Can I Do Laser Hair Removal Session Every 2 Weeks?

I recommend my patients to have their laser hair removal sessions spaced four weeks apart depending on the area of the body being treated.  Having laser hair removal every two weeks will not allow the hair follicles to be lasered in the growth phase.  Laser hair removal targets hair that is in the active growth cycle, which is why it is best to wait at least four weeks between treatments.  The effectiveness of the laser hair removal treatment also depends on what type of laser is being used and the color of the hair being treated.  Laser hair removal works best on darker hair.

We ask our patients to wait at least 3-4 weeks in between laser hair removal treatments.  If you have had 3 sessions spaced appropriately, perhaps your hair is too light for the laser or your provider is using the wrong laser for you.  You should be seeing some results if the procedure is being done properly.

I would first consider that the laser system you are using, or the parameters the operating is selecting, are not optimal for you.  On average, I tell patients to expect 25-30% long term reduction of exisiting hairs with each treatment, and most all hairs will have a temporary improvement (because they are vaporized or damaged and fall out in 1-2 weeks).  Your comment that you "did not see any resuts" suggests the laser operator is not optimizing your treatment with the proper laser or settings.

In general, spacing laser treatments every 4-8 weeks (depending on body site) is best for the initial 3-5 treatment cyles.  This relates to the hair growth cycle and its response after injury.  Increasing the frequency of laser hair removal is actually not helpful, except to the financial bottom line of the practitioner suggesting it.
