Yea, I didn’t expect that she would have finished. When it goes on this long, people usually give up and a lot of the hair comes back in the months after.
10 treatments is too much imo but then most clinics advise you to go back at lesser intervals than you really need/should (to get more money out of you).
If they had their way, I would have needed 6-8 for legs but I did it in 3/4.
I don’t think her issue is hormones. Most desi girls with excess facial hair have it due to excess male hormones.
It’s just not working on those finer hairs. They probably shed as is typical (hence she thinks it’s working) but the follicles aren’t destroyed hence the hairs come back.
You only need multiple treatments to catch all the hairs in the different cycles. So somewhere like the legs, where most of the hair is the same, only needs a few treatments to catch all those hairs. Where it is a mix, it needs more coz the first few treatments target the thicker hairs with lower settings and then subsequent treatments target finer hairs with higher settings.
