Are you fed up with shaving, tweezing, waxing, or any other temporary hair removal methods for unwanted facial or body hair? Laser hair removal can be the perfect solution for you!
Waxing, epilating, or shaving off undesirable hair is costly in the long run and associated with monthly hassles. These hair removal methods can annoyingly irritate the skin and even encourage painful ingrown hair. Furthermore, they can be worse when the skin is left with bumps, spots, or scars, hence affecting the skin’s appearance and lowering self-esteem. Thankfully, with laser hair removal, anyone can get their excess hair removed safely, simply, effectively, and quickly without any unpleasant side effects to achieve healthy, smooth skin with outstanding hair reduction for years to come. The treatment usually lasts for over 6-8 laser sessions performed every 4-6 weeks.

Laser hair removal is a preferred option for both men and women. While it’s more popular among women but is increasingly becoming common in men too who seek chest, back, or beard hair removal. People can expect to experience about 90-95% of their facial or body hair reduction. Popular treatment areas include legs, chest, back, underarms, full arms, bikini area, or any other hairy body part except the eyebrows.
Patients with contrasting hair and skin color or light skin and dark hair tone are the ideal candidates for laser hair removal. This is because the laser light will be focused only on the melanin present in hair to destroy the unwanted hair follicles and not absorbed by the melanin of the skin. It is also vital that patients seeking laser hair removal must not be suffering from active skin infections, skin rashes, skin tanning, or open wounds.
How to prepare for laser hair removal?
Before undertaking laser hair removal, skin and hair experts always advise to go for an initial consultation. The purpose of this first visit is to check for the candidacy of the patient by discussing their health status, current intake of medications, and medical records. A small patch test may be performed by the laser technician to ensure that the laser does not adversely affect the skin.
Prior to the procedure, the patient must avoid the following:
- Do not overexpose the skin to direct sunlight or use tanning beds.
- Avoid self-tanning products for at least a week before.
- Do not bleach, wax, have electrolysis, or use depilatory creams.
- Do not consume anti-inflammatory medications.
- Refrain from smoking at least 4 hours before treatment.
What to expect during laser hair removal?
Once the laser machine is ready, its treatment head is hovered over the clean and numbed treatment area and activated. A laser beam is passed through the skin to reach the individual hair follicles. It carries out selectively photothermolysis of the melanin of hair, thereby eliminating the hair roots and the blood flow from connective tissues present at the base of the undesirable hair. This inhibits or delays future hair growth and allows the shedding of the existing, actively growing hair. During this treatment, the patient may report a hot tingling sensation on the skin surface often like an elastic band flicking against the skin. However, the laser has an attached cooling system to soothe the heated skin and make the procedure comfortable throughout.
What happens following laser hair removal?
Immediately after the first session, the hair follicle present in the skin may appear slightly sore (edema) or red (erythema) that lasts for only a few hours. After about 2-3 weeks, the treated hair becomes dead and begins to shed. New hair may grow in places that are usually less coarse. With subsequent laser treatment, depending upon the hair and skin type, the hair follicles may stop producing hair new hair and appear patchy and by 8 sessions, the area may show about 90% hair reduction. The cost of laser treatment in Delhi can vary from patient to patient, based on the target area, length of the skin to be targeted, number of sessions performed and experience of the doctor.
Aftercare:
- Patients can take bath but the treated area must be gently washed at least for the first 24 hours.
- Wear sunscreen and sun-protective clothing to prevent UV exposure to the treated area.
- Hot baths, saunas, or showers are not advised for a minimum of 48 hours.
- Do not indulge in exercises for 48 hours.
- After axillar (underarms) laser hair removal avoid the usage of scented powder or deodorant for 24 hours.
- Use clinic prescribed exfoliation wash to allow shedding of hairs faster without them becoming ingrown after waiting for a minimum of 1 week.
