A few laser practioners I have been to have given me conflicting advice about the length of time I should wait between treatments. Some say 4-5 weeks is the ideal period while others have indicated 7-8 weeks is much better if one is to target a greater proportion of hair in the right growth phase. What is your view on the ideal length of time that one should wait between treatments?
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,
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:
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.
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.
