How long is the laser hair removal cycle?

Have you been called a "manly man" by your bestie because of your excessive armpit hair? Are you afraid to wear beautiful sleeveless clothes in the summer because of too much armpit hair? In fact, excessive hair does seriously affect the lives of women, and using depilatory creams can easily cause allergies and the hair will grow again. So many people want to use laser hair removal to completely get rid of hair troubles.

It should be pointed out that although laser hair removal can allow you to say goodbye to hair troubles, it requires a cycle. Only by persisting in completing this cycle can you say goodbye to annoying hair. So, how long is the specific laser hair removal cycle? How many times do you need to do it?

The hair growth cycle can be divided into three phases: growth phase, transition phase, and resting phase. Laser hair removal mainly targets hair in the growth phase to destroy hair follicles to achieve the hair removal effect. When the hair is in the growth phase, its follicles are fully developed and contain black pigment that determines the hair color. At this time, if a long-pulse laser with a specific wavelength is used for irradiation, the melanin can be destroyed, achieving the purpose of hair removal due to follicle atrophy. But generally speaking, the human body's hair state coexists in three growth cycles. Beijing laser beauty experts suggest that in order to achieve the effect of permanent hair removal, more than 3 to 5 treatments are required to completely destroy the growing hair and achieve the best hair removal effect.

So how long do these treatments take? Since hair in different parts of the body has different growth cycles, the time interval between each laser hair removal treatment is also different. For example, the resting period of hair on the head is relatively short, with an interval of about one month; the resting period of hair on the trunk and limbs is relatively long, with an interval of about two months. Generally speaking, a 4-8 week interval is required between each course of laser hair removal treatment, and the next laser hair removal treatment can only be performed after new hair has grown out.

This means that the question of how long the laser hair removal cycle generally lasts varies according to the hair characteristics of each individual. Therefore, if you want to undergo laser hair removal, you might as well seek specific information from professionals and see how long the laser hair removal cycle will take according to their introduction.
