Well you HAVE to go in the place completely shaven, other wise they do it but charge... so yeah weird... so come in shaved (the area your doing) you go 6 times, every 10 weeks, so a good year for it to be DONE. It may grow back in patches, then fall off, I could see mine growing slowly after the first session which was nice, now I kinda feel like its back to normal and I am def. ready for session 2!!!
