Unwanted hair can be a persistent issue, and shaving, waxing, or plucking often feels like an endless cycle. If you’re tired of these temporary solutions, laser hair removal may be the perfect alternative. At Access MedSpa Rejuvenate in Lanham, Maryland, we offer state-of-the-art laser hair removal to help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin with long-lasting results.
Here’s everything you need to know about this highly popular and effective treatment.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses targeted laser energy to disable hair follicles, reducing hair growth over time. The process is precise, fast, and effective, targeting hair at the root without damaging the surrounding skin. This means fewer ingrown hairs, smoother skin, and long-term results that shaving or waxing can’t match.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
During the treatment, a specialized laser emits light absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy converts to heat, which damages the hair follicle. Once the follicle is destroyed, it can no longer produce hair.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are necessary to target all follicles during their active growth phase.

Key Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
- Long-Lasting Results
Laser hair removal drastically reduces hair growth. After a series of treatments, many clients experience permanent hair reduction, leaving them with smooth, maintenance-free skin. - Precision
The laser precisely targets dark, coarse hair while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. - Time-Saving
Say goodbye to daily shaving or frequent waxing appointments. Laser hair removal allows you to enjoy more time and fewer worries about stubble or regrowth. - Versatility
Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually any area of the body, including the face, arms, underarms, bikini line, legs, and back. - Reduced Ingrown Hairs
Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair removal minimizes the risk of ingrown hairs and skin irritation.
What to Expect During Treatment
At Access MedSpa Rejuvenate, we prioritize your comfort and results. Here’s what you can expect during a laser hair removal session:
- Consultation
Every treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin type, hair color, and desired treatment areas. We’ll tailor the laser settings to your unique needs for optimal results. - Preparation
You’ll need to shave the treatment area a day or two before your session. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these remove the hair from the follicle, which is necessary for laser targeting. - The Treatment
During the procedure, you may feel a slight snapping sensation as the laser targets the hair follicles. Our advanced technology includes cooling systems to enhance your comfort. - Post-Treatment Care
After your session, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect your skin. Some redness or swelling is normal and typically subsides within a few hours.
Common Myths About Laser Hair Removal
Myth 1: Laser Hair Removal is Painful
While everyone’s pain tolerance varies, most people describe the sensation as mild—similar to a rubber band snap. With modern laser technology and cooling features, discomfort is minimal.
Myth 2: It’s Only for Dark Hair
While laser hair removal works best on dark hair, advancements in technology have made it effective for a broader range of hair and skin types. At Access MedSpa Rejuvenate, we use advanced lasers suitable for various tones and textures.
Myth 3: It’s Too Expensive
While the upfront cost may seem higher than shaving or waxing, laser hair removal saves money in the long run by eliminating the need for continuous maintenance.
Myth 4: Results are Immediate
While some hairs may shed immediately, laser hair removal requires multiple sessions to achieve long-term results. Most people need 6–8 treatments spaced several weeks apart.
