Unwanted hair can affect comfort, confidence and daily routines. Laser hair removal is the most widely used medical technique for long-term hair reduction. At Dermacode by Dr. Parth (Hope Clinic), we combine clinically proven lasers with personalised care to give smooth, reliable results for patients across Surat and South Gujarat.
What is Laser Hair Removal? (Simple explanation)
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the pigment (melanin) inside hair follicles. The laser energy is converted to heat, which damages the follicle and reduces future hair growth. Multiple sessions are needed to catch hairs in different growth phases.
Types of Lasers & Which One Is Best
- Diode laser: Excellent for most skin types; fast and effective for body hair (common choice in clinics in Surat).
- Alexandrite: Works well on fair to olive skin; quick for larger areas.
- Nd:YAG: Safer for darker skin tones (deep penetration, less absorption by epidermal melanin).
- Picosecond/Combination devices: Some clinics use combined wavelengths for tougher cases.
At Dermacode / Hope Clinic we select the best device for your skin tone, hair color and treatment area.
Who Is A Good Candidate?
- Adults (18+) and older teens with stable health.
- Best results when hair is dark and skin tone contrasts with hair (but modern lasers work across tones).
- Not ideal if you’re pregnant, currently on photosensitizing drugs, or have an active skin infection at the treatment site. A detailed consultation screens for contraindications.
Typical Treatment Plan & Timeline
- Sessions required: 6–10 sessions on average, spaced 4–8 weeks apart depending on area.
- Session length: From 5 minutes (upper lip) to 60+ minutes (full legs).
- Results timeline: Noticeable thinning after 1–3 sessions; progressive reduction after subsequent sessions. Maintenance touch-ups may be needed annually.
Pre-Treatment & Aftercare (Do this for best results)
Before treatment
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks.
- Stop waxing, plucking or threading for 4–6 weeks (shaving is OK).o 60+ minutes (full legs).
