The number of session is decided by the area to be treated and hair cycle length in that area. Usually 8 to 12 sessions are needed at an interval of 1 month for first 4 session and next 4 sessions are done according to the hair growth (usually at an interval of 2 to 3 months). Maintenance once in a year can be done to sustain the result.
Depending on the diagnosis, investigations may or may not be required. In case of hirsutism (women growing male patterned hair) investigations are needed because most of the cases of hirsutism are associated with polycystic ovarian disease. Regrowth can occur if additional hormonal therapy is not given with the laser treatment.
