Here we have answered some of the frequently asked questions about laser hair removal.

What is the cost of laser hair removal?

The cost depends on what part of the body is undergoing the procedure and on the number of sessions prescribed. The best way to find out about this is to get a consultation from a qualified doctor.

Will the hair ever grow back?

The number of sessions required to get rid of unwanted hair depends on the part of the body from where the hair is to be removed and the density of hair. Hair grows in a cycle and if it is removed, it may grow back. However, a few maintenance sessions can put a stop to hair re-growth permanently.

Will laser hair removal hurt me?

There may be a very slight sensation of discomfort, but no pain will be experienced. The hair follicles are surrounded by nerve fibres and they respond to the energy in the laser. The sensation of pain or discomfort is however temporary and stops almost immediately after the session.
