How effective is hair removal?

Yeongdeungpo GentleMax Pro Plus

Hello.

This is YOUN&I Clinic in Yeongdeungpo.

“I heard that laser hair removal requires five to ten sessions. Is that really true?”

This is the question most frequently asked by people looking into hair removal.

It would be great if it could be finished in one session, but when you are told that you need to schedule multiple sessions, it is natural to wonder whether that many are really necessary.

Once you understand how lasers work on hair, it becomes easier to see why multiple sessions are needed and how much hair can actually be reduced as the sessions continue.

Fortunately, there is a study that recorded the results of each session over six sessions, so let’s take a look at it together.

Why can’t it be completed in one session?

Laser hair removal works by using the heat generated when the melanin pigment in the hair absorbs laser light to damage the hair follicle.

However, there is one condition.

This method works properly only on hair that is actively growing at the time of treatment.

Hair growth cycle

The hair on our bodies goes through a mixture of growth phases and resting phases.

Even within the same treatment area, some hairs are growing, some are preparing to fall out, and some have not yet emerged.

Therefore, when a laser is applied once, only the hairs that happen to be in the growth phase at that time respond.

Hairs that were resting remain as they are and emerge again later.

Because the laser must be applied again whenever those hairs enter the growth phase, multiple treatments at regular intervals become necessary.

How much hair is reduced with repeated sessions?

Now, let’s look at a study to see how much hair is actually reduced as the sessions accumulate.

A paper related to the Yeongdeungpo GentleMax Pro Plus

In this clinical study, 59 people concerned about facial hair received six treatments using the GentleMax Pro Plus 1064 nm laser at intervals of four to six weeks, and the hair grade was recorded after each session.

The goal was for thick, dark hair to become as fine and light as vellus hair.

The results showed that the number of people reaching the target increased as the sessions accumulated.

By the third treatment, it was only about one in twenty people (5%).

It increased to 15% after the fourth treatment, 25% after the fifth, and exceeded half—reaching 56%—by the sixth treatment.

The pattern was that there was little change during the earlier sessions, followed by a substantial increase later on.

This explains why the effects may not be noticeable after only two or three treatments, and why it is not advisable to stop midway.

How many sessions might my treatment area require?

However, not everyone achieves the same results in the same number of sessions.

There was an interesting point in this study.

While no one failed to achieve the target with thick, dark hair, nearly half of those with medium-thickness, light-colored hair showed little change even after six treatments.

The darker and thicker the hair, the more melanin it contains and the better it absorbs laser light.

For this reason, thick, dark hair such as male facial hair tends to respond relatively well, while fine, light hair on the arms or upper lip may require more sessions.

White hair, which has no pigment at all, and very fine vellus hair are also difficult to treat because they do not contain enough melanin to absorb the laser.

In addition, this study focused on facial hair in people with darker skin, so the required number of sessions and the results may differ depending on the treatment area and skin tone.

Therefore, rather than focusing on the number of sessions needed to “finish” treatment, it is more accurate to plan your sessions based first on the thickness and color of your hair and the treatment area.

If you are looking into GentleMax Pro Plus hair removal in Yeongdeungpo, please remember that dividing the treatment into multiple sessions is not simply a sales tactic; it is because of the hair growth cycle.

In the study, progress was slow through the third treatment, but the percentage exceeded half by the sixth.

Continuing without stopping midway and maintaining the recommended intervals is ultimately the fastest path.
