What results to expect from laser hair removal
As a responsible clinic we feel it is important to be honest with our clients and explain every aspect of treatment. This is so you are fully informed and know what results you can expect from laser hair removal. It is important to know that laser hair removal offers a permanent reduction in hair growth. But it does not guarantee 100% permanent hair removal in every hair follicle in a given area.
However results are nothing short of amazing. The majority of people will receive anything from 80%+ reduction in hair growth. The hairs that remain will be soft, baby like hairs. These hairs would be targeted on subsequent top up treatments to ensure results are maintained. Hair free periods would typically lasts 5-6 months before these finer hairs would need to be maintained.
How many sessions will I realistically need? The truth.
We don’t believe in asking you to buy into the, ‘after 6 sessions you’ll never have a blade of hair anywhere on your body for the rest of your life’ dream. That would be totally unfair and it is important that you know the good, bad and real results that can be achieved with laser. Throughout our many years of performing laser treatment, we have never treated anyone who did not need some form of maintenance or top up treatments in the area after their initial 6 sessions.
To receive 100% permanent hair removal from every follicle in the treated area would be impossible even when using medical grade lasers.
The truth is that it is extremely effective at dramatically removing and reducing hair but it is not a miracle 6 session cure. Unfortunately this does not exist. The majority of people will need between 6-8+ sessions to achieve approx 80%+ reduction in hair in a given area and will need top-up or maintenance 2-3 times a year. This in a very generalised guide and does change due to factors such as hormonal conditions, darker skin types, genetics etc. Clients who may have underlying issues will need more sessions and more top up or maintenance sessions will be required to maintain your reduction.
How often we recommend having top up treatments.
Top up sessions are needed a couple of times a year to maintain the reduction in you have achieved. You will notice some very fine hairs returning when you begin to leave longer gaps in-between sessions, this is completely normal. These finer hair are what we would be treating on top up treatments.
When you have completed a course and are happy with results we begin to leave longer gaps between each session. This allows follicles to fill with finer hairs that are left after treatment. These fine hairs where either not in the correct stage of growth at the time of treatment or did not reach the temperature necessary. We may have missed some growth cycles along the way so by leaving long gaps we will pick these up. When adequate time is given for them to regenerate we will target these hairs. Hairs left should be sporadic, fine and light.
