How many armpits laser sessions will I need?
Our underarms laser hair removal package includes six sessions.
Each must be six weeks apart. This is because of
the hair growth cycle. Laser treatments only work on hair that is actively growing.
The growth phase of the hair cycle is called anagen. It is the only time the hair and follicle connect. This allows the energy to pass from the former to the latter.
Since 20% of your hair is in the anagen phase, one session can target 20% of hair. Each successive session will treat an additional 20%.
The underarms are not hormonal area. However, patients may still need additional sessions.
