Excessive hair is troublesome for every male and female. Threading, waxing, shaving, and hair removal creams offer only temporary solutions that demand constant repetition, time, and cost. Diode laser hair removal is the single, permanent solution for the removal of unwanted hair — from any area of the face or body.
At Akarshan Skin & Hair Clinic, we use an FDA-approved triple wavelength diode laser device that targets all hair types and all skin tones safely and effectively. It is completely safe, nearly painless, and a technological blessing that lets you enjoy a carefree, hair-free life.
What Is Diode Laser Hair Removal?
Diode laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light energy to permanently destroy hair follicles at the root. The laser device emits specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair root. This absorption converts the light into heat, which damages the follicle and prevents future hair regrowth — without affecting the surrounding skin.
Because laser hair removal targets only the actively growing phase of the hair cycle (the anagen phase), multiple sessions are required to catch all follicles in this phase and achieve complete, permanent hair reduction.
How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal devices emit specific beams of light targeting the roots of hair follicles. Those lights are absorbed by the roots and the follicles get permanently destroyed. The key to effective and safe treatment across all skin types is selecting the right wavelength:
Wavelength | Best For | Skin Tone |
755 nm (Alexandrite) | Fine and light hair | Fair / lighter skin tones |
808 nm (Diode) | Normal Asian skin and hair | Medium / normal skin tones |
1064 nm (Nd:YAG) | Coarse and dark hair | Dark / African skin tones |
Triple Wavelength (Combined) | All hair types and colors | All skin tones |
At Akarshan, our FDA-approved triple wavelength diode laser combines all three wavelengths in a single device — 808 nm for normal Asian skin, 755 nm for lighter skin tones, and 1064 nm for darker or African skin tones. A combination of all wavelengths ensures complete removal of all types of hair on all skin tones in a single, unified treatment.
What to Expect During Your Session
- Consultation — Our doctor assesses your hair type, skin tone, treatment area, and medical history to select the correct wavelength combination and device settings for your session.
- Preparation — The treatment area should be shaved (not waxed or threaded) before the session. The skin is cleansed and a cooling gel is applied.
- Laser treatment — The triple wavelength diode laser device is passed over the treatment area. You will feel a slight tingling sensation throughout — completely tolerable and not painful.
- Post-care — Avoid hot showers for 48 hours (lukewarm is fine). Avoid sun exposure and tanning to protect the sensitive post-treatment skin. No waxing, threading, or hair removal creams between sessions — shaving is the only permitted method for any regrowth.
Session duration: Varies by area — a few minutes for small areas (upper lip) to 60+ minutes for full body. Downtime: None. Return to normal activities immediately.
Pre- and Post-Procedure Care
Before Your Session
- Do not use hair removal creams, wax, or thread from the time you begin your laser course until all sessions are complete
- Shaving is the only permitted method for removing regrowing hair between sessions
- Ensure you are not tanned before your appointment — active tans increase the risk of skin reactions
- Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours before your session for best results
- Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment
After Your Session
- Avoid hot showers for 48 hours — lukewarm water is fine
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning to protect the sensitized skin
- Apply SPF 30+ sunscreen on treated areas exposed to sunlight
- Do not wax, thread, or use hair removal creams between sessions
- Mild redness is normal and resolves within a few hours
Treatable Areas
Diode laser hair removal can be performed safely on virtually any area of the face and body, including:
- Upper lip, chin, sideburns, and full face
- Underarms
- Arms (full or half)
- Legs (full or half)
- Bikini line and Brazilian
- Back and chest
- Stomach and shoulders
- Neck
- Full body
Diode Laser vs Other Hair Removal Methods
Method | Duration of Results | Pain Level | Skin Sensitivity | Cost Over Time |
Diode Laser | Permanent reduction | Minimal (tingling) | Temporary, 48 hrs | One-time investment |
Waxing | 2–6 weeks | Moderate to high | Yes, prolonged | Recurring cost |
Threading | 2–4 weeks | Moderate | Yes | Recurring cost |
Shaving | 1–7 days | None | Razor burn risk | Recurring cost |
Hair Removal Cream | 1–2 weeks | None to mild | Chemical irritation risk | Recurring cost |
Diode laser hair removal is completely worth every penny spent. Forget shaving every few days, threading every week, or waxing every month. Whether it is unwanted facial hair, body hair, or a beach and bikini look you are after — you will love the carefree life after laser hair removal.
Who Is It Best For?
- Men and women with unwanted facial hair (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
- Anyone tired of the recurring time and cost of waxing, threading, or shaving
- Those with ingrown hair problems caused by frequent shaving or waxing
- Individuals seeking smooth, hair-free skin for any area of the body
- People of all skin tones — including darker skin — thanks to our triple wavelength device
- Anyone seeking a permanent, low-maintenance solution to unwanted hair
Note: Results are best on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin. Lighter or finer hair may require more sessions. Our doctors will assess your hair and skin type at consultation to set realistic expectations.
Results You Can Expect
A single laser session only targets hair follicles in the active growing (anagen) phase. For this reason, 6 to 12 sessions are required, done 4 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve permanent hair reduction across all follicles.
After completing all recommended sessions, 10% to 30% of hair with finer density and very slow growth may tend to grow back depending on your genetics. For most individuals, one or two touch-up sessions per year will be needed to maintain the results long-term. The result is dramatically less hair, much finer regrowth, and a far more manageable situation than before treatment.

Laser hair removal devices emit concentrated beams of light that target the roots of hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair root, converting to heat that permanently destroys the follicle and prevents future regrowth — without damaging the surrounding skin.
A single session only targets hair follicles in the active growing phase. Six to twelve sessions are typically required, done 4 to 8 weeks apart, to achieve permanent hair reduction. The exact number depends on the treatment area, hair density, and individual response.
No — it is not painful. A slight tingling sensation is felt during the procedure but it is completely tolerable. Our device also incorporates cooling technology to maximize comfort throughout the session.
After completing all recommended sessions, 10% to 30% of hair with finer density and very slow growth may tend to grow back depending on your genetics. Most individuals require one or two touch-up sessions per year to maintain results. The remaining regrowth is far finer and slower than before treatment.
Before: Shave the area 12–24 hours before your session. Do not wax, thread, or use hair removal creams. Avoid tanning. After: Avoid hot showers for 48 hours (lukewarm is fine). Avoid sun exposure and tanning to protect the skin. Do not wax or thread between sessions — shaving is the only permitted hair removal method.
Yes. Our FDA-approved triple wavelength device includes a 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength specifically designed to safely treat darker and African skin tones. This makes our device suitable for all skin types, including those that cannot be safely treated by standard 808 nm diode lasers alone.
