The Ultimate Guide to Waxing: Cost, Pain, Regrowth, Brazilian Waxing & Waxing vs Laser Hair Removal

 

Thinking about waxing?

Whether you are considering your first Brazilian wax, wondering how long waxing lasts, dealing with ingrown hairs, or trying to decide between waxing and laser hair removal, this guide covers nearly everything you need to know.

Waxing remains one of the most popular temporary hair-removal methods because it removes hair from the root and can leave the skin feeling smoother for longer than shaving.

But waxing also has one major limitation:

The hair eventually grows back.

That means waxing becomes an ongoing routine for many people.

For clients who are tired of waxing every few weeks, laser hair removal may offer a longer-term alternative.

At DMV Laser Beauty Clinic in Tysons Corner, Virginia, we regularly see clients who spent years waxing before deciding they wanted to reduce the amount of hair growing back in the first place.

This guide explains both options so you can decide what makes sense for you.

 

What Is Waxing?

Waxing is a temporary hair-removal method that removes the hair from the follicle rather than cutting the hair at the surface.

Warm or hard wax is applied to the treatment area and removed quickly, pulling the hair from the root.

Common waxing areas include:

• Brazilian

• Bikini

• Underarms

• Legs

• Arms

• Upper lip

• Chin

• Face

• Back

• Chest

• Stomach

• Eyebrows

Because the hair is removed from the follicle, the skin generally stays smoother longer than it would after shaving.

However, the follicle itself remains capable of producing another hair.

That is why waxing must be repeated.

 

How Long Does Waxing Last?

For many people, waxing results last approximately 3 to 6 weeks.

However, this varies considerably.

Hair growth depends on:

• Treatment area

• Hormones

• Genetics

• Age

• Hair density

• Individual hair-growth cycles

• How regularly you wax

You may start noticing some hairs before your next scheduled waxing appointment because not every hair grows at exactly the same time.

This is also why someone can receive a very clean wax and still notice new hairs appearing relatively soon afterward.

Those hairs may have been in a different stage of the growth cycle during the original appointment.

 

How Often Should You Wax?

Many people wax approximately every:

3–6 weeks

depending on the area and individual hair growth.

Brazilian waxing is commonly repeated around every four to six weeks.

Facial hair may sometimes require more frequent maintenance because facial hair can grow differently and can also be influenced by hormones.

The important thing to understand is that waxing is an ongoing hair-management method.

It does not permanently stop the follicle from producing hair.

 

Does Waxing Permanently Remove Hair?

No.

Waxing removes the hair from the follicle, but it generally does not permanently destroy the follicle.

The hair can therefore grow again.

Repeated waxing may sometimes make certain hairs appear finer or less noticeable over time, but waxing should not be considered permanent hair removal.

If your goal is long-term reduction in hair growth, laser hair removal is specifically designed for that purpose.

 

Does Waxing Make Hair Grow Back Thicker?

Usually, no.

Waxing does not normally cause hair to become thicker simply because it was waxed.

This misconception often comes from comparing waxing with shaving.

When you shave, the razor cuts the hair at the surface and leaves a blunt edge.

As the hair grows back, that blunt edge can temporarily make it feel thicker or rougher.

Waxing pulls the hair from the follicle instead.

 

Does Waxing Make Hair Grow Back Thinner?

Sometimes people feel that their hair becomes softer or less noticeable after repeated waxing.

Repeated trauma to certain follicles may affect some hairs over time.

However, results vary considerably.

You should not rely on waxing as a permanent hair-reduction treatment.

If reducing future hair growth is the goal, laser hair removal is usually the more relevant treatment to investigate.

 

Does Waxing Hurt?

Waxing can be uncomfortable because multiple hairs are being pulled from their follicles simultaneously.

Pain depends on:

• Treatment area

• Hair thickness

• Hair density

• Individual pain tolerance

• Skin sensitivity

• Wax technique

• How long the hair is

• Whether it is your first wax

Certain areas tend to be more sensitive than others.

Brazilian waxing, for example, is usually considered more uncomfortable than waxing the arms or legs.

The discomfort is usually brief because each section of wax is removed quickly.

 

What Is a Brazilian Wax?

A Brazilian wax removes most or all pubic hair from the front and back of the bikini area.

Depending on the salon and the client's preference, a small strip or triangle may sometimes be left in the front.

