    Short answer - no. 80% at most. But when that hair doesn’t grow back after each session - you’ll notice.

    Like Ada said - they and I have the Goldilocks complexion for laser, dark hair and light skin. My transition has been largely out of the NHS’s pocket and I was granted 8 sessions. The clinic guessed 70-90% coverage given my skin and hair tones and they were accurate by the end at ~80%.
    I’d say 12 initial or two blocks of 8 are perfect, and I’ve also heard that electrolysis for what laser doesn’t get is a good option.

    Finally - epilation, plucking or shaving for the rest. I choose to epilate now because ripping the fuckers out leaves my skin much smoother for longer. Mid-high pain threshold needed.
