Which type of client generally requires more sessions for effective laser hair removal?

Clients with fine hair generally require more sessions for effective laser hair removal because fine hair typically has less melanin compared to coarse hair. The laser targets the pigment in the hair; therefore, lighter and finer hair may absorb less energy from the laser, making it less effective during each session. Consequently, more sessions are needed to achieve the desired results.

Additionally, fine hair often grows in cycles that may be less synchronized than coarser hair, which can also contribute to the need for additional treatments. On the other hand, medium to coarse hair usually absorbs the laser energy more effectively due to higher melanin content, allowing for more efficient removal and potentially fewer sessions overall. Clients with lighter skin shades may also see better results due to the contrast between their skin tone and hair color, but this factor is less about the hair’s properties and more about the client’s skin tone.
