How often should laser hair removal be performed?

Laser hair removal is becoming an increasingly popular method for achieving long-lasting hair reduction. Many people choose this method to enjoy smoother, hair-free skin without the need for frequent shaving or hair removal. However, the question often arises, "How often should I have laser hair removal to permanently reduce my hair?"

To determine the optimal frequency for laser hair removal, it is extremely important to understand the hair growth cycle. They go through three main phases:

Anagen - a phase of active growth.
Catagen - a transitional phase of reverse development, the hair slightly thins.
Telogen - resting phase.

After the telogen phase passes, the anagen phase begins again.

It is the anagen phase that is susceptible to laser hair removal. Hair in the catagen or telogen phase cannot be affected by laser hair removal. Since not all hairs are in the anagen phase at the same time, several treatments are needed to cover all hair follicles.

The rate of hair growth varies depending on its location on the body.

For the face, laser hair removal should be performed every 30-40 days. This covers the areas: upper lip, chin, neck, nape, cheekbones, sideburns, eyebrows.

For the torso, laser hair removal should be performed at 45-60 days. The torso covers the areas: arms, armpits, back, waist, folds, abdomen, general bikini, buttocks.

The longest interval is for laser hair removal of the leg area - there the procedure is repeated every 60-90 days. This area covers the thighs and shins.
