Usually sessions are separated with a gap of a few weeks, but again dependant on the zone concerned depends how many weeks this gap is:
• For a Body zone – sessions start with an initial gap of approximately 6 weeks
• For a Facial zone – sessions start with an initial gap of approximately 4 weeks
As the session numbers increase, so does the time frame between appointments. So what would at sessions 1 and 2 be a gap of 6 weeks between the treatment (for a body zone) between session 3-4 and 5-6 this gap would extend to 8 weeks.

In between these sessions some of the hair will re-grow as part of the natural hair cycle. Hairs that may have previously been dormant during your previous laser or IPL hair removal session may now be in the growth phase. This is where the need for multiple treatment sessions arises.
Clients should also be aware that in order to maintain a permanent hair reduction of 80-90% of the hair in the treated zone, some maintenance sessions may be required on an annual basis. These sessions are simply top-up sessions from the original course of treatment to ensure that area remains hair free, and again on average this is 1 or 2 sessions annually. Any hair that is also remaining will be more brittle, thinner and in fact more prone to breaking away on its own.
