Laser hair removal is a popular procedure for many reasons. It is gentle, non-invasive, and effective when done at a reputable clinic that has invested in the latest laser technology.
There are several ways to remove unwanted body hair, but most of them are uncomfortable, time-consuming, and expensive over your lifetime! This is where laser hair removal comes in – it’s virtually painless and a great long-term solution for hair removal anywhere on the body as well as more cost effective compared to a lifetime of waxing or shaving!
The most common question we get about the procedure is “how many sessions are needed for great results?” The truth is that it can vary from person to person and several factors go into it. Read on to learn more about our laser hair removal services and how many sessions you may need to get the results you seek from laser hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal Services Overview
We know what a pain hair removal can be and our goal has always been to simplify it in the best way possible. This is why our clinics focus entirely on laser hair removal and giving our clients the best possible experience. We understand the struggle of constantly shaving, waxing, or seeking other hair removal treatments.To maintain perfectly smooth skin, many people must shave every day! This is very time-consuming and can get expensive. There’s a lot to replenish regularly between razors, refills, shaving cream, and more. Shaving can also cause things like bumps, cuts and razor burns.
You may be able to wax less often if that’s the route you choose, but it still gets expensive and requires regular appointments at a wax bar. Waxing is also generally more painful and it’s especially hard on sensitive skin!
Before you pull the trigger on laser hair removal for yourself, however, it’s best to familiarize yourself with our process. We’ll take you through the following steps:
- We start with a Free Consultation. Here, we’ll discuss your goals and determine if you’re a good candidate for laser hair removal. If we don’t think that laser hair removal will be the right solution for you, we will let you know given we offer the GoLaser Guarantee and our interests are aligned for you to see Results! This is also your chance to ask all your questions!
- You’ll make sure your skin is prepped before your first appointment. This involves eliminating sun exposure and the use of makeup, lotions, oils, and retinoids before each session. You’ll also need to shave about 24 hours before treatment.
- With your first treatment, we’ll provide safety glasses and send you home with a post-treatment guide to ensure optimal results. We use a cooling spray during the duration of the treatment to reduce any pain or discomfort.
- Following the initial treatment, you’ll attend as many treatments as you need to get the results you want with our 24 months of unlimited laser!
- Each time, the power of the laser is increased slightly to ensure that hair reduction is improved, and the results get better!
- After your initial 24 months of treatments are done, most clients get to 90% hair reduction! Yearly touch-ups are included after your initial round of treatments is complete with our GoLaser Guarantee.
Legs and underarms are perhaps the most common areas for laser hair removal treatments at GoLaser, but you can do it just about anywhere on the body!
This goes for men and women alike but other popular areas are:
- Lips and chin
- Bikini/Brazilian
- Full face
- Stomach line
- Full arms
- Full bum
- Back
- Neck
- Shoulders
- And more
So….How Many Sessions of Laser Hair Do You Need?
Anyone considering laser hair removal thinks about the number of sessions they will need for a few reasons, from cost to time commitments. We always do our best to give you as accurate an estimate as possible, but everyone is going to be a little different.
There are a few factors that determine how many sessions you’ll need to achieve optimal results:
- Skin and hair colour. Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair. Therefore, the more contrast you have between the colour of your hair and skin, the better for the laser to “see” the hair and target it. This means lighter hair and/or darker skin tones may require more sessions to achieve optimal results.
- Coarseness of the hair and how resilient it is! Coarser hair may require more sessions for maximum efficacy.
- Treatment location. Some areas of the body are easier to treat than others and may require more or less time! Underarms and Brazilian are great areas for Laser Hair Removal!
All of this can be discussed with our technicians during your consultation, but the average person usually needs around 7-12 main sessions.
However, you never have to worry about that with GoLaser, as every package includes 24 months of UNLIMITED LASER! In addition, we include a lifetime of touchups (one touch-up per year) to keep up the results for as long as possible!
Laser Hair Removal Cost
Although laser hair removal saves you money in the long run, it’s a larger investment upfront. Many clinics do charge per session, meaning that you may only be able to afford a certain number of sessions!
This can be frustrating and difficult for those with darker skin tones, lighter hair, coarser hair, etc. as all of this may mean that you require more sessions than the average person, through no fault of your own!
This is why we offer an inclusive pricing model at GoLaser. Once you choose the body area you want to laser, you pay the same price as everyone else, regardless of things like hair type, colour, age, skin tone, etc. With our industry first GoLaser Guarantee, you get 24 months of unlimited initial sessions + a lifetime of yearly touch-ups for one fixed cost.
We also welcome you back post-pregnancy to restart your sessions as necessary – also free of any additional charge at GoLaser.
