I'm 22 and undergoing laser treatments to remove the facial hair that make me look like a bear. I have had only one session so far, but I took a Vitamin E pill on the day after it. Was I stupid to do this as the concentrated Vitamin E is gonna nourish the hair follicles again, thereby making them lose the effect of the laser light?

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I take 400 iu of Vitamin E daily, among other vitamins, & I have had 8 laser hair removal sessions over the last year with no side effects.
In case they did not explain very well how it works, only the hair that it is in a certain phase of its hair growth cycle is destroyed. Since each hair follicle is at a different phase of the growth cycle at any given time, you need to do many sessions approximately a month apart. Each time it will remove all the hair that is there, but only about 15% of them will not grow back. So go ahead and finish your treatments as scheduled so it will get all of them. I'm sure you will be delighted with the results when you are all finished.
Good luck :)
p.s. laser hair removal also works very well on other areas of the body.
