Facial hair grows in cycles, so laser hair removal is carried out as a course, not a single treatment. Understanding what happens between sessions helps set realistic expectations.
Facial hair grows in cycles, so laser hair removal is carried out as a course, not a single treatment. Understanding what happens between sessions helps set realistic expectations.
Week 1 to 2 after treatment
The treated hair may appear to continue growing. This is normal. The skin may feel sensitive for a short time. Follow aftercare guidance and use SPF.
Week 2 to 3: shedding
Some treated hairs may shed. Not all hairs will shed at once. Hair grows in different cycles, so only hairs in the active growth phase are targeted at each session.
Week 3 to 6: regrowth
New growth may appear. This is expected and is usually finer and slower. You can shave between sessions if you wish, but avoid waxing, plucking or threading.
Your next appointment
Facial treatments are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on how your hair responds. Body areas are usually 6 to 8 weeks apart. Your progress, comfort and treatment settings will be reviewed at every appointment.
The number of sessions and results achieved will vary according to treatment area, hair colour, hair density, hormones and individual response.
The aim is realistic, long-term hair reduction with consistent, personalised care.
