I purchased a hair removal package for my legs somewhere else and have gone through about 10 treatments but still have a lot of hair left. Why is this?

There could be a few different reasons for continuous hair growth. One could be the type of Intense Pulse light or laser used in your treatment, and also the spacing of your treatments within your package.  Intense Pulsed Light, which is very effective for many other treatments, doesn’t seem to produce the permanent hair removal results that we see from our laser, the Candela Gentlelase.  Intense Pulsed Light systems and certain lasers do not deliver as much energy to the hair follicle as the Gentlelase can.  We typically see about 90% permanent hair reduction after about 8 treatments.  Our experienced technicians use a very effective laser, the Candela Gentlelase, and space your treatments according to your hair growth cycle, leaving you with the best results possible.
