What to Expect After Just One Session of Laser Hair Reduction — For Clients of Lejeune Medspa
If you’ve just had your first session of laser hair reduction at Lejeune Medspa — yay! But: don’t expect miracles yet. Here’s what’s realistic, what’s “normal,” and why one session rarely means “hair-free forever.”
✅ What really happens after one session
- Some hairs shed — but not all. The laser targets only hairs that are in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Because not all hairs are in the same phase together, only a fraction responds.
- You may see a modest reduction — roughly 10–25% hair loss. According to dermatology sources, many people notice a slight decrease in hair count and density after their first session.
- Shedding typically unfolds over days to weeks. The hair doesn’t “disappear” immediately — treated follicles often release hair slowly over 1–3 weeks as skin renews.
- Skin might react briefly, but nothing major. There may be mild redness, slight swelling, a bit of itching or warmth, which usually subsides within hours or a couple of days.
So yes — after one session you can see some change: a bit less hair, maybe some shedding, potentially hair that feels finer or grows slower. But usually nothing dramatic, and definitely not permanent smoothness.
???? Why multiple sessions are the rule — not the exception
Hairs grow in cycles. Because only those in anagen are targeted, subsequent sessions are needed to catch the rest as they enter that phase.- Standard treatment plans call for 6–8 sessions (sometimes up to 10–12). That’s because only with repeated sessions does the laser systematically hit most follicles, gradually reducing hair density by 80–95%.
- Spacing matters. Sessions are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart — this aligns with natural hair-growth cycles, and helps maximise effectiveness while minimising skin stress.
- Maintenance may be needed long-term. Even after an initial course, occasional “touch-up” sessions (once or twice a year) help sustain smoothness — especially if hormonal changes or new hair growth intervene.
Bottom line: Laser hair reduction is more of a marathon than a sprint. One session starts the process — but it takes the full course for the best, lasting results.
