You will need at least 2 laser treatments to remove unwanted hair from your bikini area, but most people need a few extra treatments to achieve their desired results. That's because your hair grows in stages, and laser hair removal only affects the portion of your hair in the active growth phase. Treatments are usually spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your recovery will largely depend on the type and number of procedures you decide to undergo during your mommy makeover. If you're healthy enough, combining procedures is often a good idea since it consolidates healing into only one recovery period.
