How many sessions for underarm hair, lower leg and bikini line, do you reckon?

I am so sick of shaving and waxing etc. My skin is so irritated.

How long is a piece of string? Depends on the amount of hairiness!

Have you considered electrolysis instead? I've heard mixed reviews about laser hair removal but everyone I know who've done electrolysis have had good results.

I had 10 sessions on my underarms and bikini. TBH I could have gotten away with 8 for my underarms but needed the 10 on the bikini line to be hair free and had booked as a package. I was told at the consultation that the minimum sessions to be hair free was 6 but most people need approx 10 and some may need more. Im still 99% hair free under my arms 3 years on (might swipe a razor over 1/2 a year for the odd stray). My bikini line though does need topping up. Got it done last April and needs to be done again. They did explain that 1) Laser hair removal isnt always permanent. Most people need a yearly top up in some/all areas and 2) the bikini area and face are the most likely to be affected by regrowth due to hormones

Also to add when I say my bikini line needs a top up I mean that theres a small amount of regrowth. A small fraction of what was there before laser. Also the hair that does grow is much finer
