Laser Hair Reduction
Permanent hair reduction with Diode + Alexandrite lasers — calibrated for every Indian skin type.
Laser hair reduction (LHR) works best when the wavelength is matched to your skin type and hair colour. RenovaAura uses diode (810 nm) for lighter skin tones and Alexandrite (755 nm) for all skin tones. A full course gives permanent reduction across face, body, underarms, bikini, back, or chest.
What you might notice
Symptoms
- ◍Coarse facial hair (upper lip, chin, jawline) — often hormonal
- ◍Underarm, leg, bikini, back, or chest hair you want permanently reduced
- ◍Razor bumps and ingrown hairs from regular shaving
- ◍Hirsutism patterns suggesting PCOS
- ◍Folliculitis flares after waxing or threading
What's actually happening
Common causes
- Genetic factors (runs in families)
- Hormonal imbalance — PCOS, thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders
- Medications (steroids, hormone therapy)
- Post-pregnancy or perimenopausal hormonal shifts
- Sometimes idiopathic — no identifiable cause
How RenovaAura treats this
Our approach.
- 1Hormonal workup if facial hair pattern suggests PCOS or thyroid involvement
- 2Skin-type (Fitzpatrick) assessment to choose the right laser wavelength — diode for I–III, Nd:YAG for IV–VI
- 36–10 sessions, 4–8 weeks apart, for permanent reduction
- 4Annual maintenance touch-ups when required
- 5Post-care protocol: SPF 50+, no waxing or plucking between sessions (shaving is fine)
Patient questions
What people usually ask.
It causes permanent reduction, not 100% removal. Hormonal regrowth can occur over years, so annual maintenance keeps you smooth long-term.
Not when the correct wavelength is used for your skin type. We use Diode and Alexandrite for Indian skin types IV–VI specifically to avoid post-inflammatory pigmentation, which is a real risk with wrong wavelengths.
6–10 sessions is the standard course, 4–8 weeks apart. PCOS patients often need 2–4 extra sessions due to ongoing hormonal stimulation of follicles.
Only with extra caution and with conservative energies.
Modern diode and Alexandrite lasers with integrated cooling feel like a warm rubber-band snap — uncomfortable but tolerable without anaesthesia. We can apply a numbing cream for sensitive areas (bikini, upper lip) on request.
