Laser Hair Removal in Bangalore: Your Guide to Smooth, Long-Lasting Results

Unwanted hair can be frustrating—shaving, waxing, plucking; most methods offer only temporary relief and often come with irritation, ingrown hairs or razor bumps. If you’re looking for a more permanent, skin-friendly alternative, laser hair removal in Bangalore might be just what you need. 

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a modern technique that uses beams of light absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. This light transforms into heat, which damages the follicle and reduces its ability to produce hair. Unlike waxing or shaving, which only removes hair above the surface, laser treatment targets the root—giving you much longer-lasting reduction in hair growth.

Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required—typically 6 to 8 sessions—to catch the hairs in their active growth phases. Over these sessions, clients often see much less regrowth, and what does grow back is finer and lighter. 

Why Do Some People Have Excessive Hair Growth?

Several factors contribute to hair growth patterns—especially when hair growth feels more extensive than normal. Key causes include:

• Hormonal imbalances

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

• Genetic predisposition

• Thyroid or adrenal gland issues 

Understanding the underlying cause helps in planning treatments, setting expectations, and combining laser hair removal with other therapies if needed.

How It Works: The Process

Here’s a step-by-step look at what to expect when you go for laser hair removal in Bangalore at Anew:

1. Consultation & Patch Test: Your skin type, hair texture, medical history are assessed. A patch test may be done to check skin sensitivity and laser compatibility. Preparation: You’ll need to shave the target area 24 hours before the session. Avoid waxing or plucking because those remove the root which the laser needs to target. 

2. During Treatment: You’ll get protective eyewear. A cooling gel or cooling system (like ChillTip™) helps manage comfort. The laser emits pulses of light, absorbed by pigment in the hair, heating the follicle. You may feel warmth, snapping or tingling. 

3. Aftercare: Some redness or mild irritation is normal and typically fades. Avoid sun exposure, heat (hot baths/showers, saunas), and strenuous workouts for 24-48 hours. Maintenance sessions will be needed to catch new growth.
