Why does laser hair removal take so long?

Almost everyone knows that laser hair removal is an effective solution to unwanted hair, but a lot of people are shocked when they find out that it generally takes about  two years to get the optimal results from your treatments and to achieve a clinical endpoint of 70-90% reduction.

The reason that it takes so long to get the results that you want is that the laser is only able to treat hair that is on its active growth cycle. At any given time, only about 10% of your hair is actively growing. With each treatment you can see up to a 30% reduction in hair growth.

Another reason that it takes so long to finish laser is that your hair grows in cycles. There is only about 10% of your hair growing at any given time, and it takes a while for the next 10% to enter their active growth stage. Different areas of the body grow hair at different rates, so there are certain intervals that you have to get treated on to see optimal results. We recommend being treated every 6 weeks.
