Until now hair had to be treated during the growing phase (20%-30% depending on the area) Since growth cycles vary, approx. 6-10 treatments are usually necessary.
Skin is more sensitive in some areas of the body than in others and redness can occur as a side effect. It should disappear in a matter of hours but could potentially be as intense as sunburn lasting a few days.
It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks before the hair is actually shed.
A 2 to 3 week touch-up is neither safe nor effective. Some laser hair removal centers may offer a complementary touch-up at the 2 weeks marker, but this is not a safe practice. We space each laser hair removal treatment approximately 4 to 8 weeks apart depending on individual's hair density, hair growth cycle as well as the factors of hair growth. Laser hair removal done too soon is not only ineffective, it can also put the skin at risk for burning or scarring.
