Laser hair removal is one of the breakthrough procedures for the removal of undesirable hair on the face or body. It is the most sought-after hair removal method in India, especially in Delhi at Dermaworld Skin and Hair Clinics.

Laser hair removal in Delhi at Dermaworld Skin and Hair Clinics makes use of specifically designed laser machines/devices to target undesirable, stubborn hair on any facial or body site, except around the eyes. Patients who are considering laser hair removal just need to lie back and relax while a laser practitioner under the supervision of a dermatologist performs the procedure.

Laser hair removal is most effective for people with a contrast in their skin and hair colour- fair skin with dark, coarse hair. That’s because both hair and skin colour are determined by the amount of melanin present. Melanin is a coloured pigment responsible for imparting natural colour to the skin and hair. For selective photothermolysis of undesirable hair, the melanin of the hair needs to absorb all the heat energy and not the melanin of the skin. Lasers work to remove actively growing hair by heat damaging the hair without harming the skin of the treatment site.

How does Laser Hair Removal Work?

The laser emits a beam of light of specific wavelengths. The laser light generates thermal energy that passes through the skin layers to be absorbed by the melanin present in the targeted hair follicles. The heat generated from the laser causes damage to the targeted hair from the very roots down to the hair follicles. This results in stunted hair growth in the treated area and significant reduction of undesirable hair and sometimes its complete removal.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Dark Skin Tones?

Earlier, the laser hair removal technique was found to be ineffective at removing hair on darker skin tones. It was said to be unsafe because of greater chances of heat damage to the skin instead of the targeted unwanted hair. But, thanks to advancements in laser technology and growing demand for inclusivity, there are now some exceptionally effective and safe laser hair removal options for removing hair on darker skin tones. However, more laser hair removal sessions (usually 8-12) may be needed to attain desired outcomes for darker skin tones. Dermaworld Skin and Hair Clinics offers Soprano Ice Platinum (Alexandrite, Diode, ND YAG) Technology that is safe treatment for laser hair removal for all types of skin tone. All technicians are qualified to perform laser treatments, and all skin types are treated safely.

Which laser hair removal machine is best for dark-skinned people?

The Soprano Ice Platinum has the Alexandrite, Diode, and ND YAG Technology. For darker skin tones Diode, and ND YAG are available advanced laser technologies that can help target the melanin in the hair follicles and bypass the epidermal melanin. These include:

A dermatologist in Delhi or a licensed healthcare practitioner at Dermaworld Skin and Hair Clinics can help determine which laser hair removal treatment will suit you.

Is laser hair removal painful for dark skin?

It depends upon the patient’s pain tolerance level. For most people, it feels like a warm pin-prick sensation or like a hot rubber band snapped against the skin when laser pulses come into skin contact. Initially, the discomfort is more because of thick hair absorbing a lot of heat. Further laser removal sessions are more comforting. To ensure comfort throughout the treatment, the practitioner first does a patch test to find the laser setting comfortable for starting treatment and may use a numbing cream. The advanced lasers come with in-built cooling technology and can be complemented with other pain relieving methods to ensure effective and comforting treatment.
