Laser hair reduction for Women

What to expect?

On an average, a patient needs about 6-10 sittings for best results (this may varydepending on the area being treated, the thickness of hair, and underlying hormonaldisorders). With each sitting, you will notice the hair in the treated area becomes finer andthinner and takes longer to grow back. The sittings are spaced out about 1-2 months apart, so you may take about 8 monthson an average to see full results.

How should you prepare for it?

Avoid waxing, bleaching and epilation for atleast one month prior to your session. Ifyou must, it is safe to shave your hair. However we don’t advice shaving for the weekbefore a session, as we need to assess your hair growth before each sitting.

What to expect in a session?

Our sessions follow the utmost hygiene and medical precautions to protect your skin.We first mark out the areas to be treated, gently shave the areas and then proceed withthe treatment. Though usually painless, in some patients, some areas such as the upper lip or thebikini area may be a little sensitive. For these areas, we can apply a numbing cream toensure a painless experience for you. The time taken for different areas depends on the surface area being treated. Forexample, just doing your upper lip takes 5 minutes, your underarms may take 10-15minutes while full legs may take about an hour owing to the large area being treated.

After the procedure:

To soothe the skin, we apply ice packs followed by a soothing cream to the treated areas. Weprescribe certain creams to be used for 2-3 days after the procedure. You must use sunscreensand protect your skin from the sun for a few days after each session.
