Is hair removal treatment effective after 1 yr gap or wait till September and start fresh, then continue through the winter?

Asked By:Shelly Aharon in Brooklyn, NY

A year ago I started my hair removal treatment for my bikini and underarms and only got through four sessions, which were about 6 to 7 weeks apart. I did this from January to June of 2016. I would like to start the treatment again now, but I will be going away in June. Is it effective or worth it for me to do my "5th" session now and then wait till September to start the 6th session?
