Are you considering permanent hair removal to put an end to the cumbersome sessions of shaving or waxing? And are you wondering how many laser sessions you should plan to achieve a definitive result?
It is important to know that it is impossible to answer such a question without knowing numerous factors that vary from person to person (age of the patient, targeted area for hair removal, pigmentation of the skin and hair, etc.) and without knowing if the person will adhere to the established protocols (time intervals between sessions, etc.).
In our clinics located in Luxembourg, the laser specialist, Dr. Brun, systematically conducts a thorough diagnosis before any laser treatment, allowing for an analysis of your skin and its phototype, your hair growth, and the duration of the hair growth cycle. These elements help to estimate the number of laser sessions that should be planned for permanent hair removal. Indeed, the laser sessions must be spaced throughout the entire duration of the hair growth cycle.
However, it is important to understand that certain parameters can transform fine hair into coarser hair, thus interfering with the estimation of the number of laser sessions required. For this reason, in cases of hormonal disorders, weight gain, menopause, or taking certain medications, it is crucial to refer to the laser specialist promptly.
The overall duration of the treatment takes into account the number of laser sessions and the required intervals between each session. Generally speaking, we can inform you that permanent hair removal for areas such as the lower legs, underarms, or bikini line will require fewer laser sessions compared to permanent hair removal of a facial area or thighs.
