What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a simple, effective process in hair reduction, providing significant reduction in hair growth and is usually performed by and trained doctor or technician.
How does a laser work?
Laser stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." It emits pulses of light that target the melanin present in the hair follicle, destroys the hair at the root, and prevents regrowth by destroying the reproducing cells of the follicle. Since hair grows in different phases, laser treatment is most effective during the growth phase. Multiple sessions are required to treat each hair during its growth phase, with treatments spaced approximately every four weeks.
Advantages
1. Substantial Hair removal
Laser hair removal achieves up to 80–90% hair reduction, offering lasting results that make everyday life easier and smoother.
2. Money Saving
- No more money to be spent on Waxing treatments or Shaving Supplies
- Pay once for the laser treatment sessions
3. Time-Saving
It is very time-saving, as you do not require frequent waxing or shaving. Only 6-8 sessions of laser in a gap of 4-6 weeks can remarkably reduce hair regrowth. Maintenance sessions may only be required once or twice a year. Thus, you save a lot of time.
4. No More Ingrown Hairs
Laser hair removal can reduce the risk of ingrown hair.
5. Soft Skin
Laser hair removal targets hair follicles directly, promoting soft skin and reducing irritation.
6. Convenient
You can schedule your laser session any time without waiting for the regrowth of hair unlike waxing where you have to wait till the time hair is properly grown. Laser treatment targets shorter hair.
Environmentally Friendly Choice
Laser hair removal is the best alternative to disposable razors, shaving creams, and wax strips, which contribute to non-recyclable plastic waste.
Maximizing Results
To get the most out of your laser hair removal:
- Exfoliate gently three days after treatment to improve results.
- Stick to the schedule recommended by your doctor, with facial areas treated every four to five weeks and body areas every six to eight weeks, as hair growth cycles differ.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
- At your initial treatment the hair should be visible on the surface of the skin.
- As the laser is directed onto the hair, heat energy is drawn into the melanin, which in turn heats the rest of the hair shaft.
- The heat either weakness or completely destroys the hair follicle.
- As a result, the follicle detaches from the hair shaft.
- The hair sheds and, without the follicle, hair cannot regrow in the area.
1. Consultation
Your consultation with doctor is important to evaluate the colour of your skin, thickness of hair and skin should not be damaged, tanned or show any signs of infection. Then only doctor will advise you the number of sessions required as per your skin and hair type to get
2. Preparing the Treatment Area
The area selected for laser has to be prepared by cleaning or shaving if required so that hair follicles can be targeted.
3. Laser Application
During treatment you may feel mild heat which is usually tolerable and the laser device is moved gently over the area with a cooling gel.
4. Post-Treatment Care
After laser session a soothing cream is applied over the area treated so that I can sooth your skin and also sunscreen has to be applied to avoid sun damage.

What happens after laser hair removal treatment?
- Following laser hair removal treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately, but the treated area may appear a bit red and swollen. Use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated area exposed to the sun.
- Three to seven days after your hair removal treatment you may experience the regrowth of hair, but actually, most of the hair removed in treatment does not regrow. Between treatments, you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is ok to shave.
You will see some redness and swelling after treatment. This often looks like a mild sunburn. Applying a cool compress can help reduce your discomfort.
How long will the results of laser hair removal last?
Most patients remain hair free for months or even years. When some of the hair regrows, it will likely be less noticeable. To keep the area free of hair, patient may need maintenance laser sessions.
