The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal (LHR) is a sophisticated and advanced aesthetic procedure that leverages the science of photothermolysis to achieve long-term hair reduction. The term “laser” stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Here’s a deeper dive into how it works:
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser Technology and Light Energy:
- The laser device emits a highly concentrated beam of light that targets melanin, the pigment found in hair follicles.
- This light is absorbed by the melanin, converting it into heat energy.
Selective Photothermolysis:
- Selective photothermolysis is the process by which the laser selectively targets and heats the hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin tissue.
- The goal is to destroy the hair follicle’s ability to regenerate, which is achieved by damaging the stem cells that are responsible for hair growth.
Hair Growth Cycle:
- Human hair grows in cycles consisting of three phases: Anagen (active growth phase), Catagen (transitional phase), and Telogen (resting phase).
- Laser hair removal is most effective during the Anagen phase when the hair is actively growing and connected to the hair follicle.
- Multiple sessions are necessary because not all hairs are in the same growth phase at the same time.
Detailed Steps in the Laser Hair Removal Process
Initial Consultation:
- A thorough consultation with a dermatologist is conducted to assess the individual’s skin type, hair type, and overall suitability for the procedure.
- Any underlying medical conditions or medications are reviewed to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Preparation:
- The target area is shaved to ensure that the laser energy is absorbed directly by the hair follicles rather than the hair above the skin surface.
- A cooling gel or a cooling device is applied to the skin to protect the epidermis and enhance comfort during the procedure.
Laser Application:
- The laser device is calibrated based on the individual’s skin type and hair characteristics.
- The laser emits light pulses, which penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles.
- The absorbed light energy transforms into heat, which damages the hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.
Post-Treatment Care:
- After the laser session, a cold compress or anti-inflammatory creams may be applied to soothe the treated area.
- Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and to use sunscreen to protect the treated areas, as the skin may be more sensitive to UV radiation post-treatment.
- Follow-up sessions are scheduled based on the hair growth cycle and the area being treated.

Who Can Benefit from Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is ideal for anyone looking to permanently eliminate unwanted hair. It is suitable for all skin types, especially those with lighter skin tones and darker hair. However, it is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women and young adults undergoing puberty due to hormonal changes.
Cost of Laser Hair Removal
The cost of laser hair removal in India ranges from Rs 2000 to Rs 30,000 per session. The price varies based on factors such as the size of the treatment area, hair color, type and density, skin tone, and the number of sessions required. For instance, upper lip hair removal is less costly compared to full-body hair removal.
