Generally, laser treatments are administered at 6-8 week intervals, depending upon the area of the body to be treated.

Usually 4-6 treatments are required to remove the hair in most areas. After 4-6 treatments, maintenance treatments are always required, but the intervals can be quite long.

A person may not have to come in for another treatment after an initial treatment for 3-6 months or longer, and this interval generally becomes longer and longer with each treatment.

Eventually people may not come in for touch of treatments for many years. There are many different types of hair removal lasers, all with slightly different wavelengths of light and methods of cooling the surface of the skin to protect it, while the laser energy penetrates to the deeper layers of the skin and heats the follicle.
