IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL DEFINITIVE?



To all intents and purposes, yes it is, for the vast majority of us.
The skin has active and inactive follicles and a hair removal session eliminates the active ones destroying them permanently. When a hair follicle is killed, it cannot grow back.
We have many hair follicles, any of which can become active at a later time through hormonal changes. Once a treatment is completed, should inactive follicles become active through hormonal changes, further sessions may be required. These cases are relatively rare. Hormone replacement therapy can play its part to reduce this possibility. So, whilst the results cannot be guaranteed, for the great majority of us, the results gained are definitive and permanent.

How many sessions are needed?

We have seen very good results after 4 sessions, with some needing upwards of 7 or 8, on the body. The face is a little more complex, with only a small amount of hair in the active growth stage at any one time. This area normally takes at least 8 sessions, usually more. The exact number of sessions needed depends on the type of hair, treatment area, skin type and the specific needs of each patient.
