How many treatments of laser hair removal will I need?

Typically, 5-6 treatments are needed to achieve a 80% permanent hair loss. Treatments are normally performed 6 weeks apart. Some areas, such as the back, might require more treatments to achieve full correction, and some individuals may require a yearly maintenance treatment as well.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

The truth is that laser hair removal is much less painful than waxing or electrolysis. While it’s not completely pain-free, most people describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band. If that sounds too painful for you, we offer topical numbing cream for a small fee.

What are the risks of laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is not safe for people with suntan or frequent sun exposure due to the risk of hyperpigmentation (brown spots) or hypopigmentation (white spots/scars). Here at Modern Dermatology of KY & Cosmetic Specialists, we recommend that you wear sunscreen and avoid sun exposure 4 weeks before your laser treatment and 4 weeks after your laser treatment.
