Most clients require 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart due to hair growth cycles. Results vary by hair color, skin type, and hormone levels. Maintenance touch-ups annually or semiannually may be recommended for persistent follicles.

Most clients describe mild discomfort like snapping or warm tingling; modern lasers use cooling to minimize pain. Topical numbing can be applied if needed. Sessions are brief and discomfort subsides quickly, with minimal post-treatment sensitivity.
