Yes, it is not recommended to do laser hair removal every 2 weeks. The ideal time to wait between treatments is 4-6 weeks for facial hair and 5-6 weeks for body hair. This allows the hair follicles to fully recover and start growing again so that they can be targeted by the laser.

The length of a laser hair treatment will vary depending on the size of the treatment area. For example, a treatment on the face may take 15 minutes, while a treatment on the legs may take 30 minutes.

Elite iQ laser works by emitting a beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. This heat energy damages the hair follicle and prevents it from growing new hair.

Cynosure Elite is one of the best hair removal lasers on the market. It is safe, effective, and comfortable for patients.

It is also Health Canada -approved for the treatment of hair removal.

When it comes to laser hair removal for darker skin tones, Nd: YAG lasers are widely regarded as the industry standard.

Now, what happens if you do not shave before laser hair removal? The surface hair, if not removed, becomes an obstacle for the laser.

Instead of reaching the hair follicles, the laser energy gets absorbed by the surface hair.

This means the hair follicles don’t get the necessary amount of laser energy for the treatment to work well. It’s like having a roadblock on the way to your destination—the laser can’t reach the intended target, and the energy gets wasted on the surface, leaving you without the desired results.
