To answer this question, we will need to dig a little deeper into how the laser treatment process works. Dr. Nicolas Batty stated that the process works by targeting the laser light into the hair follicle in its active growth stage and destroying the root. It is important to underline that the laser beam will only work on hair follicles in the active stage of hair growth. If you are unacquainted with hair growth stages, we will summarize the process for you. In fact, there are three stages of hair growth. During the first stage, your hair is actively growing. In the second, your hair is in the temporary phase where it is no longer rising and instead is shedding from the hair follicle base. In the last stage, your hair is in the resting stage and will fall out. The cycle repeats this way over and over unless disrupted. Because each hair follicle in your body can be at a different stage of growth, and we can only target the hair follicles in the “active” stage of development, most people will need at least four and up to 8 treatments. This varies on skin types, hair types, and how compliant are you with the sessions. The number of treatments you will need will depend largely on how consistently you are receiving laser hair removal treatments. Contact us at MCNYC The Medical Clinic NYC, Dr. Nicolas Batty at info@icrmc.org and book your consultation at www.icrmc.org.
