Laser Hair Removal
How laser hair removal works
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. The heat produced can reduce the follicle’s ability to grow new hair.
Hair grows in cycles, and laser works best on hair in its active growth phase. This is why treatment is given as a course of sessions spaced over time.
Treatment areas
Each area is assessed and planned individually. Your plan may include one area or several.
Face
Hair along the cheeks, sideburns or jawline. Facial skin is assessed carefully, as hormonal factors can influence facial hair.
Upper lip
A small, sensitive area and one of the most requested. Treatment is precise and focused.
Chin
Hair on the chin and under the jaw, which can be linked to hormonal changes and is discussed at assessment.
Neck
The front or back of the neck, including the nape and beard line.
Underarms
A popular area, where laser may reduce regrowth and the irritation that comes with frequent shaving.
Arms
Full or partial arms, including forearms and hands, planned to blend with untreated areas.
Legs
Lower, upper or full legs, among the larger areas treated.
Back
Upper, lower or full back, an area that is difficult to manage with other methods at home.
Chest
The chest, planned to look natural alongside surrounding areas.
Abdomen
The abdomen, including the line below the navel, assessed together with neighbouring areas.
Concerns it may address
- Unwanted facial or body hair
- Ingrown hairs and irritation from shaving or waxing
- The time spent on frequent hair removal
- Hair in specific areas, such as the upper lip, underarms or legs
Who it may suit
Laser may suit adults who would like to reduce unwanted hair over time. Suitability depends on your skin and hair, and on your medical history.
- Darker hair usually responds better than very fair, grey or red hair
- Your skin type guides the approach and settings
- Hormonal factors can affect hair growth and are discussed at assessment
When it may not be suitable
- Recent tanning or strong sun exposure on the area
- Pregnancy, when laser treatment is usually postponed
- Some medicines that increase sensitivity to light
- Active infection, irritation or an unexplained mole in the area
- Very fair, grey or red hair, which may respond poorly; your clinician may advise against proceeding
Alternatives that may be discussed
Shaving and other temporary methods remain reasonable options, especially for small or occasional areas. Where dark marks or ingrown hairs are the main concern, an assessment may point instead to pigmentation treatment or a professional exfoliation.
Consultation and assessment
Your first laser appointment is a consultation: your skin, hair and medical history are reviewed before any settings are chosen.
Preparing for your consultation
- Which areas you would like treated, in order of priority
- Medicines and supplements, including any recent acne or antibiotic treatment
- Recent tanning, sunny holidays or planned travel
- How you remove hair now, and when you last waxed or threaded
- Any hormonal conditions that affect hair growth
Skin and hair assessment
Your skin type, hair colour and the areas you would like treated are assessed.
Medical history
Medicines, skin conditions, recent sun exposure and hormonal factors are reviewed.
Your plan
If laser is appropriate, the areas, spacing between sessions and aftercare are explained.
What to expect at each session
Preparation and protective measures, including eye protection, are determined according to clinical assessment and the technology used.
The laser is passed over the skin section by section. Many people describe a brief warm or snapping sensation, which varies by area.
Sessions are spaced to follow the hair growth cycle. The number you need varies by person and area, and is discussed at consultation.
Why plans differ
Hair colour, skin type, hormones and the area being treated all affect how hair responds, which is why the number and spacing of sessions are set individually and reviewed as you go.
Recovery and downtime
Mild redness or sensitivity after treatment is common and usually settles. Sun protection matters between sessions. Your clinician will explain aftercare, including when you can return to exercise, tanning or other hair removal methods.
Aftercare principles
- Protect treated skin from the sun and use the sun protection advised
- Avoid heat, saunas and intense exercise for the time your clinician advises
- Follow the hair-removal advice given for the time between sessions
- Contact the clinic if redness or discomfort does not settle as expected
Safety and suitability
Tell your clinician about any medicines, especially those that increase sensitivity to light, and about recent tanning. Laser is not applied over tattoos or certain skin lesions.
Laser hair removal is not suitable for everyone. Suitability depends on your skin type, hair colour, medical history and recent sun exposure. Temporary redness and sensitivity are common after treatment, and your clinician will explain other possible side effects. The number of sessions needed and the degree of hair reduction vary between individuals.
Questions,
answered.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser aims to reduce hair growth over time. It does not remove every hair permanently, some regrowth is possible, and maintenance sessions may be advised. Results vary between individuals.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by person and area, depending on hair colour, skin type, hormones and how your hair responds. Your clinician will recommend a plan after assessment and review it as treatment progresses.
Does it hurt?
Sensation varies by area and from person to person. Many describe a brief snap or warmth on the skin. Your comfort is checked throughout the session.
Is laser suitable for my skin type?
Suitability depends on your skin type and hair colour, and on the laser used. It is confirmed at consultation.
How should I prepare?
Preparation and protective measures are determined according to clinical assessment and the technology used, and are explained before your first session. Avoiding tanning and strong sun exposure is generally advised.
Can men have laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal may suit both women and men. Areas often discussed by men include the back, chest and beard line, and suitability is assessed in the same way.
How much does laser hair removal cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on your individual plan, including the areas treated and the number of sessions recommended for you. Fees and treatment options are discussed as part of the consultation.
