Laser Hair Reduction, Done Properly

What It Is

Precision light, matched to your skin.

Laser hair reduction uses a focused wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft, converting to heat and disrupting the follicle's ability to regrow hair.

The reason results vary so widely between clinics is settings. Indian and South Asian skin carries more melanin in the surrounding skin, not just the hair — so a device configured for lighter skin risks burns and pigment change. The energy, pulse duration and cooling all have to be selected for your specific skin type.

At Dermatonik your skin is assessed and patch-tested before a full session is booked. Hair also grows in cycles, and a laser only affects follicles in the active growth phase — which is why a planned course works and a single session does not.

How It Works

Selective, cycle-aware targeting.

01

Light absorbed by the follicle

The wavelength is chosen so pigment in the hair absorbs far more energy than the surrounding skin — the principle that makes the treatment selective.

02

Controlled heat, cooled surface

Contact cooling protects the skin's surface while heat concentrates at the follicle, which is what keeps the treatment comfortable on deeper skin tones.

03

Repeated across growth cycles

Only follicles in their active phase respond, so sessions are spaced to catch successive cycles as they enter growth.

Your First Visit

What to expect

1

Consultation & Assessment

Dr. Saeema Shiraaz assesses your skin tone, hair type and any history of pigment change, and confirms whether laser is the right route for you.

2

Your Personalised Plan

What is appropriate, in what order, and what it will cost is set out before anything begins. You will be told plainly if something is not going to help you.

3

The Session

A patch test is done first. In the session itself, the handpiece is passed across the area with contact cooling — most describe it as a warm snap.

4

Aftercare & Follow-Up

Aftercare is explained before you leave, and we review how your skin has responded before deciding the next step.

The settings were actually chosen for my skin instead of a standard setting — no burns, no dark patches, and the density has genuinely dropped.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What patients usually ask before their first visit.

Does laser hair reduction hurt?

Most patients describe it as a warm snap against the skin. Contact cooling runs throughout, and sensitive areas can be numbed beforehand.

Is it safe for Indian and darker skin tones?

Yes, when the device and settings are selected for your skin type. Higher melanin means the surrounding skin absorbs more energy, so the wavelength, pulse and cooling are chosen accordingly — and we patch-test before a full session.

How many sessions will I need?

Hair grows in cycles and a laser only affects follicles in the active phase, so a course is planned rather than a fixed number promised. Your course is reviewed as your response becomes clear.

Is the result permanent?

No treatment removes hair permanently. What laser achieves is a reduction in density and coarseness, with maintenance sessions to hold the result. Any clinic promising permanence is overstating it.

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes — shaving is fine and in fact preferred. Avoid waxing, threading or plucking, as those remove the follicle the laser needs to target.

Who isn't suitable?

Active skin infection, certain photosensitising medications, recent sun exposure or tanning, and pregnancy. Your history is reviewed at consultation.
