Is laser hair reduction safe for all skin types?
Yes, laser hair reduction at Dr. Soma’s clinic is safe for all skin types. Our advanced machines adapt to different tones and hair textures, ensuring effective results with minimal risk. During consultation, Dr. Somashekar customizes settings for your skin, delivering safe, precise, and long-lasting smoothness.
How many sessions of laser hair reduction are required?
On average, 6–8 sessions are recommended for optimal results, as hair grows in cycles. Multiple sessions ensure all follicles are targeted effectively. Larger areas may need more, while smaller ones require fewer. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help sustain smooth, hair-free skin long-term.
Does laser hair reduction hurt?
Laser hair reduction is not painful, though you may feel a mild tingling or warm snap. Our advanced machines include cooling technology to minimize discomfort. Patients often find it far more comfortable than waxing or threading, with longer-lasting results and minimal irritation after treatment.
Are there any side effects of laser hair reduction?
Side effects are minimal, such as slight redness or sensitivity, usually fading within hours. At Dr. Soma’s clinic, advanced machines and expert care reduce risks. Following aftercare—like sunscreen use and avoiding harsh scrubs—further ensures safe, effective, and comfortable results after each laser session.
How long does each session take?
Treatment time depends on the area. Small zones like the upper lip take 15–30 minutes, while larger areas like legs may last up to an hour. Sessions are quick, convenient, and require no downtime, making them easy to fit into your routine.
How is laser hair reduction better than waxing or shaving?
Laser hair reduction targets hair follicles, reducing regrowth over time. Unlike waxing, which causes pain and ingrown hairs, or shaving, which leads to cuts and stubble, laser ensures smoother, longer-lasting results. It’s more cost-effective long term, offering freedom from constant hair removal.
Can men also opt for laser hair reduction?
Yes, laser hair reduction works effectively for men. Common treatment areas include chest, back, shoulders, beard line, and neck. It reduces ingrown hairs, irritation from shaving, and ensures smoother skin. The procedure is safe, precise, and tailored to men’s hair density and skin type.
Is there any downtime after laser hair reduction?
There is no significant downtime after treatment. Mild redness or warmth may appear but fades quickly. You can resume work, exercise, or social activities immediately. Simple aftercare, like using sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight for a few days, helps maintain safe and smooth results.
When will I start seeing results?
Results appear gradually. After the first session, hair grows back finer and lighter. Significant reduction is seen after 4–6 sessions, with smoother skin after completing the full plan. Maintenance sessions help sustain long-term results, giving you lasting freedom from frequent hair removal methods.
