How long is a laser hair removal session for the whole body?

Question

In one session, how long would it take to remove hair from the entire body?

Hi Solfurina.  This is impossible to answer without more information.  Of primary importance is how large you are.  Another question is male or female.  Generally males have larger areas to cover.  Finally, which laser is being used and which skin type do you have.  The lasers have different speeds and effectiveness, so somteimes fast won't necessarily mean good.Minimum for our practice would be about 2 hours and maximum may be 4 hours.

Thank you for your question. There are a lot of questions that need to be addressed when answering this question. My best suggestion for you is to do a consultation with your laser technician, make sure the place you are going is reputable. Laser hair removal for each area varies per individual receiving the treatment based on body size, gender and skin type. It is very important to realize this treatment will take multiple sessions and you will need to follow post care to avoid complications that can be associated with this procedure. Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard
