What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light beams to target and destroy hair follicles, resulting in permanent hair reduction. The laser light is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles, which heats up and damages the follicle structure, preventing future hair growth.
At NG Plastic Surgery Centre in Ahmedabad, Dr. Neel Gupta uses state-of-the-art laser systems that are safe for Indian skin types, ensuring effective treatment with minimal discomfort and downtime.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that targets the melanin in hair follicles. This process works best on hair in the active growth phase (anagen phase). Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to target all follicles during their growth phase, typically resulting in 80-90% permanent hair reduction.
