How soon will I see my laser hair removal results?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment of the hair follicle. Once the follicle absorbs the laser energy, it damages the hair shaft. Once the targeted follicles are destroyed, it is difficult for new hair to regrow. The experts at Horizon Medical Center offer Harmony XL PRO laser technology so that patients can experience one of the quickest and safest hair removal techniques for their back, chest, face, armpits, forearms, legs, and bikini area. Patients will generally notice visible results in about 1 – 2 weeks following the first treatment as unwanted body hair will start shedding after the first session. However, laser hair removal results become more noticeable after each consecutive session. Most patients will likely need 6 – 8 treatments depending on the body part and target area.
Signs to know your laser hair removal is working
There are different reasons why individuals choose laser hair removal. It is a long-term answer, allowing patients to forgo waxing and shaving for more extended periods. If a few hair follicles grow back, they are usually thinner and easier to deal with at home. Other signs your laser removal treatments are working are:
- Hair follicles become lighter in texture
- Hair is slower to regrow
- It is easier to shave
- Skin is less irritated and has fewer ingrown hairs
- Hair free periods in between treatments become increasingly longer
Hair growth occurs in phases. While some hair follicles are growing, others remain dormant. Laser removal treatments are only effective with hair follicles in the growth phase. Since every patient is different, the number of sessions will vary by person. To allow for this normal hair growth cycle, you can plan on needing about 4 – 5 treatments, scheduled every 3 – 4 weeks for ideal results.
