Generally, it takes five to six treatments with approximately one month between them. However, the number can vary based on various factors, including skin type (light or dark) and where on the body the treatments are being performed. Also, not all laser systems are the same; some give much better results than others. To get the most effective and safe treatments, it’s best to have them done in a medical office under the direction of a board-certified physician who has training and experience in laser treatments.
