Laser Hair Removal in Lucknow

How Laser Hair Removal Works

The laser targets melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. It heats and damages the follicle during the active growth phase (anagen), reducing its ability to produce hair. Since only 20–30% of hair is in the growth phase at any time, multiple sessions are needed to catch all follicles.

Why Laser Type Matters for Indian Skin

Indian skin (Fitzpatrick III–V) has more melanin in both hair AND skin. Using the wrong laser can cause burns and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. At Gomti Clinic:

• We use 810nm diode laser — the safest wavelength for Indian skin tones
• Parameters are adjusted per skin type — not a one-setting-fits-all approach
• Cooling technology protects the skin surface while the energy reaches the follicle

Treatment Areas & Sessions

Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart for face, 6–8 weeks for body.

Realistic Expectations

• 70–90% permanent reduction after completing the full course
• It's called "permanent reduction," not "permanent removal" — some fine hair may regrow and need occasional maintenance
• Hormonal factors (PCOS, pregnancy) can trigger new hair growth even after completing treatment
• Blonde, grey, and very fine hairs don't respond well to laser (insufficient melanin)

Before Your Session

• Shave the treatment area 24 hours before (don't wax or pluck — the follicle must be intact)
• Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks prior
• No self-tanning products
