What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal treatment is a medical-grade cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light beams (lasers) to target and destroy hair follicles, significantly reducing hair growth over time. This non-invasive method is designed to offer long-term hair reduction with minimal discomfort and no downtime. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, making it most effective on darker hair tones. A PubMed-indexed study evaluating long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser over 12 months found that 71.5% of treated areas showed >50% hair reduction after 5 sessions, with 40% maintaining that reduction at 1 year. The study confirms the laser’s effectiveness for long-term hair reduction. Commonly treated areas include the beard lining, back and shoulders, and bikini line. Laser hair removal is a smooth, low-maintenance alternative to shaving, waxing, or threading.

Laser Hair Removal Techniques

Explore the most advanced laser hair removal techniques used to achieve effective, long-lasting results across different skin tones and hair types.

Cynosure Nd:YAG Laser

Ideal for darker skin tones, it penetrates deeper with reduced risk of pigmentation. This laser targets the hair follicle without affecting surrounding melanin, making it safer for Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI. It’s highly effective for thicker hair and commonly used on areas like the face, underarms, and bikini lines.

Alexandrite Laser

Best suited for lighter skin tones, offering fast treatment for larger areas like legs and back. It emits a shorter wavelength that is absorbed efficiently by melanin, ensuring quick and precise results on fair skin. Due to its speed and coverage, it's ideal for full-body sessions or treating large zones in minimal time.

How is Laser Hair Removal Performed?

Here’s a breakdown of the key steps involved in the laser hair removal procedure, highlighting how the treatment precisely targets and reduces unwanted hair.

Target Area Mapping & Skin Cooling: The practitioner outlines the treatment zone and may apply a cooling gel or use a dynamic cooling device to protect the outer skin layer (epidermis) and enhance comfort during laser pulses.
Laser Pulsing & Follicle Disruption: A handheld laser device emits concentrated light beams that are absorbed by the melanin in hair shafts. The heat generated travels to the hair follicle, damaging its structure and inhibiting future growth.
Post-Treatment Cooling & Monitoring: After each section is treated, cooling systems or cold compresses are applied to minimize redness or swelling. The skin is monitored to ensure there are no adverse reactions before completing the session.

Who Can Have Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal isn’t just for cosmetic enhancement, it’s also used to address several hair-related skin conditions effectively and safely.

Pseudofolliculitis Barbae: Painful razor bumps caused by ingrown hairs, especially in shaved areas.
Hypertrichosis: Abnormal hair growth across the body unrelated to hormonal issues.
Folliculitis: Inflamed hair follicles often triggered by friction or shaving.
Keratosis Pilaris: Though not a direct treatment, it can improve skin texture by reducing hair density.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Helps manage unwanted facial and body hair caused by hormonal changes.

Laser Hair Removal At The Nova Clinic?

Consultation

A certified laser technician or dermatologist at Nova Clinic assesses skin phototype, hair density, and growth cycles to develop a customized laser protocol. This medical evaluation ensures safety and optimal results, making laser hair removal in Dubai a precise and patient-focused cosmetic solution.

Preparation

Clients must shave the designated treatment area 24 hours prior, avoiding sun exposure, photosensitizing agents, waxing, and epilation. Proper pre-treatment care ensures laser energy directly targets the hair follicle, enhancing efficacy and minimizing skin irritation during the session.

Recovery

Post-treatment, mild erythema or edema may appear but subside within hours. Patients are advised to apply soothing creams, avoid thermal exposure, and use broad-spectrum SPF. Adhering to aftercare maximizes outcomes, leaving skin smooth and significantly less prone to ingrown hairs.

Procedure

A topical cooling agent or integrated cryogen spray is applied before the laser emits pulses that penetrate the skin and destroy anagen-phase follicles. Devices like Cynosure ELITE ensure controlled energy delivery, ensuring safety, reduced discomfort, and precise follicular targeting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Helping with answers to make you feel at ease

What should I do before getting Laser Hair Removal?

Avoid sun exposure, waxing, and plucking for at least two weeks. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session. Keep your skin clean, free of lotions or makeup, and follow any pre-treatment guidelines provided by your specialist.

What should I do after getting Laser Hair Removal?

Apply soothing aloe vera or a cooling gel to calm the skin after treatment. Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and excessive sweating for 24–48 hours. Experience the best laser hair removal Dubai offers with expert aftercare for flawless results.

