Length of Time between Laser Hair Removal Sessions

Laser Hair Removal in extremely effective.  Our office has a strict protocol that maximizes success in treating excessive hair of the face and body.  We follow these guidelines:

• Aggressive pre procedural documentation and treatment of excessive pigmentation.
• Treatment intervals of 6-8 weeks between treatments.
• Examination by a trained physician before each treatment to assess the efficacy of each treatment and skin response.
• Physician performed laser hair removal

It is important to have an experienced physician assess your level of response between treatments to lengthen or shorten the duration, interval, and intensity of treatment.

The hair growth cycles are different in deiiferent parts of the body and may vary among individuals to some degree.

As a generalization it seems that in the upper half of the body about 4-6 week intervals may be optimum and in the lower half, 6-8 weeks.

Therefore if patients are teating multiple areas we suggest a compromise of about 6 weeks between treatments,

As has been pointed out by other practitioners, it depends on the area of the body.  When treating multiple areas (face, underam and bikini on the same day) we stick to approximately 6-8 week intervals.
