Laser Hair Removal in Islamabad and Batkhela

Laser weakens the hair follicle over a course of sessions. One session will not finish the job and no honest clinic will tell you otherwise.

What it actually is

Light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and converted to heat, which damages the follicle. It only works on hair that is in its growing phase, and at any moment only some of your hair is. That is why it takes a course spaced weeks apart.

Six to eight sessions is normal for most areas. Some people need more. Hormonal hair on the face often needs ongoing maintenance rather than a finish line.

The practical details

How long it takes
Ten minutes to an hour by area.
Recovery
Pink for a few hours.
When you see it
Reduction builds session by session.
How long it lasts
Long term reduction. Some maintenance is usual.

What it helps with

  • Unwanted facial hair
  • Underarms, legs and arms
  • The bikini area
  • Ingrown hairs from shaving and waxing

What it will not do

Laser targets pigment, so it does not work on white, grey or very fine blonde hair. If that is what you have, we will tell you at the consultation rather than sell you a course that cannot work.

Being honest with you

The word permanent gets used loosely in this industry. What laser reliably gives is long term reduction: much less hair, finer, slower. Expecting nothing ever again sets you up to be disappointed by a good result.

Questions people ask

How should I prepare?
Shave the area a day or two before, do not wax or thread for a few weeks beforehand, and stay out of strong sun. We will give you the exact instructions when you book.
Does it hurt?
It feels like a hot elastic band snapping against the skin. The machine cools as it works. Most people find it very manageable.
Is it safe on brown skin?
Yes, with the right settings and the right machine. Wrong settings on darker skin is where burns and pigmentation come from, which is why who operates it matters more than the brand on the box.
