Laser Treatments
Laser hair removal relies on the principle of selective photothermolysis to achieve targeted destruction of hair follicles. During treatment, the laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin pigment present in the hair shaft and follicle. This absorbed energy is converted into heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle while leaving surrounding skin structures unharmed. Over time, the damaged follicles undergo apoptosis, leading to a gradual reduction in hair density and thickness.
Key Advantages of Laser Hair Removal: One of the primary advantages of laser hair removal lies in its precision and efficiency. Unlike traditional methods such as shaving, waxing, or plucking, which only provide temporary relief, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results by targeting hair follicles at the root. Moreover, laser treatments can be customized to target specific areas of concern, from delicate facial hair to larger areas such as the legs, back, or bikini line. With each session, patients experience a progressive reduction in hair growth, leading to smoother, silkier skin without the hassle of daily maintenance.
We use Triple wave length diode laser for our hair removal patients with cooling tip technology. Triple wavelength laser hair removal device combine the strengths of multiple wavelengths to optimize treatment outcomes across diverse patient populations. Unlike conventional lasers, which typically emit light at a single wavelength, triple wavelength systems integrate three distinct wavelengths – Alexandrite (755 nm), Diode (810 nm), and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) – each targeting different components of the hair follicle with precision and efficacy.

Q. Is laser hair removal permanent?
A. Laser hair removal can lead to long-term hair reduction, but it is not always permanent. Some hair may grow back over time, but it is typically lighter, finer, and less noticeable. Maintenance treatments may be needed to maintain results.
Q. What areas of the body can be treated with laser hair removal?
A. Laser hair removal can be used to treat unwanted hair on various areas of the body, including the face (such as the upper lip and chin), underarms, arms, legs, bikini area, chest, back, and abdomen.
Q. How many sessions of laser hair removal are needed and is it painful?
A. The number of laser hair removal sessions needed depends on individual factors such as hair color, skin type, and the treatment area. Multiple sessions are usually required to target hair in different stages of growth. Sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart. Laser hair removal may cause some discomfort, often described as a snapping or stinging sensation, similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. However, most people tolerate the procedure well, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Q. Are there any side effects or risks associated with laser hair removal?
A. Side effects of laser hair removal are typically mild and temporary and may include redness, swelling, itching, and temporary pigment changes in the skin. Rarely, more serious side effects such as blistering, scarring, or changes in skin texture may occur.
