The answer depends on a few things.
What type of hair color you have? What type of laser will be used? How much experience does the nurse or physician doing the treatment have?
If you are a good candidate for laser hair removal (dark coarse hair), are being treated by an experienced practitioner and they are using the correct laser for your skin type, it should not take more than 8 treatments to achieve between 70% and 95% permanent hair reduction. In most cases, we achieve these percentages within 5 laser hair removal treatments, but some patients take longer.
