Laser Hair Reduction Treatment in Santacruz

Unwanted hair can be a persistent issue, affecting your confidence and comfort. Conventional methods such as shaving and waxing are temporary and often lead to irritation. Laser hair removal treatment offers a long-term solution, reducing hair growth effectively and leaving your skin smoother.

Dr. Viral Desai, the chief Cosmetic Surgeon at Skin Vibes Skin Clinic, notes:
  • “Laser hair removal is a safe and effective option that can permanently reduce hair growth, especially for those struggling with ingrown hairs and sensitive skin.”

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that decreases unwanted hair growth. It uses focused light energy to target hair follicles, ultimately reducing their ability to grow hair. Unlike temporary hair removal methods, laser treatment provides long-lasting results with fewer maintenance sessions. This treatment is suitable for various body areas, such as the face, arms, legs, bikini line, and back.

Laser Hair Removal Techniques

Curious about the techniques used in laser hair removal? Let’s break them down.

Diode Laser

This technique uses a diode laser to target the melanin in hair follicles. It is effective for many skin types and is known for its fast and efficient hair removal with minimal discomfort.




Alexandrite Laser

The Alexandrite laser is ideal for lighter skin tones and works by emitting a wavelength absorbed by melanin in the hair. It is known for its quick treatment time, making it suitable for larger areas like the back or legs.



Nd-YAG Laser

This laser penetrates deeper into the skin and is especially effective for darker skin tones. It targets the hair follicle while minimizing the risk of skin damage. This makes it a safer option for those with more melanin in their skin.


Procedure of Laser Hair Removal

Let’s dive into the steps involved in the laser hair removal process.
  • Consultation and Assessment: The process starts with a consultation to assess your skin and hair type. The skin specialist reviews your medical history, explains the procedure, and designs a personalized treatment plan.
  • Preparation: The assistant cleans the treatment area and applies a cooling gel to protect your skin. Eye protection is provided to safeguard your eyes from the laser.
  • Laser Application: The doctor focuses the chosen laser device on the treatment area. The device emits light energy absorbed by the pigment in hair follicles. This energy converts to heat and inhibits future hair growth.
  • Cooling and Post-Treatment Care: After the laser treatment, a cooling gel or ice pack is applied to soothe the skin. The doctor provides aftercare instructions to reduce potential side effects like redness or swelling.
  • Follow-Up Sessions: Multiple sessions are needed to achieve the best results as hair grows in cycles. Follow-up treatments target hair in the active growth phase, and the number of sessions varies per individual.

What to Expect After Laser Hair Removal?

After the first treatment, you can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair. Most patients require upto 6 laser treatments to achieve optimal results. Once the treatments are complete, most patients experience no hair growth in the treated areas for several months, or even years.

You can expect a few common side effects, which are typically mild and temporary, lasting anywhere from 1 to 3 days, including minor discomfort, swelling and redness around the area. About 1 to 2 weeks after the treatment, you might notice what seems like hair regrowth, but it is actually the treated hair shedding from the follicle. This is a normal part of the laser hair removal process.
