Got 9 laser hair removal treatments and not seeing the best results. Help!

israelichick373
I've had 9 treatments done with the Alma Soprano Laser. I have olive skin and naturally have a lot of hair, but I expected most it to be gone by the 9th treatment. After taking a break from this salon, I'm still having to shave once or twice a week, and I see some results but maybe 40% reduction AT MOST (if that). My questions are: Is it typical for women not to see much results at this stage? Does this mean the technician was not detailed enough? Perhaps the laser itself isn't working properly?
