Laser hair removal uses a laser that is absorbed by the pigment in hair. The heat damages the hair follicle so hair grows back finer or more slowly. It is an alternative to repeated shaving or waxing, which can cause irritation, razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
What to expect honestly. The American Academy of Dermatology says laser hair removal works better on dark hair and light skin, that darker skin or lighter hair needs very careful treatment, that most people need 2 to 6 treatments about 4 to 6 weeks apart, and that results can last months or years, with maintenance sometimes needed. Results vary and cannot be promised.
Undri is in south-east Pune, close to The Skin Firm, which is at NIBM Post Office Road, Mohammed Wadi, South Pune.
Laser hair removal is a course, not a single visit. The AAD says most people need 2 to 6 treatments, usually 4 to 6 weeks apart, so it helps to choose a clinic you can reach on schedule.

Dr. Karishma Singh, Founder and Skin & Aesthetic Specialist (BHMS, FCHD), leads treatment planning and procedures. Dr. Monica C., Consultant Dermatologist (MD Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy; NMC-registered), assesses medical causes and prescribes medicines where they are needed.
The procedures here are medical treatments. We tell you at the consultation which doctor assesses you and who performs or prescribes them, and we advise against treatment if your skin or health makes it unsuitable.
Consultation & Skin Assessment
We look at your hair colour and thickness, skin tone, sun exposure, medicines, hormonal or skin conditions and what you want to treat. We tell you if laser is unlikely to suit you.
Patch Test and Plan
Where advised, we test a small area. We then explain the likely number of sessions, the gap between them, the risks and the written fee.
Laser Session
Protective eyewear is worn, the area is cleaned and trimmed, and the laser is passed over it with cooling. A numbing gel can be used where suitable.
Aftercare & Review
You get written aftercare. We review how your skin and hair respond and adjust settings or the plan at each visit.
Small Areas. Upper lip, chin or underarms, which take only minutes per session, as the AAD notes.
Large Areas. Legs, back or chest, which can take over an hour per session.
Settings Matched to Skin and Hair. Energy and pulse settings are chosen for your hair thickness and skin tone, and adjusted at each visit.
Sensitive Areas. Bikini and face areas are planned with extra care because the skin is more sensitive.
Maintenance Sessions. Because hair can return, occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.
The AAD says the first treatment typically reduces hair by around 10 to 25 percent, and most people need 2 to 6 treatments. Regrowth is usually finer and lighter, and maintenance may be needed later.
Results vary from person to person and cannot be promised. Light, grey or fine hair responds less well, and hormonal conditions can cause new hair to appear.
The cost depends on the areas treated, the size of each area, the number of sessions and any maintenance.
We don't work from a fixed price list. After your consultation you receive the recommended plan and a written fee, so you can decide at your own pace.
The AAD notes common effects are mild discomfort, swelling and redness that last 1 to 3 days.
Treated hair sheds over the following days to weeks, which can look like regrowth.
Most people return to routine activities, with sun protection for the treated skin.
Avoid direct sun and tanning on the treated skin, as the AAD advises.
Use a cool compress for discomfort and an unscented moisturiser.
Avoid hot baths, saunas, scrubs and tight clothing for 24 to 48 hours.
Shave if we advise, and avoid waxing or plucking between sessions unless we confirm it is fine.
Do not pick at any crusts or blisters.
Contact us if you notice blistering, burns, spreading redness or pus.
Common effects are discomfort, redness and swelling for 1 to 3 days. The AAD lists blistering, cold sores, infection, scarring and skin lightening or darkening as rare risks, and says some colour changes can be long-term. Burns and scarring are more likely when treatment is done by someone without medical training.
Tell us if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a tan, take medicines that make skin light-sensitive such as isotretinoin, tend to form keloid scars, have cold sores or an active skin infection in the area, or have a hormonal condition such as PCOS.
