Figure 27 - Assuming an 80% efficiency in killing the follicles pushes the minimum number of treatments to 4.
Many laser/IPL clinics quote a typical treatment interval of 6 to 8 weeks, which means they are treating too soon, in most cases – this leads to an excess of treatments!! They also quote between 6 and 8 treatments in total, to effectively removal all the hairs in any area.
According to the calculations above, this shows that most clinics are operating at below 60% efficiency, or thereabouts!!
This is mostly due to two reasons:
1) their treatments are ‘under-performing’ due to low an output, and
2) they are treating people too frequently.
