WHAT IS
Laser Hair Reduction
Laser hair reduction is a clinical procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles at the root, permanently reducing hair growth. The laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Over a series of sessions aligned with your hair growth cycle, the treatment progressively reduces hair density and thickness — leaving skin smooth and soft.
Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair reduction addresses the root cause of unwanted hair growth. It is effective on the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, arms, back, chest, and full body.

HOW DOES
Laser Hair Reduction Works?
SkinLab uses Diode and Nd:YAG laser systems — the gold standard for safe laser hair reduction on Indian and darker skin tones. During the session, a handheld device emits pulses of laser energy that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, generating heat that disables the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. A built-in cooling system keeps the skin surface comfortable throughout.
Hair grows in three cycles — anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). The laser is only effective on follicles in the active growth (anagen) phase. This is why multiple sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, are required to treat all follicles at the right stage.

It is most effective on individuals with darker hair (higher melanin contrast), but modern lasers at SkinLab can treat all hair types and skin tones. You are a good candidate if you experience frequent skin irritation from waxing or shaving, have ingrown hairs, or are looking for a permanent solution to unwanted hair.

WHAT TO EXPECT
During Your Laser Session
Your first visit begins with a doctor’s consultation to assess your skin and hair type and create a personalised treatment plan. On the day of treatment, the area is cleaned and shaved if required. Protective eyewear is provided. The laser handpiece is moved across the treatment area in sections — you will feel a mild snapping or warm sensation with each pulse. Built-in cooling ensures comfort. Session duration ranges from 15 minutes (upper lip) to 90 minutes (full body).
WHAT TO EXPECT
Laser Hair Reduction Results
Most clients notice 10–20% hair reduction after the first session. After 3–4 sessions, results become significantly visible with thinner, sparser, and slower-growing hair. After completing 6–8 sessions, the majority of clients achieve 70–90% permanent hair reduction. Some fine facial hair or hormonal hair may require maintenance sessions. Results are long-lasting, with many clients remaining hair-free for years after completing their course.
