Considered the most effective treatment for removing unwanted hair in all areas of the body, Laser Hair Removal provides excellent results for all. The laser technology uses intense pulses of light to target the hair as deep as the follicle to reduce the visibility of the hair upon regrowth.

The procedure is highly effective for all hair types and offers long-lasting results, making it a popular alternative to traditional methods such as tweezing, waxing and shaving. Laser treatment can even provide permanent results for those who want to totally remove hair in even the most stubborn areas.

But how long does laser hair removal last, and how many treatments will I need to achieve the results I want?

In this blog, the treatment specialists at our clinic in Epping will explore the different factors that will impact your hair removal results, and how long you can expect your results to last.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works by directing powerful light and heat energy at the hair follicle to destroy the hair at its root. The hair then grows back slower and lighter, reducing with every session. Should you require permanent results, this can be achieved in 6-10 sessions, preventing regrowth once and for all.

Our patients compare the feeling of the treatment to that of a rubber band lightly snapping on the surface of the skin. Most people do not say that the procedure is painful, however, local anaesthetic is available at your request.

What will impact the results of my treatment?

Although the laser used at our clinic in Essex provides industry-leading treatment and results, everyone is different, and treatment results will vary from person to person. Some of the factors that will impact results include the thickness of hair, the rate at which your hair grows back, and the level of pigment in your hair.

It used to be common that this treatment would work best on those with light skin and dark hair; however, this is no longer the case due to advancements in laser technology. Laser hair removal is now suitable for all skin and hair types when completed with the latest technology. Our clinic exclusively uses the Soprano Titanium for all laser hair removal treatments to give our clients their desired experience and results.

How long can I expect my hair removal results to last?

Unlike traditional methods like tweezing, shaving and waxing, which will relieve you of unwanted hair for a week or so, results from a single session of laser hair removal can last up to 4-8 weeks before needing a top-up. Different areas of hair do grow faster than others, but you can expect this as an average for your first session.

With each session, you will notice that the hair grows back much lighter and in less volume than previously. With repeat sessions, you can expect your hair to be removed permanently or at least close to this eventually.

A single session of laser hair removal is not a permanent solution, however, a course of 6-8 sessions can provide permanent results for most people. Speak to one of our specialists about your hair removal goals, and they can advise on the most effective treatment for your needs.
