On average, laser hair removal typically requires between seven and 10 sessions spaced about five weeks apart at the start of treatment, but not every client is the same. Factors like skin tone, hair color, and the hair’s growth cycle must be considered in order to determine the most effective treatment plan.
Also, not all body areas are the same. If a client wants to address only their underarms, that’s a quick session and treatment timeline. Larger areas like the chest, back, and legs will require more time with each treatment.
“For the most part, the client decides how fast or slow they want this journey to be,” said Milan Laser Clinical Support Nurse Anne L. “If you follow our recommendations, come in consistently, and stay out of the sun, we can continue to follow our protocol to get you hair-free as quickly as possible.”
In order to get the most effective results and to ensure saying goodbye to the razors, wax, and other outdated hair removal methods, multiple laser hair removal sessions will be required.
Another important point is understanding the phase a hair is in during treatment. Hair has four growth phases: Anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), telogen (resting), and exogen (shedding). Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase because the hair root is at its largest and takes on the most melanin.
Treatments are spaced out – usually five weeks between sessions – to allow the resting follicles to grow so they can be properly addressed at a future appointment.
As we mentioned earlier, Milan Laser Hair Removal clients typically require between seven to 10 treatments – starting with five-week intervals between appointments – to achieve their hair-free goals with permanent results.
Results may vary from individual to individual as some may see results earlier or later than others. Factors like sun exposure can prolong a treatment regimen because a client may not have their natural skin tone. Hair coarseness can also play a role in the timeline of becoming hair-free.
But the good news is Milan’s Unlimited Treatment Package™ will have you covered, regardless of the length of your treatment. You pay one price for your body area, and you’ll never pay another dime, even if you’ll require touch-up treatments months or years after the initial conclusion of your laser hair removal journey.

While achieving hair-free goals is a gradual process, it’s also rewarding to see firsthand how quickly you’ll notice a difference. Even following your first treatment, you might see hair beginning to fall out.
And by your second and third treatments and beyond, you’ll see hair coarseness and volume decreasing. And with each passing treatment, hair volume will decrease. By the end of your hair-free journey, you’ll be ready to enjoy long-term results with no need for razors or wax!
Seven to 10 treatments on average. The number will vary from person to person depending on factors like body area, coarseness of hair, and adherence to treatment instructions. This does not account for touch-ups.
This answer is based on the body area being treated. If you’re getting your underarms, upper lip, or bikini line addressed, it can be done within 15 minutes. Larger areas like the back, chest, or legs can take closer to 30 or 45 minutes.
Most clients require seven to 10 treatments with a five-week break between treatments at the start of their hair-free journey. And later into their treatment, there will be closer to 10 weeks between treatments. Because multiple sessions are needed, most body areas will take at least a year to get fully hair-free.
Clients start with five-week intervals between appointments. The time frame allows the follicles to complete their growth cycles. It also ensures all clients will be safely and effectively treated.
