We provide laser hair removal in our clinic, which is a safe as well as FDA-approved modality for hair removal. This is dependent on the quality of laser used and the practitioner giving the treatment, both which are of paramount importance to us. Many of our patients who relocate abroad can continue their treatment seamlessly since the technology that we use, such as the Alma Soprano Diode, are recognized and available across top dermatology clinics around the world.

A precisely focused beam of light targets the hair follicles, with the laser energy being absorbed by the pigment (melanin). This absorption raises the temperature of the follicles, ultimately destroying them and halting future hair growth. In simpler terms, the heat from the laser beam prevents hair regeneration. This hair removal treatment is both safe and highly effective.

Laser hair removal treatments are safe for all body areas when performed by a qualified medical professional. These treatments can help you achieve smooth skin on your legs, arms, underarms, upper lip, and bikini area. In cosmopolitan cities like Delhi, there has been a notable increase in the number of bikini area laser treatments over the past five years.

The laser tends to target the dark pigment in the hair, thus making it highly effective on thick, coarse dark hairs that are of a higher melanin content than light-colored hairs. The main reason for this fact is that this type of hair tends to take up energy from the laser rapidly and heats up tremendously, hence enhancing effectiveness.

It is not a painful procedure though there might be a slight stinging. Thanks to modern technology, laser hair removal is not only pain-free but also pretty relaxing. In fact, you will feel a pleasant warmth during the session and not a feeling of discomfort. The procedure is almost five times more comfortable than waxing and shaving.

The cost of 6–8 sessions of laser hair removal at our clinic in Delhi is significantly lower than the cumulative expense of regular waxing or shaving. It’s a one-time investment that offers long-term benefits. The price for laser hair removal varies based on several factors, including:

The size of the treatment area and the duration of the procedure

The number of sessions needed

For a personalized estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation with us to determine the exact cost for your specific needs.

Laser hair removal works by targeting hair follicles in their active growth phase. To achieve significant reduction in hair regrowth, it typically requires 6–8 sessions to treat all the hair follicles in a specific area. However, it’s important to note that results vary from person to person based on factors such as hair type, hormonal changes, and stress levels. Because of these individual differences, the number of sessions required may vary for each person.

Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness in the treated area, which typically fades within a few minutes. You can return to your regular activities right after the session. However, it is recommended to apply sunscreen on exposed areas following the procedure to protect your skin.

The duration of a laser hair removal session depends on several factors, including the size and contour of the treatment area and the level of preparation. At Garekars MD Dermatology Clinic, we ensure each session is tailored to the client’s comfort and needs.

Typically, larger areas like the legs or back may take around an hour or more, while smaller areas such as the underarms or front of the neck can be completed in as little as 20 minutes.

Hair grows in cycles, and only during the active growth phase does it contain enough pigment to absorb the laser’s energy and destroy the follicle. During each session, we target all hair follicles in the active growth stage. However, hair in the dormant phase won’t be affected until it transitions to the growth phase. This is why multiple sessions are needed—to treat all follicles as they enter the active stage, resulting in progressively greater hair reduction with each session.

Prior to the laser treatment, we conduct a thorough dermatological assessment to determine your skin’s suitability and sensitivity to the procedure. This evaluation ensures that the treatment is appropriate for you. If there are any clinical indications of a hormonal imbalance, such as PCOD, we may recommend further testing to rule out underlying conditions. This step is essential for achieving optimal results with permanent laser hair reduction.

There’s no need to worry about radiation during laser hair removal. The technology we use is US FDA-approved, ensuring its safety. The Diode laser emits “non-ionizing” radiation, which is safe for your skin and hair type. At our clinic, we follow strict safety protocols and techniques that meet international standards, so you can feel confident in the treatment.

It’s best to get laser hair removal from a clinic under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist. They can assess your skin type and recommend the most suitable laser and settings for optimal results. Certain medications, like antibiotics, can make your skin more sensitive to the laser, and only a doctor can provide the right guidance. Receiving treatment at a clinic also minimizes the risk of complications, such as burns or pigmentation, ensuring a safer and more effective experience.

No, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser hair removal are often confused, but they are different. IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, while a laser emits a single, focused wavelength. In simpler terms, lasers target a specific area with concentrated light, making them more powerful, while IPL covers a broader wavelength range.

Because of this, IPL is less effective for treating coarse, deep hair. Additionally, the wider range of wavelengths in IPL can be absorbed by surrounding tissues, increasing the risk of burns, especially for individuals with darker skin.

Both IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser hair removal are used for hair reduction, but laser treatment is generally more effective. Laser hair removal uses a single, focused wavelength of monochromatic light that targets a specific area, making it more precise and powerful. On the other hand, IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, ranging from 400 nm to 1200 nm, making it less focused.

Both methods can deliver good results when performed by an experienced dermatologist. The key is selecting the right treatment for each patient. At our skin clinic in Delhi, we use a combination of Alma Soprano Pro Diode and Alma Harmony IPL to create a customized plan that ensures safe, effective results for all hair and skin types, minimizing any side effects.

While IPL is generally safe, it carries a slightly higher risk of burns compared to laser hair removal. However, at our skin clinic, we use cutting-edge technology that adheres to international safety standards, ensuring a high level of protection for our clients. Alma’s In Motion Diode technology is widely recognized as one of the most advanced hair removal methods available. Additionally, Alma’s Advanced Fluorescence Technology™ (AFT) is known globally for its safety and versatility. Our clients have consistently achieved outstanding results with the laser hair removal treatments we offer.
