Laser Hair Reduction in Mumbai : The Science, Benefits, and Why It’s Worth the Switch in 2025
Unwanted hair can be frustrating, time-consuming, and often painful to manage. Waxing, shaving, and threading are temporary fixes — leaving behind ingrown hairs, irritation, and pigmentation over time.
That’s where Laser Hair Reduction (LHR) comes in — a safe, scientific, and long-lasting method to achieve smoother, hair-free skin with precision.
At The Éterne Clinic, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, Mumbai, our dermatologists use advanced FDA-approved laser platforms to offer effective and comfortable treatments for all skin types.
What Is Laser Hair Reduction?
Laser Hair Reduction (LHR) is a medical-grade procedure that uses focused light energy to target the melanin pigment in hair follicles. The absorbed light converts to heat, which selectively disables the follicles’ growth potential — preventing regrowth without harming the surrounding skin.
Dr. Ajara Sayyad, Board-Certified Dermatologist and Medical Director at The Éterne Clinic, explains:
“LHR is not just cosmetic grooming; it’s precision dermatology. By working at a specific wavelength, the laser selectively targets active hair follicles in their growth phase — leading to long-term reduction and smoother texture.”
How Does Laser Hair Reduction Work?
Hair grows in three phases — anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). The laser is effective only during the anagen phase. That’s why multiple sessions are needed to capture all follicles in their active stage.
Step-by-Step Process at The Éterne Clinic:
- Skin and Hair Assessment – A digital skin analysis determines hair type, pigment density, and growth cycle.
- Pre-Cooling & Gel Application – A soothing gel ensures comfort.
- Laser Pulses Delivered – Light energy targets roots precisely, destroying them.
- Post-Treatment Care – Cooling and barrier-repair creams are applied to soothe the skin.
Technologies Used at The Éterne Clinic
We use US-FDA approved diode and triple-wavelength laser systems, ensuring safety and efficacy across Indian skin tones.
- Diode Laser (810 nm): Ideal for medium to coarse hair; best for Indian skin.
- Alexandrite (755 nm): Effective on fine, light-colored hair.
- Nd:YAG (1064 nm): Safest for darker or tanned skin, even post-summer.
Our laser handpieces also come with contact cooling systems to ensure pain-free comfort throughout the session.

Who Can Get Laser Hair Reduction?
LHR is suitable for both men and women, and can be performed on:
- Face and neck
- Underarms
- Arms and legs
- Bikini and intimate areas
- Chest and back
- Shoulders and beard lines
Dr. Sayyad notes,
“For male patients, laser contouring of the beard and chest is increasingly popular for cleaner, low-maintenance grooming.”
Pre- and Post-Care Guidelines
Before the Session:
- Avoid waxing or plucking for 2 weeks (shaving is fine).
- Avoid active tanning or sunburn.
- Skip perfumed products or exfoliants on treatment day.
After the Session:
- Apply cold compress or aloe-based gel for mild redness.
- Use sunscreen (SPF 50+) diligently.
- Avoid steam, sauna, and gym for 24–48 hours.
- Do not wax or thread between sessions — only shave if needed.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Typically, 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart deliver optimal results. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months may be advised depending on hormonal profile and hair type.
At The Éterne Clinic, every plan is tailored — we use digital trichoscopy and hormonal mapping to track progress scientifically.
