do with a couple of treatments whereas others prove to be slow responders, requiring multiple more. Factors like skin and hair colour are important, but results often surprise. The areas that respond best are, bikini lines, underarms, legs, or any other areas which are not under hormonal influence. Once the hair is gone, (for more than 6 months) it will for the most part never return. Areas like the female face or the male back tend to need more maintenance treatments because new hairs appear as we age in these areas.
How many sessions you need can not be guaranteed in advance, but our free consultations offer a test site treatment and an evaluation.
For Men
Many men choose to thin the growth on body or facial areas. This can require 1 – 3 treatments. This is a natural looking and easy way to to reduce the warmth or itchiness of excess hair.
How often is best?
We suggest a certain regime of treatments, but you are not obligated to adhere to this. In each session you will permanently lose a percentage of your hair which will never return. For facial areas, we suggest coming every 6 – 8 weeks. For body areas, every 2 months. This is partly because body hair has a longer growth cycle than does facial hair. Facial hair is also more visible, therefore more frequent treatments keep you feeling more confident.
Spacing your treatments closer is a more aggressive approach and therefore has merit. But many treated hair follicles will not return as quickly as they are ‘scheduled’ to. We advise that waiting a longer time will be more cost effective in the end because of fewer total treatments needed.
