How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Are Needed for Permanent Hair Reduction?

LHR treatment benefits any individual who would like to take advantage of a permanent solution to facial or other body hair. It can extract as much hair as desired and give you hairless, silky, smooth skin rather than shaving or waxing. Nonetheless, many people have asked: What makes the treatments permanent, and how many sessions are required?

Laser hair removal is painless at Ojas Skin Care; our professionals utilize state-of-the-art 2D laser techniques for smooth, efficient treatment. This blog post will help you get a clearer picture of the number and types of sessions required and the factors affecting them.

Understanding Advanced laser hair treatment

Light-based hair removal focuses the mild power on the melanin (pigment) inside the hair follicle. This energy is damaging to the hair follicle. It removes the ability of the follicle to grow hair in the future. It is essential to know that LHR aims to achieve the goal of permanent hair reduction, which means that most hair follicles are disabled and cannot grow hair at all. Any regrowth is usually finer, lighter, and slower.

Typical Number of Sessions Required

The number of sessions needed will vary from one body area to another, and other elements like skin type, the color of hair, and hormonal factors. Here is a summary:

1. Non-Hormonal Areas

Non-hormonal areas such as the arms, legs, underarms, and the bikini line are relatively easy to treat.

Number of Sessions: Treatment is commonly delivered in 6–8 sessions or less.

Maintenance: Ideally, members may require one or two sessions at most per year to get the best of these services.

Why Fewer Sessions?: These areas usually have darker, coarser hair and are less influenced by hormonal changes, making them easier to treat.

2. Hormonal Areas (Face, Neck, etc.)

It is slightly more difficult to shave areas like the face or neck because hormonal changes increase one’s rate of hair growth.

Number of Sessions: Between 10 and 12 sessions is usually recommended.

Maintenance: Further sessions may be required after 3–4 months.

Why More Sessions?: Some areas that contain hormones are likely to have more hair follicles that are difficult to remove compared with other regions, hence the need for extra treatment for the full results.

Factors That Influence the Number of Sessions

Several factors affect the effectiveness of laser hair removal and the number of sessions required:

1. Hair Color and Thickness
Dark, coarse hair: heals deeper in tissues and better absorbs laser energy, indicating that fewer treatment sessions are required to be effective.
Light or Fine Hair: You may need more sessions because the Laser works on pigmented areas, and light hair has less pigment.

2. Skin Type
Advanced Technologies such as 2D Laser used at Ojas Skin Care are appropriate for skin of all types. However, darker-skinned people will need more sessions to ensure safety and proper results without any issues.

3. Hormonal Conditions
Conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or other hormonal imbalances can stimulate hair regrowth, necessitating more sessions and regular maintenance.

4. Treatment Area Size
Larger areas like the legs or back may require longer sessions but fewer overall appointments compared to smaller, hormonally driven areas like the face.

The Laser Hair Removal Process

1. Consultation and Patch Test:

When a client gets on at Ojas Skin Care, the first and obvious step of any treatment plan involves the evaluation of the skin, hair type, and medical history. A patch test is also carried out to confirm the excellent skin compatibility and safety of a particular dye product on the skin.

2. Pre-Treatment Guidelines:

It is recommended to shave, wax, pluck, or thread for at least three weeks before the laser treatment because these methods pull out the hair follicle from the root, which the Laser then uses to gain traction.

Shaving the treatment area 24 – 48 hours before the session is essential to allow the Laser to target the hair follicle beneath the skin.

3. During the Session:

The advanced 2D laser technology minimizes discomfort and also shortens the duration of the treatment.

When the Laser targets the follicle area, it is expected to experience mild tingling in your skin.

4. Post-Treatment Care:

To keep the skin smooth, remember to hydrate the skin.
Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on treated areas to prevent irritation.

When Will You See the Results?

Although it depends on other factors, almost all clients experience slowed hair growth and reduced hair density to a certain extent after just one or two sessions. The results are observable soon after the recommended session of the treatment regime, and with sustaining touch-up sessions, you will see a lasting silky feel.
