Which of the following is a common misconception about laser hair removal?

The belief that laser hair removal is a permanent solution after just one session is a common misconception. In reality, multiple sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective on hairs that are in the active growth phase. Since not all hair is in this phase at the same time, multiple treatments, spaced appropriately, are necessary to target the different hairs as they enter the growth cycle. This gradual process is why patients might not see permanent results after a single session, as some hair follicles will still be in a dormant phase and not affected by the laser treatment.

Understanding these aspects of laser hair removal helps set realistic expectations for patients and highlights the importance of following the recommended treatment plan for effective results.
