I've had one session 2 weeks ago. It seemed like a really quick session. I've had a few hairs fall out - once they fall out, are they permanently gone? Do hairs continue to fall out over time, and I won't really know how effective the treatment was for weeks yet? Or should all the hair fall out the first time, and then a portion regrows, and that's when you do your next session?
Answer: Hair Reduction After a Session of Laser Hair Removal The amount of hair that falls out at each session of laser hair removal can vary. Hairs grow in 3 different phases, and laser hair removal is effective against hairs in the growing phase. If the hairs are in the correct phase, they should be permanently reduced. Some hairs can be ejected from the follicle immediately, while some can continue to grow and fall out over the next few weeks. We usually recommend neck and face treatments to be done every 4 weeks and any body area below the neck every 6 weeks so that the hairs will hopefully be in the correct phase for laser hair reduction. Some treatments will yield a lot of hair removal while others will result in very little hair removal. It just depends on the phase of growth.

Answer: Hair removal loss You don't state which laser was used, but several sessions are usually needed before a final assessment can be made. The lenght of time spent performing the treatment session depends on a variety of factors including the size of the area to treatment, the type of laser and the denisty of the hair. Any regrowth depends depends upon the hair growth cycle you are in and this will determine the degree of hair that may lose. Be patient, complete the course and follow the advice from your practitioner.

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Facts--takes a series of treatments The amount of improvement will vary. I typically have patients do every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. It will take a series of treatments and some people need treatments to maintain.

Answer: Laser Hair Removal The industry standard recommends 6 treatments performed over 1 1/2 to 2 years. However with each treatment the hairs will fall out within 2 to 4 weeks and you will be hair free until the inactive hair growth comes in. Eventually most of the hair will develope into Anagen hair cycle for a permanent hair reduction.

Answer: How much hair falls out with each treatment? Ideally, every hair in the growth phase will fall out or shed after a laser hair treatment. Since not all hair is in the growth phase, only a portion of the hair can be removed during each session. Each treatment should either have less hair or finer hair from previous treatments.
