Laser hair removal is a great opportunity to leave skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and of course, free of hair. The question many patients are often left wondering is how often a laser hair removal appointment should be scheduled for the best results. Curious about laser removal, the benefits, and how long to wait between each appointment? Read on to find out! At The Studio Med Spa, we offer a variety of rejuvenating aesthetic treatments to leave you looking and feeling your absolute best!

How is Laser Hair Removal Done? 

Laser hair removal is done to reduce the appearance of hair in a variety of areas, such as the upper lip, armpits, legs, chin, bikini line, back, chest, and other parts of the body where a person may have unwanted hair. Laser hair removal uses a variety of lasers or intense pulsed light (IPL) systems in order to target hair follicles and remove hair. Concentrated light is targeted into the follicles and is absorbed by the pigment in these follicles, which destroys the hair. Laser hair removal also helps to dramatically reduce the regrowth of hair. 

What are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal? 

There are a few benefits to laser hair removal that makes it a popular hair removal method. Many people of all ages often turn to laser hair removal, and for good reason including an easy preparation process. At The Studio Med Spa, we always consult with new and returning patients when it comes to their hair removal goals in order to create an individualized plan. We like to highlight some of the benefits that come with the laser hair removal treatment, such as: 

Convenience 

Laser hair removal sessions can last anywhere between minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. However, in comparison to regular shaving and waxing, the results of laser hair removal can last for much longer. This means being able to go for longer periods of time without having to worry about shaving or plucking or waxing! The convenience of laser hair removal is something that many people particularly benefit from. 

Smoother Skin 

By reducing hair growth, laser hair removal results in smoother skin. So not only do patients have to deal with less stubborn hair in unwanted areas, but they are also enjoying smooth and refreshed skin. This can be a great confidence booster for any person. Not to mention, it can make wearing certain types of clothes much more enjoyable, without having to worry about any unwanted hair showing through!

Less Discomfort 

Gone are the days of nicking yourself with a razor or having to go through the pain of wax. Laser hair removal is considered one of the most painless ways to remove hair. Many patients describe it as a rubber band snapping against the skin- a momentary discomfort that is still very much tolerable. With minimal side effects that usually clear up within a day or two, laser hair removal is a great option if you are tired of painful hair removal with plucking or waxing!

How Often Should I Schedule Laser Hair Removal for the Best Results? 

Are you considering laser hair removal? Unsure of what the right scheduling is in order to ensure the best results for your skin? Some providers may encourage anywhere between 4 to 6 or 6 to 8 laser removal sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, in order to properly catch each hair follicle in its growth phase. Many patients also choose maintenance treatments once every 6-12 months after their hair removal goals have been met. This is in order to deal with the appearance of Vellus hair (fine, light colored hair also known as peach fuzz). 

Every person has unique needs when it comes to hair removal. At The Studio Med Spa, we work with every new and returning patient that comes to our clinic in order to set up an agreeable hair removable plan that meets their needs.
