Dear guest user10:If your settings were correct, and an effective device was used, you should have been able to achieve permanent hair removal after 3 to 6 treatments. It can take more treatments to achieve enough clearing for you to be satisfied, but after three to six treatments, you should definitely see a significant difference, and it should be permanent. Women with elevated androgens due to polycystic ovarian disease or congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but, in my experience, also see a very significant difference in 3 to 6 treatments.A more detailed explanation for this is given below.All the best, Dr. Clark
You may need to be evaluated for hormone issues -pcos or poly cystic ovary if you are a woman .Second the settings may need to be higher .Discuss with physician re work up and any change in regimen

The laser tip would have to be reused from someone who had warts, touch the warts and be able to resist the laser energy.Applicator tips are changed and the hair lasers can be used to even renove warts .Discuss your concerns with doctor but you should not worry.
