How often should I have laser hair removal?

If you are thinking of going ahead with a course of laser hair removal, it is important to consider the spacing of your bookings to ensure the treatment is as effective as possible. If you leave too long or too short a gap between appointments, you may find the the treatment is less effective than if the treatments are spaced correctly.

Laser hair removal works by damaging hair roots and bulbs when they are in the Anagen phase of growth. Hair that is in the Catagen or Telogen phase of growth will not normally be effected by the laser treatment. For most people, roughly 10-15% of the hair in any particular area will be at the Anagen phase at any time.

Face and body appointments are spaced differently

As hair on the face tends to grow more quickly than hair on the body, laser hair removal appointments for the face usually start out spaced every 4 weeks and treatments for the body start out spaced every 6 weeks. As you progress through your course you should find that you have less hair growth and the hair that does grow appears more slowly so after your 4th treatment the laser therapist will discuss your results with you and possibly recommend spacing remaining facial appointments 4-6 weeks apart and body appointments 6-8 weeks apart.

Good responders to laser hair removal should see a roughly 10-15% reduction in hair per treatment (hair in the Anagen phase treated on each visit). Most people will go for 6 to 8 treatments per area, possibly more for more resistant areas such as the face or private area. This means that a course of treatments will take anything from 6 to 9 months or more.

Stick to your appointment schedule if possible

Holidays, business trips and busy periods at work can all interfere with your course proceeding as intended. If you can, ensure that you space your treatments correctly and look forward to a smoother, hair free future.

I’ve had a brilliant experience so far at Mayfair Aesthetics. The reception team have been so helpful and friendly. I had a hugely thorough consultation and patch test with Ruta. I’ve had this in other organisations where I now realise this has been rushed. This felt the opposite with time put aside and I felt a level of care throughout the consultation. It was honest, kind and informative. I’ve had my first session of laser with Kanada who was excellent. I felt instantly comfortable and at ease. She checked in throughout that I was comfortable. I was able to ask any questions and she gave me great advice. Very happy with my choice to go to Mayfair Aesthetics.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose Mayfair Aesthetic for my laser hair removal treatment! From the very beginning, everything has been exceptional, and the results speak for themselves. I’m thrilled with the progress and genuinely excited about the decision I made to undergo this treatment with them. The entire team at Mayfair Aesthetic is amazing. Sylvia, in particular, has been wonderful throughout my sessions. She is not only highly professional but also incredibly kind and caring. Every time I visit, she ensures that I am fully comfortable, explaining each step of the process in detail. It's always a pleasure to spend time with her during the treatments, as we chat about a variety of topics, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. Matthew, the manager, has also been fantastic. Although I haven't met him in person, his support has been invaluable. He is always accommodating when it comes to scheduling, and he goes out of his way to find the best appointment slots for me, which I truly appreciate. I visit the Hammersmith clinic, which is ideally located on the main high road and easily accessible. The clinic is always spotless and impeccably maintained, which further reassures me that I’m in the best hands. Overall, I highly recommend Mayfair Aesthetic to anyone considering laser hair removal. The team is top-notch, the clinic is in a great location, and the results are outstanding!

Came in for a consultation and they really walked me through the whole process. They were very honest when they answered all of my questions. I’ve been to other places for laser before but this is my favorite so far

I have had 3 Dermapen and NIR treatments with Iwona and the results speak for themselves. There was a noticeable reduction in fine lines and hyperpigmentation and my skin firmness and texture has significantly improved. This is my first aesthetic experience and was very nervous during my consultation appointment. Iwona was amazing, she was professional and patient, explaining in detail the treatment process and outcomes, plus answering all my questions satisfactory. During my first appointment she was careful to explain each step and what she is using. I felt comfortable knowing that I was in good hands. I also received adequate after care advice. The clinic was clean and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and always ready to assist. My safety was a high priority evident by the pre-treatment questionnaire prior to each visit, with a follow up phone call if there was anything to clarify. Overall, I am very happy with Mayfair Aesthetics Angel and would recommend them. Thanks!!
