How often should laser hair removal be performed?

Laser hair removal works by applying laser technology to deliver specific wavelengths of laser energy to hair follicles, heating them and damaging their growth capability, thereby achieving a long-lasting reduction of hair. The general reference price for laser hair removal ranges from 500 to 3000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement can usually be seen after 1 to 3 months. Laser hair removal is typically performed once every 1 to 2 months, although the exact frequency may vary. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.

The time required to see results from laser hair removal varies due to individual differences, but effects generally begin to appear within a few weeks after the first treatment. As the treatment sessions progress, the results will gradually improve. After completing the full course of treatment, most patients can achieve long-term or even permanent hair reduction. A complete treatment plan may consist of multiple sessions, with each session typically spaced 1 to 2 months apart, depending on the individual's condition as determined by a physician.

Therefore, laser hair removal is usually performed once every 1 to 2 months. Laser hair removal works better on dark hair because the high melanin content in dark hair absorbs laser energy more effectively. Laser hair removal is most effective on hair in the active growth phase; therefore, it is best performed during the hair's growth phase and is suitable for individuals whose skin is intact without any wounds, infection, inflammation, or other abnormalities.

Laser hair removal is a relatively safe and effective cosmetic procedure. However, before deciding to undergo treatment, it is important to fully understand your own condition and proceed under the guidance of a qualified physician.
