Laser Hair Removal

Long-Term Hair Reduction
With Individualized Care

Laser hair removal is a method of long-term hair reduction that uses controlled laser energy to target pigment within the hair follicle. At Medrose Medical Center in Al Barsha Heights, Dubai, treatment parameters are selected according to your skin characteristics, hair type and treatment area following assessment.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair and converted into heat, which affects the follicle responsible for hair growth. Because hair grows in different cycles, not all follicles can be effectively targeted during a single treatment.

Multiple sessions are therefore usually required, and individual response varies.

Two Wavelengths for Different Needs

Skin tone, hair colour, hair thickness and the treatment area all influence the choice of laser and treatment parameters. We use two commonly used wavelengths for hair reduction:

〰
Alexandrite 755 nm Commonly selected for appropriate lighter skin types with pigmented hair.
λ
Nd:YAG 1064 nm May be selected for darker skin types when clinically appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

Most patients require approximately 5–6 sessions for noticeable long-term hair reduction. However, some people may need additional sessions depending on the treatment area, hair characteristics, hormonal influences and individual response to laser treatment.

2

Is laser hair removal permanent?

It is more accurately described as long-term hair reduction. Results and maintenance requirements vary between individuals.

3

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as a brief snap or warmth. Cooling is used to improve comfort during treatment.

4

Can I wax or thread between sessions?

Waxing, threading and other methods that remove the hair from the follicle are generally avoided during a laser treatment course. Shaving is usually preferred when hair removal is required between sessions.

5

Can I have laser hair removal after tanning?

Recent tanning or significant sun exposure can affect treatment suitability and laser settings. Inform the laser team before your session so the area can be assessed.

Is laser hair removal suitable for darker skin?

It may be suitable depending on the individual assessment. Wavelength and parameters must be selected appropriately for the patient's skin and hair characteristics.
