Laser Hair Removal
Looking for an effective treatment to get rid of dark and thick hair from your face and body? Laser hair removal in Chandigarh by laser expert Dr. Ishaa Junejaa can help to get a flawless smooth hair free skin.
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures involving the use of laser beams to remove undesirable hair on the face or body.
The laser beams target the melanin of the unwanted hair follicles. The heat generated from the laser gets absorbed by the melanin of the targeted hair to thermally destroy the hair follicles. As a result, hair production is disabled for a variable time and further hair growth as well as the capacity of hair to regrow is delayed or inhibited.
The hair growth cycle involves different stages: anagen (growing phase), catagen (transition phase), telogen (resting phase), and exogen (shedding phase). The lasers work only on the hair that is actively growing at the time of the treatment. That is why there is a need for multiple laser sessions to be able to effectively remove the majority of unwelcomed hair from the targeted site.
There are significant benefits associated with laser hair removal, including:
While laser hair removal is generally safe, it is essential to choose a reputable provider like Dr. Ishaa Junejaa Aesthetics. The clinic is renowned for providing the best laser hair removal in Chandigarh, and patients are advised to follow their instructions carefully to minimise risks and side effects.
A laser hair removal session is an outpatient procedure whose time frame depends upon the size of the area being treated. Before starting with the treatment, the patient is asked to wear special goggles for eye protection from laser light.
During the procedure, a laser doctor presses a hand-held laser device to the skin to be treated and activates it. Upon activation, the laser beam passes through the skin to reach the hair follicles and destroy them by heat. At this time, slight discomfort is expected to be experienced by the patient.
A significant reduction can be expected in hair growth. Single hair follicles that are in the active growth phase can be permanently removed while other hair follicles continue to grow at a reduced pace. The hair that regrows is usually lighter and thinner.
The treatment doesn’t require any real downtime. Immediately following the treatment, the skin may become swollen and red. Despite this, most patients can resume their daily routine activities. The dead hair starts shedding normally within 5 to 30 days from the date of the treatment.

What types of lasers are used to get rid of undesirable hair?
Alexandrite laser and Diode laser are two non-ablative laser types mostly used for hair removal. Alexandrite laser makes use of a 775 nm wavelength of light to gently and effectively remove the superficial hair of light-skinned people and ensures permanent results. Thanks to its range and adaptability. It’s widely considered to be the safest and most effective laser type for hair removal. Diode laser also offers a gentle touch, removing the hair effectively while protecting the skin. It projects the light at a wavelength of around 810nm, hence it can penetrate much deeper into the skin and allow superior melanin absorption. Dark-skinned people with coarse hair benefit from this laser. It is popular for its speed and efficacy.
Is Laser Hair Removal a permanent solution?
Laser hair removal in Chandigarh helps significantly reduce unwanted hair by up to 70%. With repeated sessions, when all targeted growing hair falls out, one can achieve smooth, hair-free skin which can stay the same for months or years.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe laser hair removal treatment to cause tolerable pain or discomfort of the same intensity as a hot rubber band snapped against the skin. Compared to waxing, it is less hurtful. If the patients have sensitive skin and fear pain, a numbing cream can be applied to ensure they feel comfortable throughout their treatment. Nowadays, advanced laser devices are used for laser hair removal which are equipped with dynamic cooling devices ensuring safer and more comfortable treatment.
How many laser sessions are required to remove unwanted hair?
The unwanted hair can be removed fully after 4-6 laser therapy sessions. The number of sessions depends upon the area being treated. These sessions must be performed at intervals of 4-6 weeks. To get the most benefits out of the treatment, follow-up laser sessions are necessary. The exact number of maintenance laser treatments required varies among the patients.
When can I expect to notice the results?
The results are likely to be seen instantly. They may vary from one patient to another depending upon the area treated, the thickness and colour of the hair, skin colour, and type of the laser used. After the first laser session, 10-25% of hair reduction can be seen. For full hair removal and the best-desired results lasting for several months, the patient needs to wait for the completion of 5-6 laser sessions.
How long will the effects of laser hair removal last?
Most patients remain hairless and flaunt their hair-free skin for months or even years. Even if there is regrowth of hair, usually it’s less noticeable. To enjoy hair-free skin for a lifetime, the patients need to undergo maintenance laser sessions after every 6-12 months.
What are the possible side effects?
Most commonly, after laser hair removal, the patient can experience slight discomfort, swelling, and redness in the treated area. All these side effects are temporary and are resolved in 1-3 days. Other rarely occurring side effects include skin blistering, scarring, infections, herpes simplex virus outbreaks, and skin darkening or lightening. However, the risk of these side effects can be considerably reduced if the patient follows the doctor’s recommended pre and post-treatment instructions.
