Understanding Unwanted Hair & How Laser Hair Removal Helps
Unwanted hair can appear on various parts of the body due to:
- Genetics: Family history often plays a big role in hair growth patterns.
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones (e.g., during puberty, pregnancy, or due to conditions like PCOS) can trigger excess hair growth.
- Ethnicity: Certain ethnic backgrounds are prone to more extensive hair growth.
How Laser Hair Removal Works:
Laser Hair Removal uses concentrated beams of light (laser) that are absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles.
- Targeting the Follicle: The laser light converts to heat, which damages the hair follicle.
- Inhibiting Growth: This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth from that follicle. Because hair grows in cycles (anagen, catagen, telogen), multiple sessions are needed to target hair in its active growth phase (anagen) for the best results.
Laser Hair Removal can effectively treat unwanted hair on most body areas, including:
- Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
- Underarms
- Arms and Legs
- Bikini area
- Back and Chest
- Shoulders

Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You?
Laser Hair Removal can be a great solution for most men and women looking for long-term reduction of unwanted hair. You might be a good candidate if:
- You have unwanted dark hair on your face or body. (Laser works best on darker hair as it targets pigment.)
- You are tired of temporary hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, or plucking.
- You are looking for a safe and effective way to achieve smoother skin.
- You have realistic expectations about the results (it causes a significant reduction, not always 100% removal).
- You are not pregnant.
- You haven't had recent sun exposure or tanning in the treatment area.
The best way to know if Laser Hair Removal is suitable for you is to have a consultation with our experts at Minnerva Clinic. We’ll assess your skin and hair type.
Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment: What to Expect at Minnerva Clinic
We ensure your Laser Hair Removal journey is safe, comfortable, and effective:
- Consultation & Patch Test: Your journey starts with a detailed discussion with our laser expert. We’ll assess your skin and hair type, discuss your goals, explain the procedure, and answer your questions. A patch test may be done to determine the best laser settings for your skin.
- Pre-Treatment Preparation: You'll be advised to avoid sun exposure, tanning, waxing, or plucking in the treatment area for a few weeks before your session. Shaving the area a day or two before is usually recommended.
- The Procedure: The treatment area will be cleansed. You’ll be given protective eyewear. The laser technician will use a handheld device to deliver precise laser pulses to the targeted hair follicles. You might feel a sensation like a warm pinprick or a rubber band snap. Many modern lasers have cooling systems to enhance comfort. The duration depends on the size of the area being treated (from a few minutes for the upper lip to an hour or more for larger areas like the legs).
- Aftercare Advice: We’ll provide simple aftercare instructions, such as applying a soothing cream and avoiding sun exposure.
- Multiple Sessions: You will need a series of treatments (typically 6-8 sessions, spaced 4-8 weeks apart) to achieve optimal results, as the laser targets hair in its active growth phase.

Laser Hair Removal Results & Aftercare: Enjoy Lasting Smoothness
Seeing Your Results:
You may notice some hair shedding in the treated area within 1-3 weeks after each session. With each subsequent treatment, you'll see a progressive reduction in the amount and thickness of hair. Significant hair reduction is usually noticeable after 3-4 sessions, with optimal results typically achieved after a full course of 6-8 treatments.
How Long Do Results Last?
Laser Hair Removal provides long-term and, for many, permanent hair reduction. Once the hair follicle is successfully destroyed, it generally does not regrow hair. Some individuals may experience very fine, sparse regrowth over time, which can be easily managed with occasional touch-up sessions (e.g., once or twice a year).
Simple Aftercare:
- You might experience some mild redness or slight swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours to a day.
- Avoid hot baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours after treatment.
- Protect the treated skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) diligently.
- Avoid picking or scratching the treated area.
- You can shave between sessions if needed, but avoid waxing, plucking, or electrolysis.
