Patients with darker skin types can be treated. However, a free test treatment may be done first to determine the optimal laser settings. The full laser treatment will be carried out on another day. You should discuss your desired results and the improvements you expect to achieve. Together you and the physician can decide if your expectations will be met and if this laser treatment is the best option.
Hair grows in cycles.
The number of treatments required depends upon your skin, hair coloring and coarseness of the hair. Everyone will require at least 2-3 treatments, as the process is only effective on hairs during their growing cycle. Repeated sessions will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase. Three to five treatments is the commonest treatment program.
