Regular grooming and body hair maintenance can become time-consuming and expensive as the years go on. This is why women have been turning to more long-lasting solutions such as Brazillian laser hair removal. Laser hair removal services are an excellent, low-maintenance alternative to waxing, shaving and hair removal creams. Before investing in laser hair removal in Toronto, it is essential to understand just how many sessions you may require. There are many factors that can influence the number of sessions needed, and at IGBeauty, we can help you determine how many sessions are best for you.

Factors Influencing the Number of Sessions
- Hair Colour: The majority of lasers used for hair removal target the melanin in the follicle. At IGBeauty, we use the Lightsheer Duet. With this kind of laser being used, women with darker hair may have better results and require fewer sessions.
- Hair Coarseness: The thicker your individual hair strands are and the denser your hair growth, the more sessions you will require to achieve a near-hairless appearance.
- Hormonal Conditions: Certain hormonal conditions, such as PCOS and thyroid issues, can impact hair growth. Oftentimes, PCOS is associated with increased hair growth, especially on the face, and as a result, more sessions may be required to achieve the desired results.
Typical Number of Sessions Needed
As mentioned above, the number of laser hair removal sessions needed varies quite heavily depending on your hair and skin type. The average woman may require 6-10 sessions to see significant results. However, if you want to achieve a completely hairless appearance, especially in the bikini area, it is likely that you will need twelve or more sessions for the best results. Regardless of how many sessions you initially conduct, you may require some touch-ups as the years go on. Some women will go once a year for maintenance, while others do not need it at all.
Tips for Achieving Optimal Results
Although the number of laser hair removal sessions conducted will impact your overall results, other factors can also affect them. Here is how to achieve optimal results after every session:
- Shave no more than one day before your appointment to ensure that your hair is in its growth phase
- Stay out of the sun both before and after your laser session in order to prevent tanning, which can interfere with accurate melanin targeting.
- Exfoliate your skin before your sessions and in between treatments to allow your hair follicles to shed properly and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs, ensuring smoother results.
