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.

When it comes to laser hair removal you can expect the hair growth to slowly reduce after each session, the pattern is quite unpredictable and sparse but patients say it's all worth it.
The number of sessions required will depend on a few factors like; area of treatment, skin colour, hair follicle colour, hair density, coarseness and past medical history of the patient. Hormonal imbalances like poly-cystic ovarian syndrome or thyroid might also lead to an increase in sessions.
The average number of sessions required by a patient can be anywhere from 4 to 6. However, this can increase depending on how they react to the type of laser used.

Overall, the number of sessions needed will depend on factors like area treated, hormonal changes, and type of laser used. On average, you will have a 20% reduction in your hair growth by session, and in total, you will need between 6 to 10 sessions to remove all the hair. For the face area, sessions can be done every six weeks, but for areas like the torso and lower body, they need to be repeated every eight weeks to have the desired result.

Thank you for your question. Permanent hair reduction with laser hair removal typically takes 6-9 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart to see 70-90% reduction. Please not that annual touch ups to may be needed. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

You will need on averag 5-7 treatments depending on the area and your hair growth.  Occassionally, patients may need more treatments.  Usually treatments are spread out 4-6 weeks based on the area being treated.  

Laser hair reduction sessions can vary depending on the provider and the device being used. The number of treatments can also be dependent upon the color and thickness of the hair. Six sessions are typically needed to make sure that the laser is targeting all the hair due to hair growth cycles. Approximately 4-8 weeks is the average time to space out treatments.
