What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a procedure which permanently disables the hair follicle through the combination of light (laser) and heat. Laser hair removal is an FDA cleared procedure effective for both men and women. This procedure delivers permanent reduction of unwanted hair.
Why does laser hair removal require 6-8 treatments?
An individual hair follicle is either in a resting state (telogen) or a growing state (anagen). The percent of hair follicles in a telogen or anagen state varies as well as the duration of the telogen and anagen. Here is a chart showing hair growth characteristics for some example body areas:

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
When a hair follicle is in the anagen state, pigment is present at the base of the follicle. The light and heat used in laser hair removal are absorbed by the pigment and permanently disables the hair follicle. In just one pulse the laser can effectively remove a patch of hair the size of a quarter.
Laser hair removal is only effective when a hair follicle is in an anagen state. Multiple treatments at specific intervals are required to provide the treatment when the hair follicle is in its growing state (anagen). About 6-8 treatments at intervals of 4-12 weeks (depends on the body area) are necessary to disable most of the follicles in a given area. Light or fine hair may require additional treatments to achieve the desired result.
