How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

The number of laser hair removal sessions required varies widely among individuals, depending on the treatment area, hair density, hair colour, skin type, and the growth cycle of the hair.

How often do I need a touch up?

Once you've finished the initial treatment cycle, occasional touch-ups may be required once or twice annually. These follow-up appointments help maintain smooth results, addressing any new hair growth from follicles that may become active after the main treatments.

How to make the hair removal last longer:

While the effectiveness of laser hair removal is influenced by physiological factors outside your control, such as genetics and hormones, there are several steps you can take daily to enhance and prolong your results.

Don’t use products that damage your skin

Maintaining a skin-friendly routine is essential for prolonging the effects of laser hair removal. Avoid using harsh chemical peels or abrasive scrubs in the treated area. These products can irritate the skin and potentially lead to pigmentation issues, which can affect subsequent laser treatments.

Use sunscreen daily

Protecting your skin from the sun is essential after laser hair removal. UV exposure can not only cause damage and premature ageing but can also lead to pigmentation changes in the treated areas. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to maintain skin health and ensure the best possible results from your laser treatment.

Follow your dermatologist advices

Adhere strictly to the aftercare instructions provided by your dermatologist. This includes avoiding specific activities and environments that may compromise your skin’s healing process and the efficacy of the laser treatment. Regular follow-up appointments are also vital to assess the progress of your treatment and make any necessary adjustments.
