If you are planning on getting laser facial hair removal, you need to be aware that it is important to honor the suggested time intervals or time gaps between treatments. If you are spending the money to use this form of hair removal, you may as well make sure to do things the right way in order to ensure that the hair removed from your face stays gone for as long as possible without having to pay for extra, unnecessary treatment. When it comes to hair removal systems, there are no shortcuts. Doing things the right way the first time around IS the shortest path to your desired goal: smooth, hairless skin!
While different laser hair removal clinics may offer slightly different suggestions in regards to the time you need to wait between treatments in order for optimal facial hair removal, the general consensus is that you should be waiting approximately 2 months in between each laser facial hair removal treatment. The reason for this is so that the hair roots stay close to the surface of the skin. This allows for a greater effect with each successive treatment. After each treatment, the hair will become thinner and thinner. Even though you may not see the use of continuing treatment once your hair appears to thin to the point where you feel happy, know that it is often important to continue with treatment afterwards to ensure that the hair removal remains permanent and as long lasting as possible.
If you find that for some reason you need to take some time off in between sessions, longer than what is suggested by the laser treatment clinic, know that you should hold onto most of the ‘gains’ you have recieved from your laser treatment in regards to how thin it has made your hair. Laser hair removal can push the limits of some people’s budgets. Though it isn’t the most optimal way to go about doing things, this sort of thing happens all the time. Be aware that this may mean that you might have to go in for an extra treatment or two when you are done as interupting the process may make the treatment less effective.
Another thing to consider both during treatment, and if you end up having to interupt the treatment time interval between laser hair treatments for your face is that if you end up using some other form of hair removal system during this time period that waxing should be avoided as well as any other form of epilation such as sugaring, mechanical epilation or anything else that is used to remove the hair from the root. The irritation caused by waxing and other forms of epilation can cause the hair root to retreat away from the surface of the skin. For laser hair removal to be most effective, it needs to have access to the hair root. The closer the hair root is allowed to remain towards your skin, the greater the effect the laser will be able to produce. If you take a break from your laser treatments and decide to wax in between, you should wait at least two months before resuming your treatment regimen.
So there it is — you will be waiting somewhere around 2 months in between each laser treatment for your face. During that time, you are to avoid epilation or waxing. If you need to take longer than 2 months in between treatments, it is advised that you avoid epilation or if you do, wait 2 months before resuming treatment. When you decide to spend the money on a permanent form of hair removal such as laser treatment, follow the recommended guidelines as close as possible, and you will enjoy smooth, hairless skin for a long time to come!
