Hello all
has anyone done laser hair removal on their legs? The salon i'm going to is doing my legs but they want me to come in every 5 weeks.
I feel like im not noticing much change even after 3 sessions and the same areas keep getting treated, but they aren't shedding. Do they have me on too frequent of a schedule? I thought i read somewhere that body hair should be spaced every 8 to 10 weeks, and only facial hair should be 4 to 6 weeks.
if they keep zapping hairs that aren't in an active growth phase, do they simply persist, and not shed??

The fist laser I used (ND:Yag) had little or no effect on my body hair. It was a matter of finding another one more effective for me, Pulsed Diode Array. I usually come once every two or three months, 8 weeks being the minimum.

Thanks Julia. The unfortunately thing now is i'm tied to a contract for 8 treatments. I'm not sure what I can do at this point.
