Dr. Shrenik explains, “LHR basically is laser hair reduction where we use a specialised laser light to target the hair roots and destroy them so that the hairs become less in number and thickness. it is the latest and the best technology which can be used for hair reduction compared to all others”. in case you have any more questions about the process, Dr. Shrenik assures that all your doubts would be answered at makeO skin (formely skinnsi). “our laser hair removal doctor will start by giving an overview of the laser hair removal treatment and then take the process further”, he says.

Dr. Shrenik says, “the benefit of laser hair removal over other methods can be understood by knowing how this method provides permanent hair reduction.”

laser hair removal works on the principle of selective photothermolysis. in lhr, laser light is absorbed by the melanin (dark pigment) present in the hair roots. the absorbed light heats up the hair follicle and destroys it. the long thick and dark terminal hairs are converted to thin,fine vellus hairs. the duration of the growing phase reduces and the resting phase is prolonged with every laser session. the density, thickness and colour of hairs gradually reduces and time taken for the hairs to grow increases so that one can be hair free after recommended sessions.

it is a cost effective method in the long run as one need not visit a parlour or pursue other methods of temporary hair removal.

yes, both men and women above the age of 14 who want to get rid of unwanted hairs and want to be hair-free can take laser hair reduction treatment.

as per Dr Shrenik, ‘hair reduction through laser need not be restricted to women alone and men can also opt for this procedure for effective results.’

lhr is a safe procedure when done by a trained personnel as it targets only the hair follicles without affecting or damaging the surrounding skin. It will not cause any harm to the internal organs or deeper layers as it will only penetrate till the dermis. however, it is imperative that you reach out to an experienced dermatologist. before starting the treatment you will be briefed about it. Dr Shrenik says, “at makeO skin (formely skinnsi) our laser hair removal dermatologist will explain why laser hair removal is safe for your permanent hair reduction.”

one should have not undergone waxing, threading or bleaching in the past 1 month before booking a session. also, there should be a minimum gap of 4 weeks between the sessions or visible hair growth before booking the next session.

Dr Shrenik recommends that it is important to know the right time to undergo hair reduction treatment before you book a session for yourself.

laser targets the hairs in growing or those in anagen phase and that too 10-15% of hairs will be targeted in each session. so multiple sessions are required for considerable results. on an average a minimum of 6-8 sessions and a maximum of 12-15 sessions are required for upto 90% reduction. the reduction seen will be in terms of density, colour and thickness. the remaining hairs grow back in time. however after 8-10 sessions, the hair growth will become slower and the residual hairs will be finer. they will be aesthetically acceptable and barely visible.
