Is nine weeks too long of an interval between a third and fourth treatment? The treatment area is upper legs and bikini line. At my last session, the practitioner told me I should come back as soon as I see regrowth because early hair growth has the most pigment. I wasn’t sure I could believe the practitioner based on what I’ve read on these forums (it’s better to wait between 8-12 weeks between treatments; the more mature the hair, the more pigment it has), so I’ve yet to go back after nine weeks. But now I wonder if I missed the ideal hair growth cycle for treatments. I think I started seeing considerable regrowth at around week five. If new hair has been growing for 3 to 4 weeks, will it be a waste of money to go in for a treatment? Thank you in advance.
You are correct and they are not. As you can probably tell yourself, the early hairs you see are lighter when they just come in. There is not reason to go in until you have enough hair, with pigment. You can even wait longer than 12 weeks. For that area, 12 weeks is just fine, no reason to go in earlier, especially if you don’t have much to treat. I had to wait 16 weeks on this area past treatment 3 when things really improve.
