How many sessions for Laser Hair Removal & More Information

Laser hair removal has been around for 2 decades and is only increasing in popularity while it is a permanent solution-it does take a few months to complete the treatment. First of all you only want to have the procedure performed in a medically supervised facility by a licensed CME (certified medical electrologist) and you always want to know what type of equipment is being used. The Palomar IPL laser technology is one of the best and safest ways to remove hair.

In general is takes 6-7 treatments to remove 90-98% of the hair permanently with treatments being spaced once every 6-8 weeks on average except for facial hair which is every 4-6 weeks on average. For most effective outcomes, experts advise you go in for yearly maintenance treatment options (for at least 2 several years) this is usually only once a year and is due to the follicle stimulating hormone growing a couple of brand new hairs.
The best candidates are those with dark, thick hair. Especially those whose ethnic genetics are prone to excess hair such as Hispanics, Italians, Indians, and those from the middle East. Most facilities are able to eliminate hair from any area on your body but the most popular areas tend to be face, underarms, legs and bikini areas.

It is always a good idea to have a complimentary consultation with an expert to make sure you are a good candidate and what the best treatment plan for you will be.
