Hair Concerns

Unwanted Facial & Body Hair

Constant shaving, threading and waxing leave my skin irritated yet never truly smooth

Excess facial or body hair is common, especially with Indian skin and hormones. Laser hair reduction offers longer gaps and smoother skin when planned well.

The Basics

Understanding Why

What it is

Unwanted facial and body hair refers to growth that feels excessive for your age, gender or comfort. It may be driven by hormones, genetics or hair removal methods that irritate and thicken regrowth over time.

Common Triggers

  • Genetic tendency for thicker, darker body hair
  • Hormonal changes, PCOS or thyroid imbalances
  • Frequent shaving, waxing and frictional irritation
  • Certain medicines, steroids or underlying conditions
  • Salon procedures without medical assessment or guidance

How we treat it

We assess patterns, hormones and skin sensitivity, then recommend laser hair reduction or medical workup where needed, focusing on comfort, pigment safety and realistic, longer gaps between sessions.

Expectations

Your Journey

First consultation

We review hair patterns, medical history, medicines and hormones if needed, then test a patch to confirm how your skin and hair respond to laser.

Initial sessions

Full sessions use eye protection, cooling and measured passes over chosen areas, spaced weeks apart to target hairs at the right growth stage.

Progressive reduction

Over multiple sittings, growth reduces, becomes finer and slower. We adjust settings for comfort and pigment-prone Indian skin, watching for patchiness or irritation.

Maintenance phase

Once hair is significantly reduced, we plan maintenance gaps, address any leftover patches and reinforce realistic expectations about future hormonal or life-stage related changes.
