Imagine never booking a waxing appointment again. No razor burns the day before an event. No ingrown hairs, no last-minute panic. Just smooth, hair-free skin, every single day, without thinking about it.
Laser hair removal at Refine Skin Clinic gives you exactly that. Performed under the direct supervision of Dr. Hansa Srivastava, MD Dermatologist, with technology specifically calibrated for Indian skin tones, not repurposed from protocols built for lighter skin.
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the melanin, the natural pigment, inside your hair follicles. The heat generated by this light destroys the follicle at its root, preventing future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin completely untouched.
The result is permanent hair reduction, typically 80 to 90%, after a complete course of sessions. Any hair that regrows after treatment tends to be significantly finer and lighter than before.
The critical factor here is calibration. Laser settings, wavelength, pulse duration, and energy level, must be individually adjusted based on your skin tone, hair colour, and hair density. This is especially important for Indian skin, which has higher melanin than lighter skin types. Dr. Hansa's specific training in laser treatments for Indian skin makes this the difference between a safe, effective result and a damaging one.
Not a technician or beauty therapist. Dr. Hansa personally supervises every LHR procedure.
Lasers are chosen and calibrated specifically for Fitzpatrick III–V skin, eliminating the risk of burns or post-treatment pigmentation.
The face, underarms, legs, and bikini line each have different hair density and skin sensitivity. Treatment settings are adjusted accordingly.
Most patients return to their regular activities the same day.
You'll know exactly how many sessions to expect before you commit to anything.
Most patients at Refine Skin Clinic achieve 80–90% permanent hair reduction in 6 to 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your hair colour, density, the body area being treated, and any hormonal factors in play.
Darker, coarser hair generally responds faster. Hormonal conditions such as PCOD may require a couple of additional sessions. Dr. Hansa will give you a realistic, honest estimate during your consultation, not the lowest possible number just to get you started.
<p>Most patients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or a rubber-band snap. Numbing cream is applied 30-45 minutes before each session to ensure comfort throughout.</p>
<p>Yes, though the bikini area may feel slightly more sensitive during your cycle. For all other body areas, your period has no impact on the treatment at all.</p>
<p>Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session. Avoid waxing, threading, or plucking for at least 4 weeks prior. Come with clean, product-free skin, and avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 2 weeks beforehand.</p>
<p>Avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours. Apply the prescribed soothing gel and a broad-spectrum SPF50 sunscreen. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and swimming pools for 24-48 hours post-session. You may notice what looks like hair growing in the first 1-2 weeks, this is the treated follicle shedding, not new growth.</p>
<p>The clinical term is 'permanent hair reduction', meaning 80-90% of treated follicles are permanently destroyed. Some fine hairs may remain or regrow over years, particularly with hormonal changes. Occasional maintenance sessions once every 1-2 years address these minimal regrowths.</p>
