I know each person is different and it varies, but in general how often do you have to get laser hair removal after the last treatment? Thanks in advance for replying!
Answer: Laser Maintenance Thanks for your question. As you mentioned, laser hair removal varies from person to person. Depending on the skin type and hair color, the type of laser and the number of treatment sessions required can be quite different. Once desired results are achieved, many people come back annually for 1-2 treatment maintenance sessions. While in the maintenance phase after getting laser hair removal, you may notice there are times when hair growth seems to be more aggressive. This is the ideal time to get a touch-up session, as hair in the active growth phase is most effectively targeted. Best of luck!Dr. Mehta

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Facts--Takes a series of treatments It really depends on the amount of hair, thickness and treatment area. I typically have patients do laser hair removal every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. This schedule gives great results with hair removal. Some patients do require treatments, every 3-12 months, to maintain results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser hair removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: LHR Maintenance I recommend after you get to your desired endpoint (be it total removal or just thinning of the hair) that you repeat treatments every 6-12 months depending on the location being treated. This will help maintain your results for a longer time. Good luck.

Answer: Laser hair removal/maintence This is a good question Usually after the treatment is completed we leave it up to the patient when they want to return for touch ups. This can vary anywhere from 3-12 months.Hair grows in cycles These cycles vary depending on the area of the body.Therefore it will depend on the area that was treated and the quality of the hair in that particular area.As more of the hair follicles are treated in a particular area you should be able to go longer between treatments. It is never possible to treat 100% of the hair follicles.

Answer: Maintenance after laser hair removal In general, touch ups are needed for LHR about every 6-12 months. It really depends on the area and the thickness of the hair. Remember that the goal of treatment is 75-80% removal, not 100%.
