There are a number of factors that can affect the success of a series of hair removal treatments, but generally, after each treatment, you'll see a noticeable, permanent reduction in the number of hairs that regrow in the treatment area. Typically, it will require 4 - 6 treatments or more to permanently reduce the number of regrowing hairs by more than 80%, six months after the last treatment. Your physician or spa professional will advise you.
The short answer is no. Once the hair follicle is damaged, it cannot grow new hair. However, there are invariably a few hair follicles that manage to partially escape the laser during each treatment. Some of these follicles may be only stunned and will need to be retreated.
No. Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ requires no "down time" or recovery time. You can have a treatment and return to work or school immediately.
Most people find Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ very comfortable. While pain tolerance is subjective, many patients often describe the sensation as soothing as a "hot stone massage." If you find it otherwise, talk with your doctor or laser technician.
