How often should you undergo freezing point hair removal?
Disease description:
Although I'm a woman, I have very heavy body hair. Because of this, I rarely wear skirts during summer. In the past, I used hair removal creams and waxing products. Recently, I'm considering going for permanent ice-point laser hair removal. I'd like to know how often I need to undergo maintenance sessions after using this method?

The interval between freezing point hair removal sessions is typically 1 to 2 months, varying depending on individual differences. This primarily depends on an individual's physical condition, hair growth cycle, and post-treatment recovery. Hair growth is cyclical, including the growth phase (anagen), regression phase (catagen), and resting phase (telogen). Freezing point hair removal mainly targets hair follicles in the growth phase. To achieve permanent hair reduction, multiple treatments are generally required, with 2 to 3 sessions usually sufficient. During the procedure, local tissues may sustain minor damage, making postoperative care crucial. It is recommended to undergo treatment at a reputable medical facility and to follow the doctor’s instructions for proper post-treatment care.
