Laser Hair Removal is a completely permanent procedure. Once you undergo laser treatment, the hair in that area will not grow back. However, some factors do impact the effectiveness and should be kept in mind:

• – Skin Color: Effectiveness of the procedure depends on the absorption of light and heat by the melanin in the hair follicle (rather than melanin in the skin). This being the case, dark hairs in light-skinned people are the easiest to remove. The melanin in darker skin absorbs some of the light before it gets to the hair follicle. Additionally, blond, gray, and white hairs don’t absorb much heat.
• – Number of Sessions: Since hair growth is cyclical – only about a third of your hairs are actively growing at all times – and light-based hair removal only works when the hair is actively growing, you will need multiple treatments (five-to-seven) spaced six-to-eight weeks apart to completely eliminate all unwanted hair. Our aesthetic physicians will help you ascertain your particular hair-growth cycle and the number and duration of the appointments necessary to achieve your hair-removal goals.
