Figure 1: Each treatment can kill a certain percentage of follicles, but fewer follicles are killed each time. The difference between 4 and 8 week intervals can be seen. Leaving an 8 week gap between treatments results in more clearance of the follicles.
Each time a treatment is carried out, fewer follicles are destroyed than previously (see table 2).

Table 2: The difference between leaving 4 or 8 weeks makes a slight difference in the % of follicles killed.
From the table above, it is clear that this treatment is a case of ‘diminishing returns’. Each treatment can kill a certain percentage of follicles, but every time a client/patient returns, there are fewer follicles to treat.
We can also see that leaving an 8 week gap between repeat treatments results in a little more clearance of follicles. But the difference is marginal!
