Waxing can be a horrific experience for many people thanks to the painful and time-consuming procedure. Especially people with sensitive skin can have a very tough time undergoing waxing as it not only causes rashes and inflammation but in extreme cases leads to bleeding in the affected area. Every month, when the date of the waxing comes near,  many people start freaking out due to the excessive pain that they will have to experience while undergoing waxing.  But with laser hair removal you no longer have to worry about the pain caused by waxing and can still get smoother and shiny skin even more than what waxing gives. Laser hair removal is not just a painless procedure but it gradually reduces hair growth, thereby saving your expenses and freeing you from this vicious cycle of waxing every month.

So, book an appointment at the COLLAGEN CLINIC to get all the information about laser hair removal where our expert Dr Priyanka will solve all your queries about the laser hair removal procedure. 

What is a Laser Hair Removal Procedure?

Laser hair removal is a painless procedure that uses a laser or a beam of light to remove the hair from our skin. In this procedure, a laser is used that emits a light which is absorbed by the melanin, a pigment present in our hair. After which, the light energy is converted into heat energy thereby damaging the hair follicles inside our skin that produces the hairs in our body. It is this heat damage to the hair follicles that delays and ultimately stops hair growth in the future.

What is the Number of Sessions Required For Laser Hair Removal

The number of sessions required will vary according to the body area in which laser hair removal is supposed to be performed. The number of sessions depends on many other factors like

• Nature of Hair Growth
• Intensity of Hair Growth
• Type Of Hair
• Contrast between the skin type and hair colour
• Skin type

Let’s look at the estimated number of sessions and months required for different parts.
