Patchy Results After Multiple Laser Hair Removal Sessions

Hair Removal Methods Laser hair removal

Hello

I’ve been undergoing laser hair removal for several months now, but I’m noticing uneven results. Some areas are becoming significantly thinner, while others still have noticeable hair growth. I expected some reduction, but the patchiness makes me wonder if something is off with the treatment. Has anyone else experienced this? :thinking:

I’ve been consistent with my sessions, following the recommended schedule, and my skin and hair type were deemed suitable for laser by the clinic. :upside_down_face: However, certain spots don’t seem to respond as well, even though they receive the same treatment. Could it be an issue with the laser settings, hair growth cycles, or something else? :thinking: Checked Laser hair removal - Hairtell hair removal forum by Andrea James Power Apps Training guide related to this and found it quite informative.

I’d appreciate any advice from those who have been through the process. Should I request an adjustment in settings, or is this normal? :thinking:

Thank you !!! :slightly_smiling_face:

Laser hair removal is unpredictable. Usually patchiness is caused by areas that were unintentionally missed during a treatment. If you are realistic about expectations you must embrace the following: laser is not (and never will be) 100% effective. Laser hair removal IS permanent hair reduction (keyword), NOT permanent hair removal. At some point efficacy falls off and does not improve with additional treatments.

To minimise unintentionally missed patches, therapists must be very thorough and this takes time even when super powerful LHR machines with high output powers are used. Thus this takes time, not a quick procedure.
Clients achieve greater permanent hair reduction when their initial, virgin hair is still super coarse, dense & dark. LHR become less effective and fails after successive treatment sessions.
That is the reason why it is very important to find the right therapists with right machines/devices right from the start.
