Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair.

About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a fast, effective, and virtually painless way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin.
Using advanced laser technology, this treatment targets hair follicles with precision, permanently reducing unwanted hair and preventing future growth.
It’s safe for most areas of the body, from the face and legs to the underarms and bikini line.

How it Works

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light beams to target the melanin in hair follicles. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. 

Yes, when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner, laser hair removal is considered safe. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, which should be discussed during your consultation. 

Common areas include the face (upper lip, chin), arms, legs, back, chest, underarms, and bikini area. However, it can be used on almost any area of the body except near the eyes. 

There is typically no significant downtime after laser hair removal. Most people can resume normal activities immediately. However, it’s advisable to avoid sun exposure and strenuous exercise for a short period post-treatment.

Quick answers to questions you may have

1. Preparation

  • Shaving the Treatment Area:

    • The treatment area is typically shaved 24–48 hours before the procedure to allow the laser to focus on hair follicles beneath the skin without targeting hair above the surface.

  • Cleansing and Marking:

    • The area is cleaned, and in some cases, a grid or marker is applied to ensure precise targeting.

  • Protective Measures:

    • Both the patient and practitioner wear protective goggles to shield their eyes from the laser light.

2. Laser Application

  • Skin Cooling:

    • A cooling gel or device may be used to soothe the skin and enhance comfort during the procedure.

  • Laser Treatment:

    • The practitioner uses a handheld laser device that emits focused beams of light to target melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles. The light energy converts to heat, damaging the follicles to inhibit future growth.

  • Sensation:

    • Patients often describe the sensation as a slight snap or tingling, similar to a rubber band flicking against the skin. Advanced lasers or cooling technologies minimize discomfort.

3. Post-Treatment Care

  • Skin Cooling:

    • After the procedure, the area may be cooled with ice packs or soothing creams to reduce redness or swelling.

  • Duration:

    • Sessions typically last 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.

  • Follow-Up:

    • Multiple sessions are necessary (usually 4–8 treatments) to target hair in various growth cycles for optimal results.

Some areas may be more sensitive than others, but many laser devices include cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort.

Common side effects include redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. More serious side effects are rare but can include blistering or changes in skin pigmentation. 

Laser hair removal is most effective on individuals with light skin and dark hair due to the contrast. However, advances in technology have made it possible to treat a wider range of skin tones and hair colors, though results may vary.
