Hair reduction removal

Unfortunately there is no "one time" procedure for hair reduction. you will see a difference with the one treatment, regardless of the device used. for best results, we recommend treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. we usually recommend to patients to start with 6 treatments... in order to maximize the results. your dermatology office should be able to manage all your needs and expectations.

Laser Hair Removal - 1 Session

No device can ensure laser hair removal with one session. The reason for this is that lasers only work on the hair when it is the anagen phase. All of our hairs will be in different phases. This is why your laser hair removal sessions will be spaced out differently depending on your appointment so that your laser can be in phase with hairs entering the anagen phase.

I'm not sure how much, but with a good technician you can certainly see possibly 20% less hair after 1 treatment, b/c you *will* have at that time many hairs in the anagen phase. That being said, definitely do stick to lower arms only imo, once in a while people treated on the uppers are get increased hair growth induced by laser on the upper arms. The saprano isn't the most awesome laser, so get the best tech they have. I don't know however if this will give you a mix of coarse and fine hairs b/c some hairs even though treated, come back finer and are not removed.
