Laser hair removal: how many sessions?

Why isn't one session enough?

Laser works on hairs in their growth phase. Only some hairs are in that phase at any time, so most people need 6 to 8 sessions.

Usually 4 to 6 weeks for the face and 6 to 8 weeks for the body. After the main course, maintenance sessions are spaced further apart.

Don't wax or pluck for four weeks beforehand; shaving is fine. Avoid direct sun and tanning, and tell the therapist about any medication you take.
