Hey, I’m new here and need some advice. I’d like to start doing laser hair removal. I need to do my full back, chest, abs and upper arms/shoulders. I’m fairly light skinned and the hair is dark. Does anybody know about how many sessions it would take to permanently remove all that hair and if I can do multiple areas at the same time. Also, can anybody recommend a good place to do it at in the Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond Washington area?
Thanks
I can’t help you with a recommendation, but you can certainly do several areas at once if you have a lot of money!
People are usually advised that between 6-8 treatments are needed, but I’m hearing that it turns out to be more than that, upwards toward 12. I’ve even heard that as much as 20 treatments are necessary. Be sure to go to a clinic that uses a true laser for your skin type. Alexandrites are very good lasers, with GentleLase being the tops.
You may have some hair left. It is doesn’t bother you, then great. If it does, you may need to switch over to electrolysis to deliver the final punch. The upper arms and shoulders can be troublesome for laser stimulated hair growth, meaning, laser can wake up more follicles to grow more hair. Additional laser treatments may help. If it doesn’t, then electrolysis will rid you of this new hair.
