How Many Sessions
Hair grows in cycles — laser targets follicles in anagen phase. Six to eight sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart is typical for body; facial hair may need more.
Hormonal areas (chin, neck) may require maintenance annually. Realistic expectations prevent frustration.
Pre-Treatment Checklist
Shave treatment area twenty-four hours before — no waxing or plucking for four weeks prior (removes target follicle). Avoid sun and self-tanner two weeks before and after.
Disclose medications; isotretinoin within past six months is a contraindication for many lasers.
Comfort and Results
Modern diode and alexandrite lasers include cooling. Mild sting and redness resolve within hours. Hair sheds over two weeks post-session.
Bridal Veil packages sometimes include underarm or bikini touch-ups — coordinate with dress fittings and honeymoon travel.
