Question: I would like laser hair removal done on both my arms. How many sessions do you think this would take?
Answer: Laser hair removal for most areas of the body are going to take 6 to 8 treatments for adequate hair reduction. In younger patients, such as teenagers, this can be more of a life-long treatment where we perform 6 to 8 treatments, but they may need a touchup treatment every 6 to 12 months for adequate relief. We certainly never promise that all the hair in this area will be gone forever, but overall laser hair removal is extremely successful at reducing the number of hairs as well as the thickness and darkness of the hairs.
