Is laser hair reduction permanent?
Your genetics are an important factor in determining this outcome. While some patients require a full course procedure, others respond faster and require less treatments.
One of the most common misconceptions about laser hair removal is that the hair will never grow again after completing the hair removal procedure. The truth is the growth of new hair can still take place just not as full as before. Some medical conditions and medicine like Hypothyroid, Polycystic Ovarian syndrome can trigger the production of excess hormones causing continuous hair growth.
Do I need to continue maintenance treatment after my last laser hair removal treatment session?
Depending on your hormonal status and genetics, you may or may not require maintenance. Keep in mind that the maintenance procedure differs from one person to another and depends on the area treated.

Typically about 3-6 sessions are required per area treated. Note that only the hair that is actively growing is affected during the procedure and this is about 15-20% of hair in a particular area. So the following procedure should be in about 4 weeks after the initial procedure.
There is zero downtime after laser hair removal procedure! You can go about your normal routine immediately after the procedure.
