Many people feel tired of shaving, waxing, and dealing with bumps or ingrown hair. Some worry their skin will darken or become rough with repeated hair removal. Laser hair reduction offers a long-term way to slow down hair growth and make the hair finer, lighter, and easier to manage.

Most patients say, “I wish I had started this earlier.”
Because the skin becomes smoother and calmer with time, it is not irritated.

What Laser Hair Reduction Helps With

  • Thick or coarse hair on the face or body

  • Dark underarms

  • Ingrown hair on the bikini line

  • Razor bumps

  • Shadowing on the upper lip, chin, or beard area

  • Excess hair due to hormonal changes

These are the same concerns people share on online forums, especially fear of burns, uneven results, or “hair coming back thicker”. Good technique prevents these issues.

How Laser Hair Reduction Works

The laser targets the hair root using controlled light. The root absorbs this light, becoming weaker over time. As the sessions continue, the hair grows back more slowly and finer.

You do not get “instant” hair removal. You get a steady reduction with each session.

Dr. Salil chooses the laser settings based on:

  • Your skin tone

  • Hair thickness

  • Growth pattern

  • Sensitivity

This keeps the treatment safe and effective.

Common Areas Treated in Men and Women

Different people come in with different goals. Some want clean, smooth skin. Others want to control thick or fast-growing hair. A laser can be tailored for both.

For Women

Women usually choose laser for areas that get irritated with waxing or shaving, such as:

  • Upper lip
  • Chin
  • Underarms
  • Bikini line
  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Stomach line
  • Back or lower back (if hair is thick)

These areas often develop ingrown hair or dark patches. Laser helps calm the skin and, over time, makes the hair finer.

For Men

Men often want clean shaping rather than full removal. It helps reduce daily shaving and razor bumps. Common areas include:

  • Beard shaping
  • Neckline (front and back)
  • Cheek shaping
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Shoulders
  • Arms

A laser does not remove all hair in men. It controls thickness, reduces shadows, and makes grooming easier.

Dr. Salil explains which areas will respond best to your skin and hair type. This keeps the treatment plan realistic and personalised.

What Laser Hair Reduction Cannot Do

  • It cannot remove 100 per cent of hair.

  • It cannot work on white, grey, or very fine baby hair.

  • Results are slower if hormonal issues are not controlled.

Being clear about these limits avoids unrealistic expectations.

What Happens During the Session

  • The area is cleaned and shaved.

  • A cooling gel is applied.

  • The laser device moves across the skin in small sections.

Most people feel a warm, quick snap. It is tolerable because cooling is used.
 A session takes 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the area.

Aftercare and Recovery

There is usually no downtime.

You may notice:

  • Mild redness
  • Slight warmth
  • Follicular bumps (tiny raised dots)

These settle in a few hours.

Avoid:

  • Waxing or threading

  • Hot showers on the same day

  • Sun exposure for a few days

  • Gym or steam for 24 hours

Dr. Salil shares a simple skincare plan to help your skin recover fast.

Results and How Many Sessions You Need

Hair grows in cycles, so reduction happens in steps.
 Most people need 6 to 8 sessions for a noticeable reduction.
 Maintenance sessions every few months help keep the results steady.

Hair becomes:

  • Finer

  • Lighter

  • Slower to grow

  • Easier to manage
