Laser Hair Reduction

Laser Hair Reduction at Indyu Skin Clinic, Kochi

Laser hair reduction is the process of hair removal by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicle. A concentrated beam of light is aimed at the hair. The light is then absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which damages the hair follicle enough to retard future growth. Laser hair removal is the only answer for ladies with thick hair on the chin, jawline, face, legs, and belly. This is because these areas are influenced by hormones, and as such, the hair is thick and resistant to other forms of hair removal. Moreover, the thick hair leaves unsightly dark patches due to frequent attempts of removal with plucking and waxing. The number of sessions varies with individuals depending upon the hair density and skin sensitivity.

The SHR™ revolution by Alma employs the Soprano laser applicator which has “In-Motion™” technology. This technique heats up the dermis to a temperature level that effectively damages the hair follicles and prevents hair re-growth. All of this while avoiding damage to the surrounding skin tissue with the unique ICE™ cooling which prevents any superficial burns and enables highly effective and virtually painless hair removal for all skin types.
