Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal works by emitting a light at a specific wavelength that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. This light is converted to heat energy, which disables the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth.

Yes, laser hair removal treatment is safe and comfortable. Skinology Centre uses the Soprano Ice diode laser system, which delivers a smooth pulse of light without sharp spikes in energy. This results in minimal discomfort during the treatment, often described as more comfortable than waxing or tweezing

Laser hair removal can safely treat almost any body part except for the small area inside the bony ridge of the eye socket.

Laser hair removal works best on individuals with light skin and coarse, dark hair. However, Skinology Centre has had superb results with individuals of all skin colors and hair types, including blonde, red, or light brown hair. It is safe for use even on tanned skin.

The duration of a laser hair removal treatment depends on the size of the treatment area. As a general guideline, larger areas like legs, backs, and arms take about an hour to an hour and a half, while smaller areas like the upper lip or tops of ears may require eight to 10 minutes.

Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions because hair grows in repeating cycles. The treatment can only target hair follicles in the actively growing phase, which means that several sessions are needed to target all follicles. A full body laser hair removal cost in Bangalore cost ranges from 8000 to 15000 INR.

On average, it takes about 6-8 sessions of laser hair removal, done at 4-5 week intervals, to achieve the desired results. However, individual results may vary based on factors such as hair growth type and volume, as well as any underlying medical or hormonal issues.

Excessive hair growth in women can result from normal biological changes throughout life, such as puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and old age. Other causes include certain medications, stress, and obesity. More serious causes can be abnormalities in the endocrine system, such as irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian disorders like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid abnormalities. If any of these conditions are suspected, a medical evaluation is recommended.

Laser hair removal may cause a small but manageable sensation described as a “pinch” or a “zap” when the laser is pulsed. However, most clients report that the discomfort is far less than that experienced with waxing, electrolysis, or tweezing.
