Question 1

How many treatments do I need?

Accepted Answer

As laser hair removal works with the different stages of hair growth, it is important to target the hair when it is in its anagen phase or the growing phase.

When the hair is in this phase during a laser treatment, the hair bulb is permanently killed, rather than just weakened. Therefore it is important to make sure you have a treatment on a regular interval of every 4-7 weeks, area dependant.

Most people will need between 8-10 treatments to see a maximum result, although this can vary from area to area, and person to person. Results can be seen after the first treatment.

Question 2

Is laser hair removal painful?

Accepted Answer

Although pain is relative to all people, depending on pain threshold, hair type and thickness, the Diode laser hair removal, is mostly a comfortable feeling, no more painful than your standard waxing experience, probably less painful due to the fact that the diode laser machine uses a cool freeze technology that helps to cool down the area being treated and make it as painless as possible.

The laser pulses are very quick, which enables the treatment of a half leg to last for no more than 15min, underarm 5 min.
