Laser Hair Removal in Mumbai

What is Laser Hair Reduction?

Since olden days plucking, threading, waxing have been used as hair removal methods of unwanted hair. However, these are temporary methods and the hair grows is back in a few days. Also, it causes rashes on the skin and cannot be used on sensitive areas.
Laser Hair Removal is a medical process of ridding the body of unwanted hair. Highly concentrated light from the laser is focused on the melanocytes, targeting them to transfer heat to the hair follicles. The melanocytes around the hair follicles absorb the light that then destroys the hair follicle, thus preventing hair growth (extended theory of selective photothermolysis). Each laser pulse takes less than a second and targets many hair follicles at a time. The laser hair equipment is adjusted according to the color and thickness of the hair, and the part of the body on which the hair is present. It can reduce the hair growth and can treat dark, coarse hair. The results of the treatment are more or less permanent (except for individuals suffering from hormonal disturbances, like PCOD).
