How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?
While there’s nothing wrong with facial or body hair, many of us prefer to keep some areas smooth. Unfortunately, this usually requires tedious processes like shaving or waxing. If you want a long-lasting option that makes your life easier and more convenient, it might be time to consider laser hair removal.Â
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Lasers work by using a focused wavelength of light energy, and the advanced Harmony® XL Pro targets hair more effectively than other devices with minimal discomfort. During treatment, this laser targets the pigments that give your hair its color. The pigments absorb the energy as heat that damages the hair follicles, stopping new hair growth. Your Albuquerque Vein & Laser Institute team uses the Harmony® XL Pro to provide lasting hair removal faster and more comfortably than other systems.

How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?
While laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, they are not entirely permanent. Most people will see a few stray hairs regrow, and this may take anywhere from months to years. These stray hairs are usually finer and lighter than before.Â
We recommend maintenance treatments to keep your skin smooth. While each person’s needs will vary, annual touch-ups will usually keep skin flawlessly smooth.Â
While your hair growth in the area may never return to previous levels, all forms of laser hair removal will require the occasional maintenance session. Talk to your laser care expert about how long your individual results may last.Â
How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required for laser hair removal can vary widely. Most people will benefit from six to eight treatments to achieve their best results. Because hair follicles go through growth cycles, all the hairs cannot be treated at the same time. The laser targets active follicles, so we time your treatments to allow more follicles to become active for the next session.

Is There Any Downtime After Laser Hair Removal?
Because the Harmony® XL Pro laser protects the skin from damage or discomfort, you can return to your usual activities after treatment with no downtime. The skin may look red and feel warm or tingly for a few hours after treatment. Avoid irritating or harsh products on the area for a day or two.Â
Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Individuals with unwanted hair on the face or body may benefit from laser hair removal. In general, good candidates have reasonable expectations and are in good health. Our advanced laser can treat more hair and skin tones than most systems, including very light hair or tanned skin. The skin in the treatment area should be healthy and not irritated at the time of treatment.Â