Does Laser Hair Removal have side effects?

Mild redness or slight swelling may occur but typically subsides within hours. Rare side effects include temporary skin sensitivity or pigment changes. Following aftercare instructions minimizes risks and ensures a smooth, irritation-free experience with long-lasting results.

Is Laser Hair Removal painful?

Most people experience mild discomfort, often described as a quick snapping sensation. Advanced cooling technology minimizes irritation, making the treatment tolerable. Sensitivity varies based on skin type and treatment area, but sessions are quick, and discomfort fades immediately.

What is the cost of Laser Hair Removal in Dubai?

Prices vary based on the treatment area, number of sessions, and clinic expertise. Investing in a professional, high-quality service ensures effective results with advanced technology and expert care. Consultation with a specialist determines the best package for individual needs.

Is Laser Hair Removal suitable for all skin types?

Advanced laser technology now caters to various skin tones safely. While results may vary, a consultation with an expert determines the best approach for each skin type, ensuring effective and safe treatment without damaging pigmentation.

Can It Permanently Remove Hair?

Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction by damaging hair follicles during the growth phase. While it may not guarantee permanent removal, most clients experience significant, lasting reductions in hair density and regrowth after multiple sessions and occasional maintenance.

How Soon Will I See the Results?

You may notice initial hair reduction after your first laser session. Significant improvement typically occurs after 4–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Hair regrows finer and lighter, with optimal, long-lasting results achieved after completing the recommended treatment cycle.

How many sessions are needed for permanent hair removal?

Most individuals require 6 to 8 sessions for optimal results, depending on hair type, skin tone, and treatment area. Hair growth cycles vary, so multiple treatments ensure long-lasting smoothness with noticeable hair reduction after each session.

Is Electrolysis Better Than Laser Hair Removal?

Electrolysis offers permanent hair removal by treating each follicle individually but is time-consuming. Laser hair removal treats larger areas faster with long-term reduction. The best choice depends on hair type, skin tone, and desired outcomes—consult a specialist for personalized advice.

Trusted Voices, Proven Service

I've been coming to The Nova Clinic Al Wasl Branch for laser hair removal and really happy with the results I'm getting. Shoutout to Dr. Saima, she's so sweet, very detailed and professional when it comes to explaining the procedures and whats best for me, and a shoutout to her nurse Rachel too. The only thing is that sometimes it's quite difficult to change or book appointments if I want to book something soon, which makes me have to wait a long time. However overall, I would definitely recommend this clinic to others!

Fatma Hassan
It is always lovely to visit The Nova clinic on Al Wasl rd. the staff are all super nice and helpful. Jessica did my facial today. She is very professional and walked me through what would happen and how long it would last. During the treatment she talked about what she was applying and how it would affect my skin . Over all a great experience and I would definitely recommend Jessica and the Nova Clinic.

Lisa Hamilton
It was my first time at the Nova clinic and I was pleasantly impressed. A very beautiful, spacious and clean place with excellent service and professional specialists. I came for a procedure with cosmetologist Natalya and she selected a treatment for me based on my skin type and according to my recommendations, we did peeling and lifting of the lower part of the face, everything went as comfortable and pleasant as possible) After the procedure, my face was shining and looked very fresh, and after a few days I began to receive a million compliments that I began to look much better and that something had changed noticeably, this cannot please me either when in the morning I saw an even tone and a toned face. In general, I am very pleased and recommend Natalia as a specialist in caring for your face.

Diana Gorbacheva
I did an enzyme facial last week at NOVA clinic, It was amazing,Christine was amazing and very gentle and the atmosphere of the room is very relaxing. The facial was kind of uncomfortable because it stings BUT after the results of the facial after 2 days i forgot about the unpleasant itches during the facial. Everyone told me im glowing which is why im going to do the facial again very soon! Plus it seemed like it reduced visible fine lines/wrinkles. I highly recommend this facial and clinic, as it's very clean and welcoming.

Dunia hasbini
I recently had my brows shaped by Lana Tarek, a well known brow aesthetician. I am so impressed by her work. She is very meticulous in what she does, she will analyse your face and create a shape which will suit you best. My mother also does micoblading there and the results are amazing.. She creates really natural, beautiful brows. I highly recommend her!
