Each laser requires different number of treatments for permanent results. With the Lightsheer by Lumenis, the results are noticeable even after the first treatment. The hair becomes thinner, lighter, and patchy with each consecutive procedure. Some patients require maintenance treatments or touch ups after 5-7 treatments. I would recommend getting a package with a service guarantee or maintenance plan to make sure that most of the hair is gone and you are happy with the results.
