What is Laser Hair Reduction?

Laser Hair Reduction is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses advanced laser technology to target hair follicles and significantly reduce unwanted hair growth. It is suitable for various areas of the face and body, helping achieve smoother skin with long-lasting results.

Laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, disrupting future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Since hair grows in different cycles, multiple sessions are typically recommended to achieve the best possible outcome.

The treatment can be tailored to your skin type, hair colour and treatment area, making it an effective solution for reducing unwanted hair with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.

I went to Dr. Dineli for my skin issues and she suggested me the laser hair removal treatment. And I could see visible results from the first session itself. Now I’m at my 3rd session. And comparatively affordable as well. I highly recommend Luxskin <3

I have had lots of work done at LuxSkin Wellness and I have to say it is one of the best experiences I have ever had. I have had laser hair removal several times, hydra facials, lip injections, and HIFU treatments to name a few. The clinic is clean, the staff friendly, and doctor is one of the most kind doctors I have ever worked with. She listens, she offers suggestions, worries about how you feel, does everything in her power to help you relax, and even will contact you off-hours to see how you are feeling and happy with the results. Go to her clinic, I promise you, you will HAPPY!!!

Dr. Dineli has truly transformed my skin! My stubborn dark circles have completely faded after her treatments, and my skin looks a thousand times better than before. Nethmi does my laser hair reduction sessions, and she’s incredibly attentive and skilled. I’d recommend Lux Skin without hesitation to anyone looking for real results!

I had laser hair removal done by Dr. Dineli, and I’m extremely happy with the results. As a PCOS patient, I was worried whether laser would actually work for me, but the hair reduction has been drastic. There is very minimal regrowth now. The doctor was professional, patient, and explained everything clearly. The most sweetest, friendliest and kind doctor I ever met. Highly recommend Dr. Dineli to anyone, especially those struggling with PCOS-related hair growth.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Laser treatment gives long term hair reduction rather than 100 percent permanent removal. After a full course most patients see a dramatic, lasting reduction in hair growth, and any regrowth is finer and lighter. An occasional maintenance session keeps the area smooth.

Most areas need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. Lasers only disable hairs in their active growth phase, and only a portion of hairs are in that phase at any time, which is why a course of sessions is needed.

Most patients describe it as quick warm snaps against the skin, like a rubber band flick, and each pulse lasts a fraction of a second. Sensitive areas feel sharper but sessions are short, and cooling built into the device keeps it very tolerable.

Yes. With the correct laser type and settings, darker Sri Lankan skin tones can be treated safely and effectively. At Luxskin the treatment is doctor led, and parameters are chosen for your exact skin tone to minimise any risk of pigmentation changes.

Yes, shaving is fine between sessions and you will usually be asked to shave the area the day before treatment. Avoid waxing, plucking or threading during your course, because these remove the hair root that the laser needs to target.

Mild redness and slight swelling around the follicles for a few hours is the most common effect. Temporary pigmentation changes are possible but uncommon when the correct settings are used and sun protection is followed after each session.

Almost any area with unwanted hair can be treated, including the face, upper lip, underarms, arms, legs, chest, back and bikini area. Session times range from a few minutes for the upper lip to under an hour for larger areas like full legs.
