How many laser hair removal treatment will I need?

Tired of shaving every other day, only for the stubble to come back with a vengeance? Or maybe you’ve tried waxing, only to deal with ingrown hairs and irritated skin? And now, you’re wondering: Is laser hair removal the answer to all the unwanted hair? If so, how many laser hair removal treatment will I need to be hair free? Whether you’re dealing with hormonal hair growth, thick facial fuzz, or just want smoother legs without the constant upkeep, this is one of the first (and smartest) questions to ask.

Why you need multiple laser hair removal treatments?

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles while they’re in their active growth phase, known as the anagen phase. But here’s the catch: not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time. In fact, only 15–20% of your hair is actively growing at any one session.

That’s why laser hair removal is a process and not a one time miracle. Although many new patients expect to be done after only a single session.

How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?

On average, most people need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to see optimal results.

But here’s where it gets personal

  • If you have hormonal imbalances, like PCOS, you might need maintenance sessions later down the line to stay smooth.
  • If your hair is dense, coarse, or dark, your results may come quicker than someone with finer, lighter hair.
  • If you’ve waxed recently, you may need to wait a bit longer for enough growth to allow the laser to effectively find and target the follicles.

Every body is different. And not only may you see faster results than your friend for example. But you may even notice that different parts of your body may respond at difference speed. And that is totally normal.

What to expect from your laser hair removal journey?

Think of laser hair removal like training your body to forget how to grow hair in certain places. The more consistent and well-timed your sessions are, the better your long-term results.

Here’s a general treatment timeline:

  • Sessions 1–3: You’ll see reduced regrowth and finer hairs.
  • Sessions 4–6: Hair will grow back slower, patchier and some areas may stop completely.
  • Sessions 7–8 (if needed): Stubborn or hormonally driven hair gets targeted.
  • Maintenance: 1–3 times a year, especially for areas influenced by hormones like the face or jawline.

It also important to emphasise that the results aren’t just about the number of sessions. They’re about using the right laser, at the right settings, by an experienced specialist who understands your skin type, hair type, and goals.
