Laser Hair Removal: Benefits, Risks & What to Expect | Kosmoderma

Laser hair removal isn’t just about smooth skin. It’s about confidence, convenience, and long-term savings. Here’s what you need to know before making the switch, especially if you’re considering treatment in India.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal (LHR) is a clinically proven method to reduce unwanted hair using targeted light energy. It destroys hair follicles at the root without damaging your skin.

Unlike waxing or shaving, LHR is a long-term solution that’s safe, precise, and suitable for both men and women.

Is It Worth It? Let’s Break It Down.

Here’s how laser stacks up against other common methods:

Method	Pain Level	Lasts For	Skin Impact	Cost Over Time
Shaving	Low	1–2 days	Can cause cuts, roughness	₹30,000–₹50,000 (5 yrs)
Waxing	High	2–3 weeks	Risk of ingrown, burns	₹1.2–₹2.1 lakhs (5 yrs)
Laser	Moderate	Long-term (years)	Smooth, no ingrown	₹18,000–₹50,000 total

Key Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

What Are the Risks?

Let’s be honest. No aesthetic procedure is 100% risk-free. But with the right technician and USFDA-approved lasers, these are rare and manageable:

• Mild redness or swelling (temporary)

2) Slight discomfort during the session

• Temporary pigmentation changes in some skin types

At Kosmoderma, our devices are tailored for Indian skin, especially types IV–VI, making LHR safer and more effective.

What to Expect: Before, During & After

1) Before

• No waxing, threading, or sun exposure for 2–4 weeks
• Clean-shave the area 24 hours before treatment

2) During

• Numbing cream (if needed)
• A quick session (10 to 45 mins, depending on the area)

3) After

• Mild redness is common
• Use sunscreen religiously
• Avoid hot showers and workouts for 24–48 hours

When Will You See Results?

You’ll notice a 30–50% reduction after just 3 sessions. Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for best results.

Patience pays. Permanent reduction is a process, not a one-time fix.

Is It Safe for Darker Skin?

Yes. New-age machines like Diode and Nd: YAG lasers used at Kosmoderma are safe for all Indian skin tones. No burns. No damage. Just results.

Is It Right for You?

You’re a good candidate if you:

• Are you tired of recurring hair removal?
• Want smoother skin without irritation
• Have dark, coarse hair and light to medium skin

(Note: Lighter hair, like grey, red, or very blonde, may not respond as well.)

FAQs

1) Is laser hair removal painful?
Slight tingling sensation; most clients find it manageable, especially with cooling technology.

10 minutes for small areas like underarms, 3–4 hours for a full body.

Absolutely. Beard shaping, chest, and back are very popular for men.
