Treatment Overview
What is diode laser hair removal?
Diode laser (810nm) is widely considered the gold-standard wavelength for hair removal across most skin tones (Fitzpatrick I to IV). It penetrates deeply into the follicle while the large spot size and rapid pulse rate make it practical for large body areas. At Skin Clinic by Dr. Eram Razzaq, settings are adjusted per session for hair thickness, skin tone, and area. Hair grows in cycles — anagen (active), catagen, and telogen — and laser is only effective in the anagen phase, which is why multiple sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart are required to treat follicles across all growth cycles.

FAQs
Common questions before booking
These answers are general guidance. Your actual plan depends on examination, skin type, medical history, and treatment suitability.
How does diode laser hair removal work?
Diode laser at 810nm targets melanin in hair follicles, delivering heat that damages the growth center and progressively reduces regrowth.
How many sessions are needed?
Typically 6 to 8 sessions for most areas spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, as laser only works during the active hair growth (anagen) phase.
Is the Diode laser safe for Pakistani skin tones?
Yes. The 810nm Diode is well-suited for Fitzpatrick skin types III to IV common in Pakistan when settings are calibrated correctly.
Does it permanently remove hair?
It provides long-term and significant hair reduction. Some regrowth is possible and occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.
Can I wax between laser sessions?
No. Waxing removes the follicle root that the laser needs to target. Shaving only is permitted between sessions.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most patients describe a warm snapping sensation. The built-in contact cooling system significantly reduces discomfort.
Can it be done on the face?
Yes. Upper lip, chin, sideburns, and other suitable facial areas can be safely treated after consultation.
Who is not suitable for laser hair removal?
Those with white, grey, red, or light blonde hair; active tanning; pregnancy; or skin infection are not suitable for treatment.
Can men have laser hair removal?
Yes. Men commonly treat back, chest, neck, and facial areas. Beard shaping with laser requires careful assessment.
Do I need a consultation before starting?
Yes. Skin type, hair colour, treatment area, and medical history are assessed before beginning the course.
