Laser Hair Removal in Stony Stratford: Why Repeat Treatments Are Key
Confidence starts with consistency — see real results at McCarthy Skin Clinic in Milton Keynes.
Laser hair removal is a game-changer for those looking to reduce unwanted hair and enjoy smooth, confident skin. But one of the most common misconceptions is that a single session will deliver permanent results. At our skin clinic in Stony Stratford, we educate our clients on the importance of repeat treatments, a crucial step to achieving long-lasting, hair-free skin.
In this blog, we’ll explore why multiple sessions are necessary, what you can expect, and how our lead practitioner Anna ensures every client receives expert care throughout their treatment plan.
Why One Session Isn’t Enough: The Hair Growth Cycle Explained
Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment in the hair follicle. But not all your hairs are in the same stage of growth at the same time.
There are three main stages of hair growth:
- Anagen (growth stage) – Laser treatments are most effective here.
- Catagen (transitional stage)
- Telogen (resting stage)
Since only 20-30% of hairs are in the active (anagen) phase at any one time, repeat sessions are essential to target every follicle as it cycles through growth.
How Many Sessions Do You Really Need?
At McCarthy Skin Clinic, we recommend a minimum of 8 sessions to achieve the most effective and lasting results. Here’s why:
- Each session targets different follicles
- Hair becomes finer and slower-growing over time
- Consistent treatments reduce regrowth significantly
- Most clients see up to 90% permanent reduction after completing a full course
What our clients say:
“I have been going to Mccarthy Skin Clinic for laser hair removal and I am really pleased with the results so far. I was quite anxious about going but they made me feel really comfortable, Katie does my treatments but I have met Anna in the reception who introduced herself and answered some questions I had about laser. It has worked so well already and it’s giving me confidence that I didn’t have before 😀” – Terri Dawkins
This client’s experience is a perfect example of why consistent, supportive care paired with repeat treatments is so powerful.

FAQs – Repeat Treatments & Laser Hair Removal
Q. Can I just do 3-4 sessions and stop?
A. You’ll see some reduction, but it won’t be permanent or consistent. For smooth, lasting results, 8 sessions are strongly recommended.
Q. How long between each session?
A. Typically, we space treatments 4–6 weeks apart, depending on the area and hair type.
Q. Will I need top-ups in future?
A. Most clients come in once or twice a year after their course to maintain results—this is completely normal.
