Laser clinic is telling me I need to get treatment once a month, but I read online that facial hair grows faster, so once ever two weeks is better. Is this right? Should I cause a fuss? Or do I need to just resign to the idea that I'm gonna be doing hair removal for half a year?

Edit: thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to buckle up for a long haul agony-deep

Two weeks would be complete overkill, that number almost definitely refers to electrolysis which operates under completely different premises. My face hadn't even shedded all the dead hairs from the last treatment after two weeks. Once a month is a very fast regimen that you can go for at the start, when there's always enough hair to make it worthwhile and when the need to get rid of it is very pressing. Later on, you will notice that your hair's growth cycle means you'll get the most mileage per treatment when you aim for somewhere between 6-8 weeks.

Laser hair removal takes time, between 6-12 months usually. And from what I've seen most clinics wait between one to two months between each session. It's most likely gonna take just as long but cost twice as much if you do it every two weeks instead

I don't have any idea what's best, but I've gotten far by just bringing stuff like that up. "hey I read online that every two weeks is better for facial hair, would that mean this process would move faster?" and maybe they'll just say "oh yea, if you want to come in that often that would also work" Its easier for them to assume you wouldn't want to come in extra then to ask.

Like honestly I think a lot of these people are just coasting to make the conversations as short as possible (I don't blame them one bit to be clear). I needed a procedure sooner then later. Asked when they could get me in in (city near me). They said the soonest they had was a few weeks out in (city that is further). It was also just to evaluate what they needed to do, they couldn't actually help me until another even further out date. Asked if they had anything else, and they said there was an appointment sooner, in my preferred city, and they could just do it then if they needed to. But I guess she didn't know if I would want it done that day (I wanted it done asap). Confusing, but shrug-outta-hecks sometimes you just gotta ask unfortunately.
