Hi guys,
I’m about to start laser on my legs and wanted to know something…
I’ve read that laser might not be working for a small percentage of people. But when do these people find out? Is it after a patch test (if the hair doesnt fall out) or after like 20 sessions?
In short term, if you’re not seeing good shedding 2-3 weeks after each treatment, then it’s a sign that you’re being under treated. But if you don’t start seeing significant reduction after 4 treatments, then you can tell that laser isn’t working on you (again sign of improper settings.) Laser on legs doesn’t require 20 treatments. 6-8 treatments max!!
No body hair should take more than 8 laser treatments. If you have hair left after 8 treatments then it’s the best reduction you could have achieved with laser assuming all of your treatments were aggressive as possible.
I stand behind what fenix wrote above 100%.
I would also like to add that treatments on body need to be spaced 6-8 weeks apart to achieve the best results in 6-8 treatments.
When the hair sheds after 2 -3 weeks, it must be evenly shed, rather than bold patch here and there and tufts of hair in between. That would indicate incorrect spacing of the shots.
Good luck!
