How Many Sessions Are Needed for a Lasting Effect: Realistic Expectations for Different Types of Hair Removal

Who doesn’t dream of smooth and well-groomed skin without unwanted hair? But how many procedures are needed to maintain the results for a long time? Our specialists at Kristina Epil studio can answer this question.

Undoubtedly, the exact number of sessions is always individual and depends on many factors. For example, the effectiveness of the procedures is influenced by the type of hair and the area being treated. We offer our clients hair removal using laser, sugaring, waxing, and electrolysis.

Features of Each Type of Hair Removal

Let’s look at the average recommendations of modern cosmetology practices:

  • Laser Hair Removal. This method of hair removal is regarded as one of the most effective ways to achieve long-lasting hair reduction. In our studio, we use Alexandrite and diode devices, which allow us to achieve maximum effect with minimal discomfort.

For a lasting result, 6 to 10 or more sessions are required, as the laser only affects actively growing hairs during that period. That is why repeat procedures are necessary. After completing the full course, 1–2 annual maintenance sessions might be necessary.

  • Sugaring and Waxing. Both methods provide quick results that last longer than shaving. Since hair is taken out from the root, the skin generally stays smooth for 3–5 weeks.

Sugaring is ideal for treating delicate areas, whereas waxing is more often chosen for larger areas of the body. Regularly performing these procedures at intervals of 3–6 weeks slows hair growth and makes hair softer and sparser.

  • Electrolysis. This is the only hair removal method currently recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as permanent. Unlike laser, it works equally well for all hair types and shades.

For large areas (legs, arms, bikini, back), a lasting effect is achieved after 10–20 sessions. Small areas, such as the eyebrow line or upper lip, require fewer procedures. Already after the first sessions, you will notice a significant reduction in hair, and after completing the course, you can forget about unwanted hair forever.

Choosing the right procedure allows you to achieve optimal results with minimal discomfort.
