Thinning versus totally bare

Hair Removal Methods Laser hair removal
#1

Hello,

I just started a laser hair removal package on a large area. I hope to have all hair removed on most of the area, but just want the hair thinned down in one specific area. What is a good way to accomplish this? Perhaps I should just have the technician skip that area for some of the sessions in the package?

thanks,
dude

my treatment history:
I’ve had about 8 sessions on full leg, arms, abs, chest using Palomar Starlux 500 (IPL). I just recently started another set of packages at a different clinic which uses LightSheer (laser).

In my practice if a client wants an area thinned out rather than cleared I would do the treatment and suggest they wait for the regrowth to determine if they want further reduction.

If further treatments are required I would treat again and have the client wait for the regrowth and again determine if the reduction was adequate.

If you are looking for a very specific pattern of growth you may need to look to electrolysis to accomplish that.
