# Laser Hair Removal in Bangalore

*Medically reviewed by [Dr Nithya Raghunath](/about-dr-nithya-raghunath-best-dermatologist-doctor-bangalore), MD (Dermatology)*

Laser hair removal uses laser light to heat and disable hair follicles, giving long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair. At Contura Clinic, Bangalore, treatments use the Soprano ICE Platinum laser, which combines three wavelengths with built-in cooling. It is safe for all skin types, including Indian and tanned skin. Most people need 4–7 sessions, 3–6 weeks apart, supervised by dermatologist Dr Nithya Raghunath.

## How does laser hair removal work?

The laser sends pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The heat travels down to the follicle and stops it from growing new hair. Soprano ICE Platinum fires three wavelengths at once, so it reaches follicles at different depths. Its Sapphire cooling tip protects the top layer of skin, which makes it comfortable and safe for darker skin.

## Why do I need several sessions?

Hair grows in cycles. A laser only affects hairs that are actively growing at the time of the session. Resting follicles start growing later, so they are treated in the next sessions. That's why 4–7 sessions spaced 3–6 weeks apart give the best result.


## Is laser hair removal permanent?

It gives permanent hair reduction, not always 100% removal. Most treated hair does not grow back, and any hair that does is usually finer and lighter. Some people need an occasional maintenance session, especially after hormonal changes.


## How to prepare for laser hair removal

- Stay out of the sun as much as possible for 2 weeks before.
- Don't wax, pluck, thread or bleach for 4 weeks before. These remove or lighten the hair the laser needs to target.
- Shave the area a day before. Our staff will help with hard-to-reach areas such as the back.
- Come without makeup, creams or deodorant on the area to be treated.


## Aftercare

- Use an ice pack if you have redness or swelling.
- Don't scrub the treated area.
- Use SPF 30 sunscreen daily for 2 weeks.
- Treated hairs may seem to keep growing. They are shedding, and fall out within 1–2 weeks.


## Side effects of laser hair removal

Most people have only mild redness. Less often, there may be swelling, darker or lighter patches, bruising or blistering. These usually settle within a few days. If you notice blisters or scabs, call the clinic and we will give you a healing ointment.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is laser hair removal safe for Indian skin?

Yes. Soprano ICE Platinum is designed for all skin types, including Indian and tanned skin. Its cooling tip protects the surface of the skin while the laser treats the follicle.

### How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

Most people need 4–7 sessions, spaced 3–6 weeks apart. The number depends on the area, hair thickness and your hormones.

### Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most people find it nearly painless. It feels like a light rubber band snap on the skin. Numbing cream can be applied for sensitive areas.

### Can I shave between laser sessions?

Yes. Shaving is fine and recommended. Avoid waxing, plucking, threading and bleaching, because the laser needs the hair root in place.

### Can men have laser hair removal?

Yes. Men commonly treat the back, chest, shoulders and beard line. It also helps with ingrown hairs.
