The reason is because hair grows in cycles, and numerous sessions are necessary in order to affect all hair on any specified area. Due to the length of hair growth cycles, laser treatments are usually required, once every 4 weeks. After the initial 6-8 cycles, the result is permanent, however some patients like to do a maintenance session every 3 months to make sure no remaining weakened hair follicles activate again.
