Default How Many Treatments?

How many LHR treatments have most of you had?

My "package" consists of 4, but they said they do up to 6 that would be in the package.

I just had my 3rd one done last week, and so far, the results are AMAZING!

I have a feeling that I may need all 6 to be completely hair free though.

My laser technician told me that the number of treatments depend on the person, some people will only need 3-4 while others might need 6-8 to get permanent results. I would go for the 6 treatments just to be sure. Also remember that you might have to go back for "touch-up" sessions once a year or maybe less than that because you may get some slight hair regrowth as time progresses

Everyone is different. Are your hormones under control? If the answer is yes, then you will probably be looking at 6-8 treatments with touch-ups every 6 months or so. Remember that laser hair removal is not always "permanent" and as your hormones fluctuate you may find that you "regrow" hair in the same place or that a few years later most of it has grown back in. But, if you keep up your medications, diet, and remain in a constant hormone state your number of treatments and success will be much better.
