How many treatments are there before Laser Hair Removal is completed?

The Greenwich Medical Staff - Monday, May 10, 2010
Laser Hair Removal is proven to be effective against hair that has pigment.  Thus, the darker and thicker the hair the better the result and quicker.  Hair is destroyed by the laser by the attraction to the pigment with the hair follicle and internal shaft.  

Treatments are variable based on the skin and hair color.  The energy may be programmed differently to achieve the best overall safe results.  Overall, six treatments  is average.

Why is it that IPL treatments have to be 3-6 weeks apart?

The Greenwich Medical Staff - Friday, April 23, 2010
The minimum amount of time between IPL treatments is usually 3 weeks.  This allows "damaged pigmented" lesions to absorb completely.  Initially the sunspots turn darker because of the heat generated from the laser.  The body sees this damaged, darkened pigment as debris and needs to be removed.  This removal process can fully take up to 3 weeks.

Would Laser Hair Removal help with ingrown hairs?

The Greenwich Medical Staff - Friday, April 23, 2010
Yes, the best overall treatment for ingrown hairs is laser hair removal.  The laser targets the color of the hair follicle and internal shaft and heats it up to a hot enough temperature to destroy the cells feeding the follicle.  This will make the hair weaker and finer with each treatment until it removed permanently.