A full Brazilian typically includes:

• Front pubic area

• Labia

• Bikini line

• Perianal area

Always ask the salon exactly what is included because definitions can vary.

 

How Long Does a Brazilian Wax Last?

Many clients repeat Brazilian waxing approximately every 4–6 weeks.

You may notice some hair sooner because individual hairs are in different growth cycles.

The first few waxing appointments may also feel less predictable if you have previously been shaving.

 

Brazilian Wax vs Brazilian Laser Hair Removal

This is where the difference becomes important.

​

Brazilian Wax

Wax removes the hair from the follicle.

The follicle remains active.

The hair eventually grows back.

You schedule another wax.

​

Brazilian Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal targets pigment associated with the hair and delivers energy into the follicle.

The goal is to progressively reduce future hair growth across a series of treatments.

Because only certain hairs are responsive during a given growth stage, multiple laser sessions are required.

At DMV Laser Beauty Clinic in Tysons Corner, Virginia, Brazilian laser hair removal is:

$65 per session

The Brazilian service includes the perianal area.

There are:

No packages.
No contracts.
No requirement to purchase multiple sessions in advance.

You simply pay per treatment.

 

How Much Does a Brazilian Wax Cost?

Brazilian waxing prices vary significantly depending on the salon, location and provider.

A Brazilian wax can commonly cost somewhere around $50–$100+ per appointment in many metropolitan areas.

Tips may also be additional.

If you wax every four to six weeks, the cost can accumulate over time.

For example, someone paying $70 every five weeks would spend approximately:

$728 per year

Over five years:

Approximately $3,640

And you would still need to continue waxing if you wanted to remain hair-free.

This is one reason some regular waxers begin comparing waxing with laser hair removal.

 

Is Laser Hair Removal More Expensive Than Waxing?

Not necessarily.

Laser is frequently perceived as an expensive treatment because many clinics sell large prepaid packages.

But laser pricing varies dramatically.

At DMV Laser Beauty Clinic, we use pay-per-session pricing.

 

For example:

Brazilian Laser Hair Removal

$65

Underarms

$40

Full Face

$55

Full Arms

$80

Full Legs

$100

Full Body

$200 first visit / $250 thereafter

There are no contracts and no package requirement.

For someone already spending $60, $70, $80 or more every few weeks on waxing, the price difference may be much smaller than expected.

 

Waxing vs Laser Hair Removal

Here is the simplest way to understand the difference.

WaxingLaser Hair Removal

Pulls hair from the follicleTargets the hair follicle with laser energy

TemporaryDesigned for long-term hair reduction

Hair grows backHair growth generally becomes progressively reduced

Usually repeated every few weeksUsually completed as a series of treatments

Hair must grow before waxingHair is shaved before laser

Can cause ingrown hairsMay help reduce hair-related ingrown bumps over time

Ongoing maintenanceMaintenance may eventually become occasional

Neither option is automatically right for everyone.

Some people love waxing.

Others eventually get tired of scheduling it every month.

 

Why Do People Switch From Waxing to Laser?

There are several common reasons.

1. They Get Tired of Hair Growing Back

Waxing removes the current hair.

It does not stop the follicle from producing another one.

Laser treatments are performed with the goal of progressively reducing hair growth.

2. They Are Tired of Growing Hair Out Before Waxing

One frustrating part of waxing is that the hair usually needs to be long enough for the wax to grip.

That means clients often have to allow some visible growth before another waxing appointment.

Laser clients do the opposite.

You shave before laser.

You don't need to walk around growing the hair out just so it can be removed again.

3. Ingrown Hairs

Waxing can sometimes be associated with ingrown hairs.

After a hair is removed, a new hair can occasionally curl or become trapped beneath the skin.

This is particularly common in areas with thicker or curlier hair.

Brazilian areas, bikini lines, necks and beards can be especially prone to ingrown hairs.

Because laser hair removal reduces the amount and thickness of hair growing from treated follicles, many clients seek laser specifically because repeated shaving or waxing has been associated with bumps and ingrown hairs.

Individual results vary.

4. They Are Tired of Monthly Appointments

Waxing every four or five weeks might not sound inconvenient at first.

But over several years, that can mean dozens of appointments.

Laser also requires a treatment series, but the goal is different.

The goal is not simply to remove today's hair.

It is to progressively reduce future hair growth.

5. Cost

Regular waxing can add up.

If you pay:

$70 every five weeks

that is approximately:

$728 per year.

