Lasers remove hair by destroying the blood supply to the hair follicle. When the procedure is performed correctly, all of the hair follicles with a blood supply will be destroyed during the treatment. The reason hair removal requires multiple treatments is because the hair grows in cycles. You have much more hair lying dormant under the skin than is actually growing at any given time. The hairs typically change cycles about every 6 weeks. Therefore treatments must be performed about 6 weeks apart. This can vary slightly depending on the area of the body. Women usually require 3 to 6 treatments while men often require more. If someone tells you they can remove the hair in less than 3 or 6 treatments they are simply not being honest. It is very important to adhere closely to your laser schedule. Failure to follow your schedule will result in more treatments session than normal.
