Full-Body Laser Hair Removal Near Tysons, VA: Is It Worth It Compared With Shaving and Waxing?

You’ve been shaving since you were 12, switched to waxing after years of razor burn and nicks, and you still get ingrown hairs along your bikini line and upper lip. Between $50 to $70 for each wax and about $30 a month in razors and shaving cream, you’re starting to wonder whether full-body laser hair removal near Tysons, VA would cost less in the long run. Our laser hair removal page is a good first read.

Here’s how to weigh it with our team at our VIP med spa on Williams Drive in Fairfax, a short drive from Tysons.

Is Full-Body Laser Hair Removal Near Tysons, VA Cheaper Than Waxing Over Time?

Start with what you spend now. If you wax every four weeks at $50 to $70, that’s about $650 to $910 a year, plus around $360 in razors and shaving cream. At your complimentary consultation, our front desk can quote your full-body series, so you can see where the two lines cross. Be sure to ask about our flash sales, too.

Can Laser Help My Ingrown Hairs and Razor Burn?

Typically, yes. At the start of your consultation, you and Emilia Montalvo, LME, our master aesthetician and laser specialist, will look at your bikini line and upper lip together. Next, she’ll take a Skintel reading of your skin before she chooses your settings. Then, you’ll feel quick zaps, similar to a light rubber band snap, with built-in cooling to soothe your skin. Be sure to point out any dark marks the ingrowns have left, too.

Will I Still Need Razors After My Laser Series?

Probably a few. In the meantime, you can shave between sessions, but skip waxing. Your series will typically take six to eight treatments, and any hair that returns is usually lighter and finer. Keep in mind that most people need a maintenance session once or twice a year. Based on your consultation, Emilia will let you know what that upkeep could look like for each area.
