Laser hair removal treatments use light energy to permanently damage or destroy hair follicles—usually on the legs, back, underarms, or face—with the goal of preventing hair from growing back. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says laser hair removal effectively reduces the amount of hair you have by about 70%. While it may not remove it forever, the hair that grows back is usually much finer and less noticeable. 

Because everyone is different, there’s no set rule on how many sessions you’ll need and when you’ll need them. Generally, people have six to eight laser hair removal treatments staggered every four to eight weeks to see results, plus an annual maintenance session. 

Different body parts require different schedules, too. “At our practice, we recommend four to six weeks in between laser hair removal treatments for the face and then six to eight weeks for anywhere else on the body. This is because the hair growth cycles on different parts of the body vary.

It’s smart to start a series of treatments in the late fall or early winter to have smoother skin by summer.