Over three years:

$2,184.

Over five years:

$3,640.

And the hair can still continue growing.

That doesn't automatically mean laser will cost less for every person, but frequent waxers should compare the long-term numbers instead of simply comparing one waxing appointment with one laser appointment.

 

Waxing vs Shaving

Shaving and waxing are both temporary.

The difference is where the hair is removed.

Shaving

Cuts hair at the surface of the skin.

Waxing

Pulls the hair from the follicle.

Because the follicle remains intact in both cases, the hair can eventually grow again.

Shaving is generally faster and cheaper.

Waxing can provide smoother skin for longer.

Shaving vs Laser Hair Removal

Unlike waxing, shaving does not interfere with laser hair removal.

In fact:

You are normally supposed to shave before laser hair removal.

That often surprises people.

Laser needs to target the hair associated with the follicle beneath the skin.

Shaving removes the hair above the surface while leaving the follicular target intact.

Can You Wax Before Laser Hair Removal?

Generally, you should stop waxing before starting laser hair removal.

Waxing pulls the hair from the follicle.

Laser works most effectively when there is appropriate pigment associated with the hair in the follicle to absorb the laser energy.

For this reason, clients transitioning from waxing to laser are usually instructed to:

Stop waxing.
Stop tweezing.
Stop epilating.
Start shaving instead.

Your laser provider can tell you how long they want you to wait after your last waxing appointment before beginning treatment.

Can You Wax Between Laser Hair Removal Sessions?

Generally, no.

If you are undergoing a laser hair-removal series, waxing or tweezing between appointments is typically discouraged because you are removing the hair that the laser treatment is intended to target.

Instead:

Shave between treatments if necessary.

​

What Happens If I Have Been Waxing for Years?

You can still transition to laser hair removal.

Long-term waxing does not automatically prevent you from receiving laser.

You simply need to stop pulling the hair from the root and allow an appropriate period before treatment.

Once laser treatments begin, shaving generally replaces waxing.

 

Do You Need Hair Growth for Laser Hair Removal?

No.

This is one of the biggest differences between waxing and laser.

You don't need to walk into your laser appointment with long visible hair.

Actually, most laser providers want the opposite.

We instruct our clients to arrive:

 

Fully shaved.

Treatment areas should generally be shaved the day before or the morning of the appointment.

Should You Shave Before Laser Hair Removal?

Yes.

At DMV Laser Beauty Clinic, treatment areas should be fully shaved before your appointment.

Leaving long hair above the skin can interfere with treatment and may increase unnecessary surface heating.

Clients should also arrive with clean skin.

No:

• Deodorant

• Lotion

• Oil

• Cream

• Makeup

• Self-tanner

on the treatment area.

​

How Long After Waxing Can You Get Laser Hair Removal?

There needs to be enough time for hair to return to the follicle after waxing.

The exact waiting period can vary.

Many laser providers recommend waiting several weeks after waxing before beginning treatment.

Instead of waxing again, shave any visible hair once you are preparing to transition into laser.

Your provider can advise you based on the area being treated.

 

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy that is absorbed by pigment associated with the hair.

That energy is converted into heat.

The goal is to damage structures involved in future hair growth while minimizing injury to the surrounding skin.

Because hair exists in different growth stages, not every follicle can be effectively treated during a single appointment.

That is why laser hair removal requires multiple sessions.

​

How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Do You Need?

Most people require a series of treatments.

A common treatment course may be around:

8–12+ sessions

depending on:

• Hair color

• Hair thickness

• Skin type

• Treatment area

• Hormones

• Growth cycle

• Laser settings

• Individual response

Some people need fewer.

Some need more.

Hormonal areas such as the face may require ongoing maintenance.

How Often Is Laser Hair Removal Done?

Treatment intervals depend on the area.

A common schedule is approximately:

Every 4–6 weeks

 

Does Laser Hair Removal Work on All Hair Colors?

Laser depends heavily on pigment.

Dark hair generally responds better because there is more melanin available to absorb the laser energy.

Blonde, white, gray and some red hairs may respond poorly because they contain less of the pigment the laser needs to target.

A consultation can help determine whether your hair is a good candidate.

 

What Laser Does DMV Laser Beauty Clinic Use?

We use the:

Best Globally, Candela GentleMax Pro Plus

The GentleMax Pro Plus is a professional laser platform that combines:

755 nm Alexandrite

and

1064 nm Nd:YAG

These wavelengths allow providers to choose appropriate treatment options for a broad range of skin types and hair characteristics.

