How long Does a laser hair removal session take?
A laser hair removal session typically takes varying amounts of time depending on the area being treated and the individual's hair type and skin sensitivity. However, on average, a session can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
Factors that influence the duration of a laser hair removal session:
- The size of the treatment area - Larger areas such as the legs or back may take longer to treat compared to smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms.
- The density and thickness of the hair - Coarser, thicker hair may require more passes with the laser, resulting in a longer session.
- The individual's pain tolerance - Some people may require more breaks during the treatment, which can lengthen the session duration.
Estimates of session durations for different areas:
- Upper lip or chin: 5-15 minutes
- Underarms: 15-30 minutes
- Bikini area: 15-30 minutes
- Lower legs: 45 minutes to an hour
- Back or chest: 45 minutes to an hour
