How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Do You Really Need? A Breakdown by Area
One of the most common questions clients ask is:
“How many laser sessions do I actually need?”
Great question — and the answer depends on your hair type, your skin, and the area being treated. At Boutique39 Skin Therapy, we tailor every laser plan using the advanced Soprano Ice Platinum, which safely treats all skin tones and hair types.
Here’s a clear breakdown of what to expect.
Why You Need Multiple Sessions
Hair grows in cycles, and laser can only target follicles in the active (anagen) phase. Not all hairs are in this phase at the same time — which is why one session isn’t enough.
Most clients need a series of 6–10 treatments, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, to achieve long-lasting reduction.
Session Breakdown by Area
Underarms
6 sessions for noticeable long-term reduction
Quick, effective, and one of the most popular areas
Brazilian / Bikini
6–10 sessions depending on density
Hormonal hair tends to require more consistency
Legs
6–8 sessions
Results here are some of the most dramatic and long-lasting
Face (lip, chin, sideburns)
8–10 sessions due to finer and often hormonally influenced hair
Consistency is key
Arms
6–8 sessions
Great area for clients who want smoothness without regular shaving
Back / Chest / Stomach
8–10 sessions
Coarser hair may require more treatments but responds beautifully to laser
Why Some Clients Need More Sessions
Factors that may affect the total number of treatments include:
Hormones
Hair density
Genetics
Medication
Pregnancies or postpartum changes
Your plan will always be personalized for your skin + hair goals.
Maintenance Treatments
After completing your series, we recommend coming back every 4–6 months for a quick maintenance session to keep results smooth and consistent.
It’s fast, easy, and prevents any small regrowth from building up.
