Laser hair removal has revolutionized the way we approach unwanted hair. Unlike temporary methods like shaving, waxing, or threading, laser hair removal offers a long-term solution for smooth, hair-free skin. At Aluxe Aesthetics, we've helped thousands of patients in Laketown, Kolkata achieve permanent hair reduction with our state-of-the-art laser technology.
Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This light energy is converted into heat, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth. The surrounding skin remains unharmed because the laser specifically targets the dark pigment in the hair. Multiple sessions are required because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is only effective on hair in the active growth phase (anagen phase).
Choosing laser hair removal over traditional methods offers numerous advantages:
A thorough skin and hair assessment by our dermatologist to determine the right laser settings for your skin type.
The treatment area is cleaned, and you'll be given protective eyewear. Shaving the area 24 hours before is recommended.
The laser handpiece is applied to the skin, delivering quick pulses of light. Most describe the sensation as a warm rubber band snap.
Mild redness may occur but resolves within hours. Sun protection is essential for optimal results.
The number of sessions varies based on individual factors:
