How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?

For permanent hair removal I recommend doing laser treatments. You would need anywhere from 6-9 treatments depending on how thick or coursed the hair follicle is. Purchasing a package would be very beneficial and going in for your treatments 4-6 weeks apart. Seek to a medical provider who does laser treatments for all skin types to prevent any pigment or sensitivity

Laser hair removal is permanent hair reduction. It usually takes 4 to 6 treatments to achieve full results. Depending on the person the hair could be reduced up to 70% and the hair that is left will be lighter and finer. A person will usually need "touch up" laser treatments every 6 to 12 months to maintain results. Good luck

Laser hair removal is a great option because the results are permanent, however it does take multiple sessions to experience these results. In the beginning, the sessions should eliminate all hair. The hair will grow back more slowly and finely each time. Eventually, after several treatments, the hair will cease to grow back. Touch-ups are encouraged once or twice per year, because new hair growth may occur.Because the back is a large expanse to treat, I would recommend finding a practice that offers Lumenis Lightsheer Lasers. We have them, and they are very effective and practically pain-free, which makes everything easier and more enjoyable.

Unfortunately, there is no permanent way to remove hair.  Typically, patients notice an improvement in the amount and texture of the hair after five treatments.  Most offices offer a package of treatments, since multiple treatments are required to target all of the hairs in their growth phases.  The results are not permanent but most patients are able to discontinue shaving and come in for occasional "touch ups" following the completion of their hair removal pacakge.  Many patients only require touch ups a few times a year, but this can vary.  When treated with the proper laser, you should notice a significant difference in how often you need to shave.
