Waxing is a subscription service that happens roughly every third week, depending on your available time, interest, or patience. This is different from laser hair removal, which targets the follicle directly. After several sessions, hair growth reduces to a point where most people no longer think about it.

At The Skin Firm, Laser Hair Removal is done using medical-grade equipment that is approved by the US-FDA. Dr. Karishma Singh will supervise all treatment plans, and the sessions will be changed depending on the skin tone, hair texture, and area to be treated.

The laser light is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle, and it transforms into heat that kills the follicle's capacity to grow hair. As follicles can only be attacked when in their active growth phase, not all follicles are in the growth phase at the same time, and thus multiple sessions are required to cover the entire population.

Most people need to undergo six to eight sessions, and these are separated by four to six weeks of time. The reduction is maintained after the course by an occasional top-up session once or twice a year. Permanent reduction is seen in most patients, 80 to 90 percent. The regrowth is typically fine and light.

The feeling in the course of treatment is a tingling or sharpness. The modern machines have a cooling mechanism that regulates heat at the surface of the skin. The analogy of waxing is not near.

The melanin of the Indian skin (Fitzpatrick Types IV-V) is not only in the hair follicle but also in the tissue surrounding the hair. A laser that has been calibrated to provide a light-skinned individual will produce a laser with energy that is absorbed excessively by the darker surface tissue and may result in either burns or hyperpigmentation following the treatment. This renders calibration to be the most critical consideration to safe laser hair removal in Indian skin.

The majority of patients at the NIBM clinic fall in this skin tone range. Equipment and energy settings are selected specifically for it. A patch test before the first full session confirms how the skin responds at the planned settings. Patients who have had laser elsewhere and experienced pigmentation issues often come to the Mohammed Wadi clinic for a re-assessment, and settings are rebuilt from scratch

Underarms and upper lips react fast and frequently display a considerable reduction in laser hair removal after the third or fourth treatment. The additional sessions may be necessary for the hormonal hair on the chin since these follicles are actively stimulated. In the case of the entire body, the sessions are the same; the sessions are only increased in length.

Before Your Session

Bathe the day before: shave the treatment area. At least four weeks beforehand, one should avoid waxing, threading, or using depilatory creams. The laser should be able to target the follicle. Do not expose the area of treatment to direct sunlight for two weeks before treatment.

During

The area is cleansed. Eye protective wear is available. Light pulses are provided by the handpiece and have an in-built cooling mechanism. Little spaces require less than ten minutes. Full body classes last about an hour.

After

It is normal to experience redness and heat in the area of laser hair removal for several hours. During the 24 to 48 hours, avoid heat, exercise, and direct sun. SPF in the morning is no exception. In response to the treatment, the hair in the treated area sheds during the next two to three weeks.
