How often do clients typically return for laser hair removal sessions?

Clients typically return for laser hair removal sessions every 4 to 8 weeks due to the hair growth cycle. Hair goes through phases: anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase when the hair is actively growing and attached to the hair follicle.

The recommended interval of 4 to 8 weeks allows for the optimal targeting of hair that has entered the anagen phase. This timing helps ensure that as many hairs as possible are effectively treated during each session.

Intervals shorter than 4 weeks may not be beneficial because many hairs would still be in the resting phase and not visible, reducing the effectiveness of the treatment. On the other hand, intervals longer than 8 weeks might lead to additional hair regrowth, which could require more treatments to achieve the desired results. Therefore, the 4 to 8-week interval aligns with the biological processes of hair growth and maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment.
