Taking a break from the laser hair removal course – how to proceed?

Our masters always reiterate that in order to get the effect of laser hair removal it is very important to follow the schedule of visits,
recommended by the hair removal specialist.
The interval between laser hair removal treatments depends primarily on the type of laser and individual tendency to hair growth. At LaserVille laser hair removal salons, laser hair removal is performed with the MOTUS AX laser with sapphire tip.

Why do you need breaks between sessions and is it possible to remove hair in one session?

As you know, the laser effectively affects the hair that is found in the active growth phase (anagen stage). Usually, such hair on our body is only 30% to 40%. The rest of the hair is found in the sleeping or resting phase (telogen stage). There is also a transitional stage of hair growth, when hair growth is suspended and the hair papilla is not active (catagen stage). That is why it is very important to undergo the entire course of laser hair removal, which is from 6 to 8 sessions, depending on the individual propensity to hair growth (genetics, hormonal background). After all, it is important that during this time all your hair has gone through all phases – from the sleep phase to the phase of active growth.

Schedule of sessions for a course of laser hair removal?

So, experts advise to conduct a course of laser hair removal at intervals depending on the phase of hair growth. During the first visit to the LaserVille laser hair removal salon, the specialist will individually assess how the hair is exposed to the laser and set a date for your next visit. Typical average intervals for our clients are:

1. after the first treatment – repeat in 1 month;
2. after the second treatment – repeat after 1 month and 1 week;
3. the following – as prescribed by the specialist.

Over time, the hair in the laser hair removal area will appear less. And the intervals between sessions of laser hair removal will increase in time. And at the stage of completion, the intervals between sessions on average can be from one and a half months.

What factors affect the course interval?

1. The area to be treated (face and neck, bikini, arms, legs, etc.).
2. Skin and hair type.
3. Hormonal component of the body and heredity.

Forced break in laser hair removal.

If you have just started a course of laser hair removal and have had less than three sessions, and by the recommended date of the procedure hair has not yet had time to grow in the required volume, the break can be increased. But in some cases, the procedure will have to start again.
If you have already undergone more than three to four sessions of laser hair removal, then it can and should be restored at any time.

The number of manipulations can be increased, but starting the course from scratch is usually not necessary. What interval between laser hair removal will be set in this case – determined by a specialist.

What should you do during a forced break to keep the preliminary result?

1. Forget about wax or paste for shugaring. Removing hair in this way will damage active follicles and subsequently have to wait for their recovery, which will increase the number of laser hair removal treatments. Temporarily use shaving or remove hair with depilatory cream.
2. Perform general skin care.
3. Visit LaserVille laser hair removal salon at the earliest opportunity to consult with our specialists and restore your laser hair removal course.
