What are the Things You Need to Know About Laser Hair Removal?
Medically Reviewed By Dr. Preeti Saraswat, MBBS, ABHRS | Last updated: July 28, 2026

Unwanted body hair can act as a hindrance to the widely known and accepted flawless skin, especially in women. Getting rid of it has several techniques; razors and waxing are two of the most common. However, both these methods are temporary and have side effects as well. That is why it is important to find a permanent solution to the problem. Opting for laser hair removal can be the ideal option for you to choose in this situation.

What is Laser Hair Removal, and How is it Performed?

Laser hair removal is the ideal way to get rid of unwanted hair from the body without any side effects. In this procedure, a laser device emits different wavelengths of light that directly hit the hair follicles under your skin without burning the surrounding area. It then destroys the follicle completely, rendering it impossible for it to grow new hair.

This ensures that your skin remains smooth and flawless after the procedure is complete. Professionals check your skin colour and type and suggest several instructions as you opt for it. They then curate a customized plan where they mention the kind of laser that will be treating you to get the desired results.

Tips for Laser Hair Removal

When it comes to laser hair removal, the professionals ensure that you get the best results by choosing a specific laser according to your skin colour. This can be accompanied by several post- and pre-treatment instructions, which you can follow to get the best results.

Don’t wax before the treatment: As one of the basic things that you will have to keep in mind, you cannot wax or tweeze before the laser hair removal treatment. This procedure only targets hair in the active-Anagen phase (growth phase) by targeting the light on the target area. You cannot use multiple methods of laser hair removal at the same time, as this won’t give you the results you are looking for.

Not all hair can be lasered: Lasers work on their functioning method and thus work best on those with a lighter skin tone but darker hair. This is because lasers can effectively see the dark hair follicles without any problem and then remove them permanently. Since laser devices have a mind of their own, all hair cannot be seen through one type. That is why you must always consult professionals in the procedure to ensure you are treated by a laser that can target the hair on your body easily. 

Multiple sessions are required: As mentioned, laser devices can only target those follicles that are in their active Anagen phase, and not all hair on the body is in that phase at one given time. That is why most professionals suggest multiple sessions to get the best results, so that they can target all the hair without any problem. Permanent laser hair removal on your body can take around five to seven sessions to show the ideal results. Each session has a few months in between, allowing the hair to complete its growth cycle.
