How Many Sessions in Average Are Needed to Stop Body Hair Growth?

Reducing hair growth or permanent hair reduction can vary from provider to provider and typically takes between 3-10 sessions depending on the body area and an individual's physiology (i.e. hormones, etc).

You will need anywhere from 6-9 treatments with laser hair removal or permanent hair reduction.  Depending which area is being treated, on average this treatment will need to be repeated every 4-8 weeks.

Typically 4-6 sessions are needed for hair loss. With the Gentle Max Pro by Candella they recommend treatments to be spaced apart by 4-8 weeks, depending on the area being treated.

For our lightsheer diode laser, we suggest eight or more treatments to provide long term hair reduction for most patients. Some need less and others need more.
 

You should not think of "a number of sessions needed" to reduce hair growth.  More sessions are needed in the beginning (around 3-4 for the body and 5 for the face).  After that, the sessions should be spaced out significantly in order to touch up areas from time to time.  It does depend on the person and type of skin so a darker skinned patient may need more sessions.  Also, if a patient has excessive hair growth due to a hormonal imbalance, more sessions may be needed.  Consult your doctor so he or she can examine the areas that you would like treated for your best options.