We also use cooling for comfort during treatment.

Why Does Laser Type Matter?

Not every device marketed as "laser hair removal" is the same.

Professional platforms differ in:

• Wavelength

• Spot size

• Pulse duration

• Fluence

• Cooling

• Speed

• Skin-type compatibility

The treatment settings should be selected according to the client's:

• Skin type

• Hair thickness

• Hair color

• Treatment area

• Tanning history

• Previous response

Laser hair removal is not simply pressing a button.

Appropriate patient selection and settings matter.

Alexandrite vs Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal

The GentleMax Pro Plus provides both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths.

Alexandrite 755 nm

Alexandrite is commonly used for appropriate lighter skin types with pigmented hair.

Nd:YAG 1064 nm

Nd:YAG penetrates more deeply and is commonly used when treating darker skin types because of its lower melanin absorption compared with Alexandrite.

The provider determines the appropriate wavelength and settings based on the individual client.

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

Sensation varies.

People commonly describe laser pulses as:

• Warm snaps

• Small rubber-band sensations

• Quick heat

• Mild stinging

Some areas are considerably more sensitive than others.

Brazilian areas, upper lips and ankles can feel stronger than larger body areas.

Cooling can make treatment more comfortable.

Does Brazilian Laser Hair Removal Hurt More Than Waxing?

This varies from person to person.

Waxing pulls multiple hairs out simultaneously.

Laser produces individual pulses of heat.

Some clients consider waxing more uncomfortable.

Others find certain laser areas sensitive.

The sensations are different, so there isn't one answer that applies to everyone.

Does Laser Hair Removal Cause Ingrown Hairs?

Laser hair removal is frequently sought by people who experience ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing.

As the number and thickness of hairs are reduced, there may be fewer hairs capable of becoming trapped beneath the skin.

However, no treatment can guarantee that someone will never experience another ingrown hair.

Can Laser Hair Removal Help Razor Bumps?

Laser hair removal is often considered by people who develop recurring shaving bumps because reducing the amount of hair can reduce the need for frequent shaving.

This can be especially relevant for:

• Bikini areas

• Brazilian areas

• Neck

• Beard

• Chin

• Underarms

A consultation is appropriate if there is active irritation or another skin condition.

Is Laser Hair Removal Worth It If You Already Wax?

If you enjoy waxing and don't mind repeating it regularly, there is nothing wrong with continuing.

But if you're thinking:

“I am tired of doing this every month.”

Then laser is worth comparing.

Ask yourself:

How many waxing appointments do I have every year?

How much do I spend?

How long have I been doing it?

How much will I spend over the next five years?

Do I hate growing the hair out before waxing?

Do I struggle with ingrown hairs?

Would I rather reduce the amount of hair growing in the first place?

Those questions often make the decision much clearer.

The Real Cost of Waxing Over Time

Let's look at a simple example.

Suppose Brazilian waxing costs:

$70 every five weeks.

That equals approximately ten appointments per year.

Approximate annual cost:

$700+

After three years:

$2,100+

After five years:

$3,500+

After ten years:

$7,000+

And that's only one area.

Someone waxing:

Brazilian
Underarms
Legs
Face

could spend significantly more.

This doesn't automatically mean laser will be cheaper for every person.

But it does mean that people who have been waxing for years should calculate what the routine is actually costing them.

Waxing Cost Calculator

Want to estimate how much waxing is costing you?

Use this formula:

Wax Price × Appointments Per Year × Number of Years

For example:

$75 waxing appointment
× 10 appointments per year
× 5 years

=

$3,750

Now compare that with the cost of treating the same area with laser.

If You Already Wax, Read This Before Your Next Appointment

If you have been thinking about trying laser hair removal:

Don't wax again yet.

Once you wax, the hair is pulled from the follicle.

That means you may need to wait for it to regrow before laser treatment.

Instead:

Stop waxing.

Let the hair return.

Then begin shaving instead.

Once the hair and follicle are ready for treatment, laser can begin targeting it.

Waxing Before Vacation vs Laser Before Vacation

Waxing can create temporary smoothness relatively quickly, which is why many people wax immediately before vacations.

Laser is different.

Laser is a process.

You shouldn't expect one laser treatment to make you permanently hair-free before vacation.

