Unwanted hair
Unwanted hair on the face or body is common, and shaving, waxing or threading need repeating often.
In some people, extra hair growth can be linked to hormonal conditions such as PCOS, which is worth checking at your consultation.
How laser hair reduction works
Laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and heats the follicle, reducing its ability to grow hair. Hair grows in cycles, so several sessions are needed to treat each follicle at the right stage.
- Areas: face, underarms, arms, legs, back, bikini line and more
- Sessions: usually 6 to 8, a few weeks apart
- Settings: chosen for your skin type to reduce risk
- Maintenance: occasional top-up sessions may be needed

Questions
Frequently asked questions
More questions? Ask the clinic on WhatsApp.
Is laser hair reduction permanent?
It gives long-term reduction rather than complete, permanent removal. Some fine regrowth is common, and occasional top-ups may be needed.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel a quick snapping or warm sensation. Cooling makes it comfortable for most.
Is it safe for Indian skin?
Yes, when the settings are chosen for your skin type by a trained professional.
Why do I need several sessions?
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser works best on actively growing hair, so sessions are spaced to catch each cycle.
