I would like to inquire about the recommended number of sessions and treatment cycle for laser hair removal on the philtrum and beard.

Hello! Shaving every morning is a hassle, and I keep getting skin problems due to razor burn, so I am considering laser hair removal. I plan to get a consultation at a dermatology clinic near City Hall Station, which is close to my office, and proceed right away. I would like to know the recommended number of sessions for laser hair removal on the philtrum or beard area to see a noticeable reduction in hair growth. Also, I would like to know if the typical interval for follow-up visits is about 4 weeks. I am curious about the level of pain involved during the procedure and whether anesthetic cream is properly applied to alleviate the discomfort. I would appreciate it if those with experience could share whether there is significant skin redness or side effects like folliculitis immediately after the procedure!
