Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. After a full series, most patients see a significant, lasting drop in hair growth, though occasional maintenance sessions may be needed since hormones and other factors can reactivate some follicles.
Most patients need 6–8 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser only targets follicles in the active growth phase — which is why several sessions are required to catch each hair at the right time.
What affects your results:
- Hair color and thickness (darker, coarser hair responds well).
- The treatment area and your hormones.
- Consistency — spacing sessions correctly matters.
At MD Laser & Cosmetics, treatments use advanced platforms that can be safely tailored to a range of skin tones, with settings selected by our physician-led team.
