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 recurring cost. 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 US FDA-approved Primelase Excellence laser device that is safe and effective for all skin tones and all hair types. It is a big technological blessing — and you will love the carefree, hair-free life it gives you.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light energy to permanently destroy hair follicles at the root. The laser emits specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair root. This light energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle and preventing future hair regrowth — without affecting the surrounding skin.
Because laser hair removal only targets follicles in the active growing phase (anagen phase), multiple sessions are required to achieve complete, permanent hair reduction across all follicles.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal devices emit certain 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 using the correct wavelength.
At Akarshan, our FDA-approved triple wavelength diode laser combines all three wavelengths in a single device:
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 |
A combination of all wavelengths ensures complete removal of all types of hair on all skin tones in a single, unified treatment protocol.
Laser Hair Removal vs Other Methods
Method | Results Duration | Pain Level | Cost Over Time |
Laser Hair Removal | Permanent reduction | Minimal (tingling) | One-time investment |
Waxing | 2–6 weeks | Moderate to high | Recurring |
Threading | 2–4 weeks | Moderate | Recurring |
Shaving | 1–7 days | None | Recurring |
Hair Removal Cream | 1–2 weeks | None to mild | Recurring |
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.
Treatment Areas
Laser hair removal at Akarshan can be performed on virtually any area of the face and body:
- Upper lip, chin, sideburns, and full face
- Underarms
- Full arms or half arms
- Full legs or legs below the knee
- Bikini line and Brazilian
- Buttocks
- Chest and abdomen
- Whole back
- Full body
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 genetics. For most individuals, one or two touch-up sessions per year will maintain the results. The end result is dramatically less hair, much finer regrowth, and a permanently more manageable situation compared to before treatment.
Who Is It Best For?
- Men and women with unwanted facial or body hair
- 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 wanting smooth, hair-free skin for any body area
- 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 contrast. Lighter or finer hair may require more sessions. Our doctors will assess your hair and skin type at consultation.
What to Expect During Your Session
- Consultation — Our doctor assesses your hair type, skin tone, and treatment area and selects the correct wavelength combination and device settings.
- 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 — completely tolerable and not painful.
- Post-care — Avoid hot showers for 48 hours (lukewarm is fine). Avoid sun exposure and tanning. No waxing or threading between sessions — shaving is the only permitted method for regrowth.
Session duration: A few minutes (upper lip) to 60+ minutes (full body) depending on area. 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
- Shave the treatment area 12–24 hours before your session
- 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 resolves within a few hours and is completely normal
