Laser hair removal - how many sessions a man need?

Laser hair removal – how many sessions a man need? Laser is one of the safest, fastest and most effective ways of removing unwanted facial and body hair for men. But what does the treatment exactly involve? How fast the results are? And how many sessions a man need? Well, first it’s important to understand that no one can guarantee a specific number of treatments that will be sufficient; as each person may respond differently to treatment. And what’s more even different parts of your body can react slower or faster to treatment. But in general based in Cynosure’s research they recommended a minimum of 6-9 sessions, with potentially some top up sessions needed later on.

How laser hair removal work?

Laser works by emitting a concentrated beam of light. This light turns into heat and designed to destroy your hair follicles. For heat to reach your hair’s root, the treatment relies on the pigment ( colour in your hair) to attract the heat into to the follicles. As a result instantly enabling future hair growth. Which all sounds great. But we are not done there.

In order for laser to work, your hair follicles have to be at a specific growth stage, which they aren’t always are at the same time. So for the laser to capture all the follicles the treatment would have to be repeated at regular intervals for a period of time.
