How Long Does A Laser Hair Removal Treatment Take?
The length of time needed depends on the size of the area being treated. For instance, the upper lip will only take minutes, while other areas, like the leg will take more time.

|
The times listed are a range. Variables
include laser used, the spot size of the laser which is
often somewhat dependent upon the amount of laser energy
required (fluence).
Laser energy used (dose) is in turn affected by skin and
hair color.
Most treatment times end up toward the lower end of the
range given here, however.
Also, treatments tend to go more rapidly each successive
treatment.
The time it takes is still a fraction of the time
electrolysis would take for the same area because lasers
can treat multiple hair follicles at once.
