Laser Hair Removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses highly focused laser light to remove unwanted hair from the face and body. The laser targets the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles, destroying them at the root without damaging the surrounding skin. This results in permanent hair reduction and long-term smoothness.
Laser hair removal can treat multiple areas, including the face, arms, legs, chest, back, underarms, and bikini line.
India has become a leading destination for laser hair removal, offering advanced laser technologies, dermatology experts, and affordable packages for both men and women.
You may consider laser hair removal if you:
Have thick or dark unwanted hair on visible areas.
Experience ingrown hairs or skin irritation from waxing or shaving.
Desire a permanent solution for hair reduction.
Have sensitive skin prone to rashes or folliculitis.
Wish to maintain smooth, low-maintenance skin.
Unwanted or excessive hair growth may be due to:
Genetics: inherited hair growth patterns.
Hormonal imbalances (e.g., PCOS in women).
Certain medications (steroids, hormone therapies).
Endocrine disorders affecting testosterone or estrogen levels.
Post-pregnancy or menopause hormonal changes.
Laser hair removal is suitable for both medical and cosmetic reasons, providing a long-term alternative to shaving, waxing, or threading.
Consult a certified dermatologist if you have:
Abnormal or excessive hair growth (hirsutism).
Hair growth due to hormonal imbalance or PCOS.
Repeated ingrown hairs can lead to infection or pigmentation.
Desire to permanently reduce body or facial hair.
Before starting treatment, your dermatologist will:
Review your medical history and medications.
Examine hair colour, skin type, and density.
Perform a patch test to check skin response.
Discuss the number of sessions required based on your hair cycle and the area being treated.
This personalised approach ensures maximum safety and long-term results.
Do’s:
Apply aloe vera gel or a cold compress for soothing relief.
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
Gently exfoliate after a few days to avoid ingrown hairs.
Stay hydrated and moisturise regularly.
Follow your session schedule for best results.
Don’ts:
Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading between sessions.
Don’t use hot showers or saunas for 24–48 hours.
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning.
Refrain from applying perfumed products or makeup on treated skin for a day.
