How Laser Hair Removal Works: Benefits, Process, and Aftercare

Unwanted hair is something almost everyone struggles with. Shaving, waxing, and threading give quick results, but they are time-consuming, painful, and temporary. Thankfully, there’s a better solution — Laser Hair Removal.

Laser hair removal is a modern and safe treatment that removes unwanted hair from the body for a long time. It is one of the most popular skin treatments worldwide and is now easily available in Bareilly at SkinCity, led by Dr. Vijay Gupta, a trusted and experienced skin specialist.

Let’s understand how this treatment works, its benefits, what the process looks like, and how to care for your skin after the procedure.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a special light called a laser to remove hair. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) present in the hair. This light energy turns into heat, which damages the hair follicles — the small roots that make hair grow.

Once these follicles are weakened, they stop producing new hair. Over time, you’ll notice thinner, softer hair — and after a few sessions, most of the hair stops growing completely.

This treatment can be done on almost any part of the body, including:

  1. Face and neck

  2. Arms and underarms

  3. Legs and thighs

  4. Bikini area

  5. Back and chest

Both men and women can safely go for this treatment.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal works on a simple principle called selective photothermolysis — that means the laser light targets the dark pigment in the hair, not the surrounding skin.

Here’s how it works step-by-step:

  1. The laser device sends light pulses to the skin.

  2. The hair pigment absorbs this light.

  3. The absorbed light turns into heat and damages the hair follicle.

  4. The follicle becomes weak and stops growing new hair.

Different laser machines are used based on your skin type.
At SkinCity Bareilly, we use US-FDA-approved Diode and Nd:YAG lasers, which are safe for all Indian skin tones.

These lasers give painless, quick, and effective results.

Step-by-Step Laser Hair Removal Process

If you are thinking of getting laser hair removal, here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation and Skin Test

Before the treatment, Dr. Vijay Gupta will check your skin and hair type to decide which laser setting is best for you. A small patch test is done to make sure your skin responds safely to the laser.

2. Pre-Treatment Preparation

You’ll be asked to shave the area one day before your session. Avoid waxing, plucking, or bleaching the hair for at least two weeks before treatment. You should also avoid too much sun exposure.

3. During the Treatment

A cooling gel will be applied to protect your skin. Then the laser device will be gently moved over the area.
You might feel a mild warm or tingling sensation — most people say it feels like a small snap, but it’s not painful.

Each session can take 15–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

4. After the Treatment

After the session, a soothing cream or aloe vera gel will be applied. You might see mild redness or swelling, which goes away within a few hours.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has many benefits compared to traditional methods like waxing or shaving.

✅ 1. Long-Term Results

After 5–8 sessions, most people see up to 90% hair reduction. You may only need touch-ups once or twice a year.

✅ 2. No More Ingrown Hairs

Waxing and shaving often cause small, painful ingrown hairs. Laser treatment removes hair from the root, preventing them completely.

✅ 3. Gentle on Skin

The treatment is safe for sensitive skin and does not cause cuts, irritation, or rashes.

✅ 4. Saves Time and Money

You no longer need to book waxing appointments or buy razors regularly. Laser treatment saves both time and long-term costs.

✅ 5. Suitable for Men and Women

Laser hair removal works equally well for both men and women, from removing facial hair in women to chest or back hair in men.

At SkinCity Bareilly, we use the latest laser technology to make every session quick, painless, and effective.

Aftercare Tips for the Best Results

Taking care of your skin after laser treatment is very important. Here are some simple tips:

  1. Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 days after treatment.

  2. Don’t wax, pluck, or bleach between sessions — only shave if needed.

  3. Apply a soothing cream or aloe vera gel if your skin feels warm or red.

  4. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24 hours.

  5. Use sunscreen regularly to protect your skin.

  6. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

Following these steps will help you get smooth, soft, and glowing skin faster.

Who Can Get Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is great for anyone who wants smooth, hair-free skin. It’s perfect for:

  1. People are tired of frequent shaving or waxing.

  2. Those who get skin irritation or ingrown hairs.

  3. Men and women who want to save time and effort.

If you have very light or gray hair or certain skin conditions, your dermatologist will guide you on the best treatment plan.
