I want laser hair removal of my beard, how many sessions will I need? (Photo)

Question

Male 19 years old, how many sessions so that it will never grow back again.

Chet Mays, MD · Answer

Every patient, it can take a different amount of treatments, depending on the patient and the laser. We use the Light Sheer Duet and for the face we recommend doing a series of 8 treatments every 4-6 weeks. Now we can never promise that its permanent, so we recommend that you to maintenance treatments every 6 months. The only thing that is labeled to truly remove hair permanently is electrolysis.

Thank you for your photo. Laser hair removal is a great option for those wanting to get rid of body and facial hair. When the laser light shines on your skin, it is absorbed more by the follicle than by the surrounding skin, mostly because the hair tends to have more pigment than the surrounding skin. This allows the laser to damage the hair follicle without harming your skin. The amount of treatments and cost is different for every person. It’s best to get a consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.

What will happen if you pluck a remaining hair after it has been lasered? Will that void the treatment that was performed? (phot
