One session? Here's the honest answer.
Laser hair removal works with your hair's growth cycle, which is why it is planned as a course rather than a single visit.
Hair grows in cycles.
At any moment, only some of your hair is in its active growth phase, and that is the phase the laser can target. The rest is resting or shedding and will need to be treated when it cycles back into growth.
That is why laser hair removal is planned as a course of sessions: each visit catches a different group of hairs at the right moment.
What affects the number of sessions.
The number of sessions varies from person to person. The area being treated, your hair colour and thickness, your skin tone and how your hair responds all play a part, and no honest provider can promise an exact number before seeing you.
At GoWell, your provider assesses your skin and hair at a consultation, recommends a course, and reviews your progress as you go. Packages of sessions are listed on our pricing page.
Why sessions are spaced apart.
Sessions are spaced to line up with the hair growth cycle, so each visit catches newly active hairs. The spacing your provider sets depends on the area being treated, and it can change as your course progresses.
Between sessions, shave rather than wax or pluck, because those remove the root the laser needs to target.
After your course.
Once your course is complete, some clients choose occasional maintenance sessions. Whether you need them, and how often, depends on how your hair responds, and your provider will discuss it with you honestly.

Common questions.
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
It varies from person to person. The area, your hair colour and thickness, your skin tone and how your hair responds all play a part. Your provider recommends a course after assessing you and reviews progress as you go.
Why can't it be done in one session?
Only hair in its active growth phase can be targeted, and only some of your hair is in that phase at any moment. A course of sessions catches different groups of hairs as they cycle into growth.
Can I wax between sessions?
No. Waxing and plucking remove the root the laser needs to target. Shaving is fine between sessions.
How much does a course of laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal is priced by area size, with packages of sessions available. Current prices are listed on our pricing page.