If you have a major trip, wedding or event several months away, starting laser earlier generally gives you more opportunity to complete multiple sessions.

Should I Start Laser Before Summer?

You can receive laser hair removal throughout the year, but excessive sun exposure and tanning can complicate treatment.

Avoiding tanning is important because laser settings are selected partly according to the amount of pigment in the skin.

Starting during fall or winter can be convenient because many people naturally have less sun exposure.

But treatment can also be performed during other seasons when appropriate precautions are followed.

Can You Laser Over Self-Tanner?

You should tell your provider if you have recently used self-tanner.

Artificial tanning products can alter the appearance of the skin and may affect treatment safety.

Your provider may ask you to allow the self-tanner to completely fade before treatment.

Can You Wax While Using Retinol?

Retinoids and exfoliating products can increase skin sensitivity.

Waxing skin that is overly sensitized may increase the risk of irritation or skin lifting.

Always tell your waxing provider about:

• Retinoids

• Prescription acne medications

• Chemical peels

• Exfoliating acids

• Recent resurfacing treatments

Waxing Aftercare

After waxing, the skin may temporarily become:

• Red

• Sensitive

• Warm

• Slightly swollen around follicles

General aftercare may include:

Avoiding excessive heat temporarily.

Avoiding friction.

Avoiding heavily fragranced products.

Avoiding picking at the skin.

Following your waxing provider's instructions.

Laser Hair Removal Aftercare

Immediately after laser hair removal, some people experience temporary redness or follicular swelling.

Clients are generally instructed to:

Keep the area cool.

Avoid unnecessary heat.

Avoid aggressive exfoliation.

Avoid excessive sun exposure.

Use gentle products.

Follow the specific instructions provided by the clinic.

Waxing vs Epilating

An epilator mechanically pulls multiple hairs from the root.

In that sense, it has something in common with waxing.

Both temporarily remove hair from the follicle.

Neither is generally considered permanent hair reduction.

If you begin laser hair removal, you should normally stop epilating because the laser needs an appropriate follicular hair target.

Waxing vs Sugaring

Sugaring and waxing are both temporary hair-removal methods.

Sugaring uses a sugar-based paste rather than conventional wax.

Technique and client preference vary.

But the fundamental limitation is similar:

The hair is removed.

The follicle can produce another hair.

Is Waxing Better Than Laser?

There isn't one answer for everybody.

Waxing may be better for someone who:

Only wants occasional hair removal.

Doesn't want laser treatment.

Has hair that won't respond well to laser.

Doesn't mind regular waxing appointments.

Laser may make more sense for someone who:

Waxes constantly.

Shaves constantly.

Experiences frequent ingrown hairs.

Wants less hair over time.

Wants long-term hair reduction.

Is tired of growing hair out between waxing appointments.

Can You Switch From Laser Back to Waxing?

Yes.

Laser hair removal does not prevent you from waxing in the future.

However, you generally should not wax while actively completing a laser series because removing the follicular hair can interfere with upcoming treatments.

Why Is My Hair Still Growing After Laser?

Laser hair removal is not a one-treatment process.

Hair grows in cycles.

Only a portion of the hairs may be in an ideal stage for treatment during any one appointment.

That is why repeated treatments are scheduled over several months.

You may also notice treated hairs gradually shedding rather than disappearing instantly.

Why Does Facial Hair Sometimes Need More Laser Sessions?

Facial hair can be strongly influenced by hormones.

Areas such as:

Chin
Upper lip
Jawline
Neck

may require more treatments and potentially ongoing maintenance.

This is especially important to understand before beginning facial laser hair removal.

Laser can reduce appropriate pigmented hair, but hormonal stimulation can influence future hair growth.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Darker Skin?

Laser hair removal can be performed on a wide variety of skin types when appropriate equipment, wavelength and settings are used.

The 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength is commonly used for darker skin types because it has lower melanin absorption in the epidermis compared with shorter wavelengths.

Skin type, tanning history, hair characteristics and medical history should all be evaluated before treatment.

Why We Use Candela GentleMax Pro Plus

We chose the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus because it gives us access to two established laser wavelengths within one professional platform:

755 nm Alexandrite

and

1064 nm Nd:YAG.

The system allows treatment parameters to be adjusted according to the client's skin and hair characteristics.

We also use cooling for additional comfort.

Does waxing make hair thicker?

Waxing generally does not cause hair to grow back thicker.
