Laser Hair Removal

Yes, laser hair removal in Mumbai is considered safe. The advanced technology used in this treatment ensures that the laser beam is specifically designed for the selective destruction of hair follicles while avoiding any damage to the surrounding skin. This precision makes it a reliable option for effective hair removal.

Laser hair removal in Mumbai uses a special cooling tip on the laser device. This tip helps keep the skin cool during the treatment, reducing the chance of getting hurt. It also has a mild numbing effect. To make the process more comfortable, a numbing lotion is usually applied to the skin beforehand.

Hair laser treatment in Mumbai works best on hair follicles that are in the active growth phase, when there is a lot of melanin for the laser to target. However, not all hairs are in this growth phase at the same time. Hairs go through three different phases: active growth, regression, and resting. Since the laser targets only the actively growing hairs, you may need more than one session to effectively remove hair follicles. Sometimes, a single session might provide enough improvement to meet your needs. On average, three to five sessions are required, depending on your skin and hair type. Treatments are usually spaced about four to five weeks apart.

Yes, there are some pre-treatment restrictions for hair laser treatment in Mumbai. Having a suntan can make the laser treatment less effective and increase the risk of side effects such as blisters or burning. Therefore, it’s important to avoid sunbathing and tanning before your treatment. Additionally, because the laser targets the melanin in the hair follicles, you should avoid waxing, plucking, or electrolysis for several weeks before the procedure. The treatment should also be postponed if you have active cold sores or an outbreak of the Herpes Simplex virus.

Yes, there can be some complications from hair laser treatment in Mumbai. While rare, some individuals may experience temporary lightening or darkening of the skin after the treatment. However, there are no known permanent complications associated with the diode laser hair removal system used in these procedures.

The ideal candidate for laser hair removal in Mumbai typically has dark hair and light skin. Dark hairs absorb more of the laser light, while lighter skin allows the laser to penetrate the follicle more effectively. Although darker skin can have a higher risk of pigmentation changes after the procedure, the Light Sheer diode laser’s unique longer wavelength at 810 nm makes it safe for treating darker skin tones. No other hair removal laser offers this advantage. However, gray or blonde hairs are less responsive to the Light Sheer system.

Laser hair removal in Mumbai differs from electrolysis in several key ways. Electrolysis uses an electric current delivered through a small needle or electrode inserted into the skin to target the hair follicle. This method has some drawbacks: it can damage the surrounding skin, potentially causing scarring, and because the hair follicle is not visible during treatment, it’s challenging to ensure the electric current is correctly applied. Additionally, electrolysis can be quite painful. In comparison, laser hair removal is generally faster, less painful, and more cost-effective, making it a preferred choice over electrolysis.

Yes, the diode laser used for hair laser treatment in Mumbai is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction. In April 1999, the Coherent Light Sheer diode laser system received FDA approval as an effective method for long-term hair reduction. This makes it a reliable choice for those seeking permanent results in hair removal treatments
