Laser hair reduction in Delhi has become one of the most popular and cost-effective cosmetic treatments among men and women. Unlike waxing or shaving, it is not just about temporary results — it provides a long-term solution.

The cost of laser hair removal in Delhi starts at around ₹2,000 per session, making it more affordable compared to traditional methods that require repeated spending and endless salon visits.

With busy lifestyles in Delhi, people are looking for safe, dermatologist-approved solutions that save time and deliver lasting results. That’s why laser hair removal has become the preferred choice for smooth, hair-free skin.

In this guide, we’ll cover the procedure, benefits, cost, safety, comparisons with waxing, FAQs, and expert insights from Dr. Bhawna Bhardwaj (MBBS, DVDL – Skin & VD), Senior Dermatologist at AK Clinics.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a medical cosmetic procedure where concentrated light beams target the hair follicle. The pigment in the hair absorbs the laser, converting light into heat that damages the follicle and reduces hair growth. Unlike waxing or shaving, it provides long-term hair reduction of up to 80–90%.

Dr. Bhawna Bhardwaj explains:
“Laser hair removal is safe, effective, and far superior to temporary methods when performed under a dermatologist’s supervision. At AK Clinics, we use FDA-approved lasers customized for every skin type.”

Note: The treatment is often referred to as “laser hair reduction” rather than “removal.” While most thick and visible hair can be permanently reduced, some finer or barely noticeable hairs may remain. That’s why dermatologists prefer the term reduction over removal.

How Does Laser Hair Reduction Work?

Laser hair removal works by using light energy to selectively target hair follicles responsible for growth. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft. This converts into heat, which weakens the follicle and slows or permanently reduces future hair growth.

Since the treatment is effective only during the active growth stage (anagen phase), multiple sessions are required to catch different follicles at the right time. On average, 6–8 sittings spaced 4–6 weeks apart are needed for long-lasting results.

Here’s how it works step by step:

1. A laser penetrates the skin and reaches the hair root.
2. Melanin absorbs the light energy.
3. Heat disables the follicle to slow or stop growth.
4. Multiple sessions ensure long-term reduction.
