A few laser practioners I have been to have given me conflicting advice about the length of time I should wait between treatments. Some say 4-5 weeks is the ideal period while others have indicated 7-8 weeks is much better if one is to target a greater proportion of hair in the right growth phase. What is your view on the ideal length of time that one should wait between treatments?

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Facts--takes a series of treatments I typically have patients do every 4 weeks for the first 3 times and then every 4-6 weeks for 3 times after. It will take a series of treatments and some people need treatments to maintain. See an expert in laser hair removal for best results. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Length of time between treatment areas The laser hair growth cycle is different in different areas and different individuals. Since the laser is most effective in the anagen phase, treating laser hair more frequently than a patient's hair cycle is not advantageous. Almost all areas require at least 3, preferably 4 week interval between treatments so that the hair can shed from the previous treatment and that the hair will be in the growth phase of hair removal.

Answer: Laser Hair Most people do well with treatments every 4-6 weeks, it is important to space out treatments to allow for skin to heal and to catch hairs in the growth phase which is when laser treatments are most effective.
