What to Do When Laser Hair Removal Takes More Than 8 Sessions

What to Do When Laser Hair Removal Takes More Than 8 Sessions

Some people find that eight laser sessions aren’t enough to achieve the results they’re looking for, and that’s completely normal

The laser targets melanin in hair follicles when they’re in the anagen, or growth, stage

Each strand of hair progresses through growth phases independently

Hair grows in cycles, and even after several treatments, some follicles may still be dormant or just starting to wake up

The laser must repeatedly target hairs as they cycle into the vulnerable growth stage

Skin tone and лазерная эпиляция бикини киев цены hair color also play a big role

Fair-colored hairs, including platinum blonde, auburn, or silver, contain minimal pigment, reducing the laser’s ability to target them effectively

As a result, more sessions may be necessary to achieve noticeable reduction, and sometimes the outcome isn’t as dramatic as it is for those with dark hair and light skin

Darker skin needs lower energy settings to prevent burns or hyperpigmentation, extending the treatment timeline

Hormonal factors are another reason why some need more than eight sessions

Hormonal disorders such as PCOS, hyperthyroidism, or adrenal issues may reactivate dormant follicles

In these cases, maintenance sessions may be needed indefinitely to keep results stable

The laser effectively destroyed targeted follicles, but new ones are being stimulated by internal changes

Location matters too

Facial and intimate areas tend to clear faster due to synchronized growth patterns

Coarse, deep-rooted hair on the back, thighs, or chest requires more energy and more sessions to damage effectively

These areas may require more sessions simply because the follicles are deeper and more resistant to the laser’s energy

Your body’s natural response to laser treatment is highly personal

Some follicles are genetically programmed to be more resistant, needing repeated laser exposure to achieve permanent suppression

Sticking to the recommended schedule is essential for long-term success

Inconsistent timing lets hair regrow between sessions, making results appear slower or ineffective

The goal isn’t total eradication, but a dramatic, lasting decrease in hair density

Most clients experience a transformative reduction, even if full removal isn’t achieved

The key to lasting results is personalized care, consistent scheduling, and a technician who adapts settings to your skin and hair type
