Can You Speed Up Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is an investment in yourself—and investments take time. If you want to achieve up to 80% permanent hair reduction, you'll need to stick to our recommended treatment plan.

The number of laser hair removal sessions you'll need all depends on a variety of factors, including the type of laser technology being used, the area being treated, the amount of hair you have, and the color and coarseness of your hair. In general, most clients require 8-10 laser hair removal treatments spaced six to eight weeks apart (and for the face, that's 10-12 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart) to achieve permanent hair reduction, but again—every patient's experience is different.

Laser hair removal is currently the only hair removal method that allows you to achieve permanent hair reduction. It's non-invasive, effective on nearly all skin types and tones, and can target large areas of hair. Laser hair removal eliminates the need to shave and wax—and it does so without compromising your busy lifestyle!

Can I Schedule Laser Hair Removal Sessions Closer Together?

It may seem like scheduling treatments closer together would speed up your results, but laser hair removal works best when sessions are timed around your hair's natural growth cycle. Your LaserAway clinician will recommend a treatment schedule based on the area being treated and your individual needs.

Why Do You Have to Wait Between Laser Hair Removal Sessions?

Laser hair removal is most effective when hair is in the active growth phase. Because not every hair is in this phase at the same time, multiple treatments are necessary. Spacing appointments appropriately gives additional hairs time to enter the active growth phase so they can be effectively targeted at your next session.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Do You Need?

Most clients require 8-10 laser hair removal treatments, although the exact number varies based on factors like the treatment area, hair density, hair color and coarseness, and your individual response to treatment. Facial areas may require additional sessions.

How Can I Get the Best Results From Laser Hair Removal?

Consistency is key. Stick to the treatment schedule recommended by your LaserAway clinician and follow your pre- and post-treatment instructions. Avoid waxing, tweezing, or other methods that remove hair from the root between sessions, since the laser needs the hair follicle intact to effectively target it.
