It depends on your skin tone and hair colour. Grey and blonde hairs don’t respond well to this treatment because these have no pigment. A consultation with our practitioners is the best way to know if you’re suitable for laser hair removal. Note that we won’t push the procedure if it won’t produce good results for you.

What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that removes unwanted hair using a concentrated beam of light (laser).
A laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in hair during laser hair removal. The light energy is transformed to heat, which damages the hair-producing tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles). This damage limits or delays hair growth in the future.

Who is a good candidate for hair removal?
Should I shave before laser hair removal treatment?
Because the laser targets hair, a small amount of hair growth is required for the laser light to travel down into the hair follicle. However, the shorter the hair, the less energy is depleted, implying that the laser is powerful enough to cause enough damage when it reaches the follicle.
Wax and depilatory creams work by either pulling or dissolving the hair and root, leaving nothing for the laser to travel down, rendering the treatment ineffective. A razor, on the other hand, is ideal because it leaves stubble behind.
Is Laser/IPL hair removal safe?
Yes. Proper techniques performed by a certified and experienced practitioner render safe and effective results. There are associated risks, but these are minimal, especially with proper precautionary measures. With Javaani Aesthetic Clinic, you’re assured of a thorough assessment to determine any potential complications.
Is IPL Laser Hair Removal Painful?
Depending on the area of the body, laser hair removal can be slightly uncomfortable. The skin on our faces can be quite sensitive, and treatment can be painful. Many people say it feels like being lightly flicked with an elastic band, and the sensation afterwards is similar to a mild sunburn. People frequently describe a tingling sensation on less sensitive skin, such as the legs and arms.
How many treatments will be required?
At your personalised consultation, you will be advised about the number of sessions and type of treatment that suit you best. Since each client’s expectation of hair loss is different, some may already be happy with 50-60% hair loss, which means lesser number of sessions, while others prefer an 80-95% maximum.
Is It Possible To Work After The Treatment?
Yes. After one hour of the treatment.
What Aftercare is Required with Laser Hair Removal?
You may notice some redness and a mild sunburn sensation that lasts for a few hours to a few days. Please k eep out of direct sunlight. Use sunscreen (minimum SPF30) for at least 4-6 weeks, regardless of the weather.
For the next few days, keep the treatment area clean and dry. Avoid heat and shower or bathe in cool water for the first 2-3 days.
For 7 days, do not scrub or exfoliate the area, and avoid chemical peels and microdermabrasion.
Avoid taking hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms, as well as using deodorant, because your skin will be extremely sensitive for 24 to 48 hours after laser hair removal. If you must shower during this time, keep the water temperature lukewarm and gently pat yourself dry. Do not rub as this can cause irritation to your skin. Please avoid products containing perfume or other skin irritants as well.
