The number of sessions depends on the treatment area, hair color and density, skin type, and individual response. The 755 nm wavelength is generally suited to lighter skin tones and finer hair, while the 1064 nm wavelength penetrates more deeply and is commonly selected for darker skin tones by qualified practitioners.
Treatment steps
- The practitioner assesses the patient’s skin tone, hair type, and treatment area.
- The treatment area should be shaved and free from creams, perfumes, or deodorant as instructed.
- Laser settings and wavelength are selected for the individual patient.
- Protective eyewear is worn throughout the procedure.
- The practitioner passes the laser handpiece over the treatment area while integrated cooling enhances comfort.
- Mild temporary redness or warmth may occur. Patients should follow aftercare instructions, including sun avoidance and sunscreen use.
Session duration
- Treatment time varies by area: small areas may take just a few minutes, while larger areas require longer.
- Sessions are usually scheduled at regular intervals based on the hair-growth cycle and the practitioner’s treatment plan.
