Body hair is a natural part of your body. Though it is most welcome and wanted on the head other parts are not so lucky. Hair is mostly unwanted on your arms, legs, and lips. This is especially true if you are a woman. Even men prefer their body hair to be on the low side and not dense. Hair removal is an ancient practice, only the techniques have evolved over the decades. The latest in this area is the Laser Hair Removal. Hair removal can be purely cosmetic or even ritualistic in certain cultures but seldom is it medical. Traditional methods like plucking and waxing are not only painful but can also irritate skin with ingrown hair and acne-like bumps. Laser hair removal can be a viable alternative for you in this.
One of the most common cosmetic procedures done today by people is Laser hair removal. In simple terms, it is a procedure that removes unwanted hair by using a concentrated beam of light also known as laser. A laser is a non-invasive technique of emitting light which is then absorbed by the hair pigment or the melanin present in the hair base. This light energy then converts to heat causing damage to the hair follicle sacs which produce hair. Hence causing delays or even inhibiting hair growth in the future.
Unfortunately for blondes and brunets this process best performed on people with dark hair and light skin since the process targets melanin. Mayo Clinic also elaborates that laser hair removal only delays hair growth and doesn’t eliminate it.
The most important factor that you think about when deciding on any cosmetic treatment is the cost involved. The same goes for laser treatment. On an average one laser session in India for upper lips will cost you around Rs 1500 to Rs. 3000. Keep in mind though that this is just a very general range and the actual cost depends on multiple factors like:
That said even though hair removal by laser looks expensive it is not when you do the maths. In the long term, you end up spending about 4 lacs in a reputed salon on hair removal in 10 years. Here even with follow up sessions you don’t go beyond 2 to 2.5 lacs making it the more cost-effective option over the years.
The technique remains the same only the type of laser used changes. Some different types are:
Excess and unwanted hair is a common problem. It is prevalent in both genders and its removal is associated with methods:

Complications and Success Rate explained
The laser removal process is the most successful permanent hair removal option. Even though laser does not guarantee permanency 100 percent it is still your best bet in the market. But it does come packed with some side effects:
You must remember that even though it is an aesthetic procedure it is still a medical procedure that involves beaming laser into your follicles. As such it is bound to have certain complications, but these are few and by far less serious than the effects of other procedures like waxing.
But then again, the very fact that it is an invasive procedure even if that invasion is minimal can be detrimental for many.
It’s important to know the benefits and side effects but before deciding to opt for laser hair removal there are other things also that you should consider. These include educating yourself about:
There is no government or medical regulation with laser therapy. It is a procedure easily available with a storefront or in any so-called “cosmetic clinic”. However, there is a high possibility of harm to the patients when the procedure is not carried out by a qualified practitioner. Given that it involves the use of a medical laser with the high possibility of scarring, burn and pigmentation physicians argue that it should be classified as a medical practice with proper regulation to curb it from being practiced by the business for profit reasons. On the other end, the non-clinic advocates argue that it is a very safe minimally invasive technique with a lotq=7 fewer complications than those currently offered by the beauty salons like electrolysis and waxing. Considering the distinct lack of clarity you should protect yourself when deciding on this treatment by keeping in mind the following points:
The following list about the popular laser treatment especially designed for the Indian skin can help you decide which one will work for you best:
Basic misgivings that you must be harboring after reading through the jargon about laser therapy would include whether laser removal is indeed permanent? Is it worth it? How expensive are it and the ultimate query is it bad for your skin? To settle your doubts, laser removal is generally permanent but there are no assurances on that department. It’s 100 percent semi-permanent in the sense that your hair will not grow back within a few months but over the years it might.
Whether it’s worth it or not is completely your call. You know the pros and cons so decide. Also, it can be expensive but not so much when you factor in the long-term savings. It’s more of an onetime pinch on the pocket. Lastly, it’s not bad for your skin. It’s better than the other removal techniques. But the bottom line is that it is invasive if a minimally invasive procedure. And your skin is unique. To conclude laser removal procedures are the next big thing in the market of beauty treatments. They have certain advantages over the traditional procedures that cannot be ignored. But you must ultimately take the call on whether it suits your purpose or not.
