How many times is it for laser hair removal on upper lip?

Question

I want to have the laser hair removal on my upper lip. How many times does it take to do this service? Thanks

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.Every patient is different. The upper lip may require more treatments than averaged base on the individual. Depending on how coarse the hair is, the color of the hair and your skin type all play a factor in acheiving the results you desire. To see what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

It all depends on the amount of hair that you have and the combination of skin type and hair color (because you will have more treatments if you have darker skin, ie less energy used per treatment to protect the skin).  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. It typically takes 6-9 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart to 70-90% reduction. The timing between treatments is very important for optimal results as you want to treat the hair when it is in its growth phase. It is important to note that annual touch-ups may be needed. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

It takes about 6-8 treatments for any area; however, the upper lip and chin are particularly stubborn areas so they may actually need more."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
