Laser Hair Removal Results

Laser hair removal treatments have come a long way since their limited use in the mid-1990s. Now a variety of skin types and hair types can be treated successfully. There are a number of factors that can affect a person's laser hair removal results, though. These include the type of laser, the hairs' growth cycle, and each person's unique hair type.

Factors That Affect Laser Hair Removal Results

A single treatment cannot remove all hairs due to hair's natural growth cycle. As with hair on the scalp, body hair goes through distinct phases of growth and rest. Hairs that are in the middle of a resting period will not be affected by the laser; they must be treated while in the growth cycle to prevent further hair growth. Your hairs' growth cycle will affect your laser hair removal results and the number of total treatments you need to achieve ideal results.

Still, even as little as one treatment can result in finer, lighter, less noticeable hair. Hair that was treated while in a growth phase (non-dormant phase) will begin to fall out permanently in a few days to a couple of weeks. After two to six treatments, hair may be completely eliminated in the treated zone. Lighter hair may take more sessions to remove, and the same is true for individuals who have less contrast between the tone of their skin and hair.

While not immediate, laser hair removal results are permanent. Some people will require touch-up sessions every few years, but this maintenance is minimal.
