Shaving, waxing and plucking give only temporary results and can cause irritation and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal is a longer-lasting way to reduce unwanted hair on the face and body. At PS Dental Care, Narela Mandi, we first assess your skin type and hair, then explain whether laser is suitable for you, how many sessions you may need and what results to expect.

A laser sends light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This heats and damages the hair follicle so that it grows back thinner and finer, or more slowly. It works best on dark, coarse hair, and is much less effective on white, grey or very light hair. Only hairs in their growth phase respond at each session, which is why several sessions are needed.
Laser hair removal can be done on many skin tones, but darker skin needs a laser and settings chosen carefully, because the wrong settings can cause burns or dark marks. Our doctors assess your skin type, tan, hair colour and medical history before any treatment. Treatment may be postponed if you have a recent tan or sunburn, active skin infection, or take certain medicines.

| Cost | Depends on the area and number of sessions, explained after consultation |
Most people describe a quick snapping or stinging feeling. Cooling helps, and sensitive areas may feel stronger.
Usually several sessions are needed, because hair grows in cycles. The number depends on the area, your hair and hormones, and is decided at your consultation.
It gives long-lasting hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal. Some fine hair may return, and occasional top-up sessions can help, especially with hormonal causes such as PCOS.
Not automatically. Safety depends on your skin tone, the laser and settings used, and your medical history, which is why we assess you first.
