For laser hair removal, how strict are the time gaps between appointments?

mn1014
I go to college in L.A., so for 10 weeks at a time I'm in L.A. and then I'm in Sacramento for the whole summer and autumn, winter, and spring break. Would 10 weeks be too long to wait between appointments? Also, do the time gaps have to be consistent? For example, could I wait 10 weeks between appointments 1 and 2, but wait like 4 weeks between appointments 2 and 3? In case it matters, I have light skin and black, thick hair. I was interested in laser hair removal on my underarms and lower legs.
