What is Ingrown Hair?

When hair grows back, it either starts to curl or grows sideways, leading to an ingrown hair. This can cause redness, inflammation, and sensitivity, and they usually appear in the areas we frequently treat.

An Ultimate Solution For Body Hair:

For chronic ingrown hairs, laser hair removal is our top recommendation. Not only has it given me great results, but it also removed the embarrassment and frustration I once felt, especially in swimwear or summer clothing. By significantly reducing hair growth, you also greatly reduce the risk of ingrown hairs in the future.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Start:

Laser hair removal works in cycles, and treatments are typically spaced every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the area. If you need 10 or more sessions, starting now means you could be hair-free or significantly reduced by next summer. Even if some hair returns, it will be much finer, which greatly reduces the likelihood of ingrown hairs.

What are the main causes of ingrown hair?

• There are four main causes of ingrown hairs, and while some are out of your control, others can be managed.
• The first cause is coarse, thick, or curly hair, this is mostly genetic, and it’s simply the way your hair naturally grows.

The other three causes are things you can control: 

• Wearing tight clothing
• A buildup of dead skin cells on the skin’s surface, and
• Improper shaving techniques. 

By addressing these factors, you can significantly reduce the risk of developing ingrown hairs.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair reduction works best on people with thick hair against light skin. Thick hair contains more melanin, which absorbs more of the laser’s energy. This energy destroys the cells responsible for hair growth more effectively, leading to better results.

Sessions According To The Skin and Thickness of Hair:

If you have thin hair with slightly dark skin, you may need multiple sessions to see visible results. This is because we cannot use high laser energy on darker skin, the melanin in the skin would also absorb the energy, increasing the risk of dark spots. In such cases, we use low energy but multiple shots over a longer treatment period.

• Thick hair: Faster, more visible results.
• Thin hair:  Slower progress, requires more sessions.

Suitable Treatment Areas:

Following are the suitable areas for laser hair removal:

• Underarms
• Bikini area
• Legs
• Facial hair 
• Full body hair 

Areas with thinner hair, such as arms, thighs, sideburns, and chin, may take longer to show visible results. Upper lips often respond well, and noticeable hair reduction can usually be seen in four to five sessions.

Can I Shave My Hair At Home Through Laser?

If you have fine, thinner hair, at-home laser hair removal devices can be a great option.

However, if your hair is coarse and thick, you might benefit more from professional in-office treatments. While laser hair removal is technically “hair reduction” rather than complete removal (since hair can still grow back in some capacity), it significantly thins the hair, making it much easier to manage.

Cost of Laser Hair Removal:

The cost of laser hair removal, from full face to full body, ranges from PKR 5,000 to 20,000 per session. However, the cost can be affected by several factors, including

Factors Influencing the Cost

• Thickness of the hair
