-i have had my first hair removal session 8 weeks ago -with ndyag laser. -i am skin type III - IV with dark hair -i saw remarkable results after one session in my legs -however, bikini and underarm i can tell there is 'almost' no difference. (although it is very black COARSE hair) -does this mean doctor needs to increase the intensity?? or it is unresponsive to the laser? or is it okay?
Answer: Laser hair removal requires many treatments
The first treatment rarely produces a visible result. You will need multiple treatments to continue to attack the hair follicle. Be patient. Your provider can gently increase the treatment energies.

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Requires Multiple Treatment Sessions Thank you for your question. Normally, the results can be seen as from the 3rd session, but you will not have 20% of hair reduction until the 6th session. You will need to continue with your treatments and you will notice the results gradually. Please continue to follow up with your physician. Best of Luck!

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Results Vary for Every Patient Laser hair removal results and the number of sessions vary from patient to patient. And because the hair “cycles” from growing to the resting phase, there are hairs in several phases each time you go for laser hair removal which is why it usually takes several sessions over a period of time to see the results you want. Having said this, there are times when one treatment is all that is needed – but this is not the norm. With the Nd: YAG that you are having done, most will need 4-6 treatments to get the results you want – that is, some may need fewer than this and some may need more – it is just the reality of laser hair removal – so make sure you are going to a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has the most knowledge of this subject and get all your questions answered.

Answer: Laser Hair Removal results are usually seen after the 3rd treatment After the 3rd treatment you will start seeing reduction of hair, but you will not see a dramatic reduction of hair until the 6-8th treatment. You will know whether your treatment is working before that when you see hair falling out approximately 1-2 weeks after the treatment and hair growing back thinner and slower.Please note that not all hair created equal, some are stronger and deeper and may need higher power so the laser may go deeper to destroy the deeper hair follicles. Honolulu MedSpa has different Laser Hair Removal lasers for treatment of resistant hair.We have done tens of thousands of laser hair removal cases and patients are very happy that they have beautiful smooth skin and don't have to shave or pluck as much therefore improving their quality of life.Technology is very important in Laser Hair Removal.
