I've received several laser hair removal treatments in the past. I recently went to a new provider who must have had the laser at a low setting because after 4 days hair is growing back and not falling out like after my prior sessions. How long do I have to wait until I can safely return for more treatment? (this question is about safety, not the ideal 4-6 week wait time)

Answer: Safe Minimum Time Between Treatments This is a great question that probably doesn't get discussed often enough. As you stated, the ideal time between laser hair removal treatments is 4-6 weeks. In my experience, if patients proceed with laser hair removal treatments less than 3 weeks apart then they may not experience their desired results.

Answer: Safty wise With regards to treatments after a recent treatment being safe I would wait at least a week or two so any inflammation can decrease prior to doing another session, especially if you are prone to Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. I would speak to your provider regarding your concerns so that the laser settings can be adjusted accordingly.
