Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is the gold standard for long-term reduction of unwanted body and facial hair. At Dr Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, we use the Long Pulse Nd:YAG laser — a technology specifically chosen for its safety and effectiveness on all skin types, including the diverse skin tones common in India. Unlike older laser technologies that carried higher risks for darker skin, the Nd:YAG laser operates at a wavelength (1064nm) that passes safely through melanin-rich skin to target the hair follicle directly, making it the ideal choice for Indian patients.
Overview
Laser hair removal is the gold standard for long-term reduction of unwanted body and facial hair. At Dr Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, we use the Long Pulse Nd:YAG laser — a technology specifically chosen for its safety and effectiveness on all skin types, including the diverse skin tones common in India. Unlike older laser technologies that carried higher risks for darker skin, the Nd:YAG laser operates at a wavelength (1064nm) that passes safely through melanin-rich skin to target the hair follicle directly, making it the ideal choice for Indian patients.
The laser works by emitting concentrated light energy that is selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment within the hair shaft. This energy is converted to heat, reaching approximately 70 degrees Celsius at the hair follicle, which damages the follicle's ability to produce new hair without harming the surrounding skin. A built-in air cooling system protects the skin surface throughout the treatment, ensuring comfort and safety. Each pulse treats multiple follicles simultaneously, allowing large areas to be covered efficiently.
Most patients achieve 60-80% permanent hair reduction after a course of 4-6 sessions, spaced 4-8 weeks apart depending on the treatment area. Multiple sessions are necessary because hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective on hair in the active growth (anagen) phase. Treatment areas for women include the face (upper lip, chin, sideburns), underarms, arms, legs, bikini line, and full body. For men, common areas include the back, chest, shoulders, neck, and beard shaping. Pre-treatment preparation requires avoiding waxing, plucking, or threading for at least 2 weeks before each session — shaving is permitted as it does not disturb the hair root.
