5 Things You Probably Wished You Knew Before Starting Laser Hair Removal

If you’ve been thinking about ditching razors and waxing for good, laser hair removal is a game-changer. But before you dive in, there are a few things that most people wish they knew ahead of time. At Ashburn Laser & Skincare MedSpa, we want you to feel fully prepared so you get the best results possible.

1. It’s Not a One & Done Treatment

Laser hair removal works by targeting hair during its active growth cycle. Since not all hairs grow at the same time, multiple sessions are needed to effectively treat the area. Think of it as a series, not a single appointment.

2. Consistency Is Key

Sticking to your scheduled sessions is crucial. Skipping or delaying treatments can slow progress and extend your timeline for results. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your skin and hair type & follow it closely for the smoothest outcome.

3. Vitamins & Supplements Matter

Certain vitamins, supplements, or medications can affect your skin’s sensitivity and even your hair growth cycle. Always let your provider know what you’re currently taking so we can tailor your treatment safely and effectively.

4. Irritation or Redness Is Totally Normal

A little redness, swelling, or sensitivity after treatment is common and temporary. It’s simply your skin responding to the laser. Following your aftercare instructions (like soothing products like Aloe Vera and SPF) will help calm and protect your skin.

5. Patience Is Part of the Process

Laser hair removal delivers long-lasting, life-changing results- but they don’t happen overnight. With each session, you’ll notice smoother skin and reduced hair growth. Trust the process, it’s worth it.
