If you’re tired of shaving, waxing, or plucking, you’ve probably considered laser hair removal. But before starting a series of treatments, you may wonder what kind of results you can expect after just one treatment, a few sessions, or a full series. Even more important, how long does laser hair removal last?
The answer depends on how many sessions you complete. Generally, after a full treatment series, most people experience as much as 80% to 90% permanent hair reduction. While results are long-lasting, occasional maintenance treatments—usually once or twice a year—can help extend your smooth results indefinitely.
At Pure MedSpa, we offer BARE HR by Sciton, a treatment using innovative technology to deliver fast, effective, and long-lasting results for all skin tones. Below, we’re answering your top questions about when you’ll see results and how long they’ll last to help you make the most of your smooth-skin journey.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect After Just One Session?
After your first BARE HR session, it’s normal to see a gradual reduction in hair growth, though results vary. Most people notice that treated hairs grow back more slowly and may feel finer. However, it’s essential to realize that 1 session isn’t enough for long-term results—hair grows in cycles, and lasers only target follicles in the active growth (anagen) phase.
What Are Results Like After a Round of Treatments?
After a round of treatments—usually spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart—you’ll notice a meaningful reduction in hair growth. Most people see smoother skin, finer hair regrowth, and slower hair return in the treated areas. It’s common to spot patchy areas where hair no longer grows. With each session, more hair follicles are effectively treated, progressively reducing unwanted hair. While it’s not permanent at this stage, many people enjoy a noticeable difference in how often they need to shave—or skip shaving altogether for weeks.
How Long Do Results Last After a Full Treatment Series?
As mentioned earlier, after a full BARE HR treatment series of 3 to 6+ sessions, you can expect up to 90% hair reduction in the treated areas. Most clients notice significantly smoother skin with minimal regrowth; any remaining hair tends to be finer and lighter. Thanks to BARE HR’s advanced technology, treatments are quick, comfortable, and effective for a wide range of skin tones. While results are long-lasting, occasional maintenance sessions (about once or twice a year) can help keep your skin silky smooth.
Why Do You Need a Full Series of Treatments?
Laser hair removal is a process that requires planning and patience. Spacing sessions a few weeks apart helps catch as many hairs as possible in their growth phase. Each session will show progressive thinning and patchy regrowth until many areas become smooth with minimal hair.
What Happens If You Stop After Just a Few Sessions?
We get it—life gets busy! If you miss a treatment or pause your laser hair removal journey early, you’ll likely see uneven or partial results, such as patchy areas where hair still grows. While the treated hair may be finer or grow back more slowly, untreated follicles will eventually resume normal growth. The good news? You can pick up where you left off; our medical spa team will help you get back on track anytime!
