What is Laser Hair Reduction?
Laser hair reduction targets the pigment in hair follicles to reduce their ability to regrow hair. Diode and triple-wavelength systems are commonly used because they work across a range of skin types. Hair grows in cycles, so a course of sessions is needed, and occasional maintenance sessions keep results steady.
Who is it for?

Your safety first. Laser Hair Reduction is offered only after a consultation with Dr. Nikhil Natarajan. Tell the doctor about medicines, allergies, pregnancy, recent sun exposure and previous procedures. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed.
Laser Hair Reduction: common questions
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It gives long-term reduction rather than permanent removal. Most people see significant reduction, with occasional touch-ups.
Does it work on fine or light hair?
Laser works best on dark, coarse hair. Very fine, white or grey hair responds poorly.
