The experience of pain during laser hair removal can vary from person to person, but generally, it is considered to be less painful than other hair removal methods like waxing. Most people describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against the skin or a stinging, burning feeling. The level of discomfort can also depend on the body part being treated, as some areas are more sensitive than others.

Laser hair removal is a long-lasting hair reduction method. While it’s not always completely permanent, many people experience a significant reduction in hair growth that can last for several years. Once you complete the initial course of treatment, which typically involves multiple sessions, you may not see regrowth for a long time. On the body, laser hair removal can sometimes provide permanent results, but it’s more common to see a prolonged reduction in hair growth. Maintenance treatments might be needed to keep the area hair-free over the long term.

Laser hair removal works by using concentrated light energy to target the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment and transformed into heat, which damages the follicle, inhibiting or delaying future hair growth. This process is known as selective photothermolysis. It’s most effective on people with a high contrast between their hair color and skin tone, such as those with dark hair and light skin, because the laser can more easily target the melanin in the hair.

Yes, multiple treatments are typically required for laser hair removal to be effective. This is because hair grows in different stages, and the laser is most effective at targeting the hair during the growth phase (anagen phase). Since not all hairs are in the same stage at the same time, several sessions are needed to target the hairs as they enter the growth phase. Most people need anywhere from 3 to 8 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Maintenance sessions may also be needed once or twice a year after the initial set of treatments.
