The journey to smooth, hair-free skin via laser hair removal is a path marked by many important milestones. From your initial consultation to celebrating the final results, every step holds its unique significance. At LaserLux Aesthetics, we are committed to guiding you through this transformative process. If you’ve been interested in body or facial laser hair removal in Beltsville, MD, read below for more information about what you can expect from your treatments.
The initial consultation is an important first step in the laser hair removal process. It provides an opportunity for you and your laser technician to discuss your goals, address any concerns or questions, and evaluate your skin and hair type. This consultation allows the technician to assess whether you're a suitable candidate for the procedure, as factors such as hair color, skin type, and certain medical conditions can affect the outcome. It's also the perfect time to discuss what you should do to prepare for the procedure, what the procedure will involve, and what to expect afterward. It's important to be open and honest during this consultation to ensure the best possible results.
One size certainly does not fit all when it comes to laser hair removal for women or hair removal for men. The treatment needs to be tailored to your specific needs, taking into account factors such as your hair and skin type, hair density, and the area to be treated. For instance, the approach for facial hair removal would differ from that of leg hair removal due to the sensitivity and exposure of the skin. Your technician should customize your treatment plan to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects.
During each laser hair removal session, you'll be given protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser. The technician will then use a handheld device that emits laser pulses to target the hair follicles in the area to be treated. You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin, but the discomfort is usually manageable. Some devices have a cooling mechanism to soothe the skin during the procedure. Each session can last from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Once the session is complete, a soothing lotion or ice pack may be applied to alleviate any temporary discomfort or redness.
Laser hair removal requires patience. Hair grows in stages and laser hair removal is most effective during the phase when the hair is actively growing out. As all hairs are not in the same stage at the same time, multiple sessions are necessary to target all hairs in the growth phase. After each session, you should notice a gradual decrease in hair growth and density. Tracking your treatment progress can help you manage your expectations and recognize the effectiveness of the treatment.
The final results of laser hair removal are a great achievement. However, it's important to maintain these results. Even after your initial treatment course, touch-up sessions may be required once or twice a year to manage any hair regrowth, as individual results can vary based on hormonal changes and other factors. Continue to protect your skin from sun exposure and keep it moisturized.

This place is fantastic! The staff s wonderful. The place is relaxing and a very calm environment! Excellent job, I do monthly face treatment, and I love it! Since I started coming to LaserLux Aesthetics, my skin gets healthier and better. I have been receiving many compliments, people close to me tell me that I look 10 years younger. I feel amazing!
My first experience was fast and down-to-earth honest. Which I like!! Very comfortable. Dr. Asiya's work was exactly what I asked for. She makes you feel comfortable and talks you through every step. The nurse was very informative about my next visit. I look forward to seeing the results of their work. So far I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs micro needleing or laser hair removal.
Absolutely the most gentle & sweetest medical spa provider and they make me feel comfortable every time I visit this office for skin care and hair removal. They always make sure you are numb and are good before sticking needles in your face and lips. They are very reasonable on prices also and in a cute little office that’s super cozy. I always get in for appointments when I call as well I never have to wait weeks.
