Thanks for the query.
Laser hair removal is actually laser hair reduction treatment. Multiple sessions are needed at an interval of 6-8 weeks and can last for a year or so to achieve a desired result. If there are no medical reasons for increased facial or body hair, you can start this procedure. Unless medical causes have been ruled out, laser hair removal should not be initiated. This may be one reason for ineffectiveness of the procedure. Moreover the lasers machine are of different quality and a good quality machine will be more reliable.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
