Threading and waxing the face every couple of weeks is tiring, and often leaves bumps, darkening and ingrown hairs.
Laser treats the hair at the root, so it grows back finer and sparser after each session until very little is left. It is especially helpful for hormonal facial hair, as part of a wider plan.
What is laser facial hair removal?
Laser facial hair removal uses light energy to disable the hair follicle, so hair grows back finer and sparser after each session. It replaces frequent threading, waxing and plucking of the upper lip, chin, jawline and sideburns.
Who is laser facial hair removal for?
- Upper lip and chin
- Jawline and neck
- Sideburns and forehead
- Hormonal facial hair
It may not be the right time if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection in the treatment area, or have reacted badly to a similar treatment before. Dr. Kajal checks this at your consultation.

How does laser facial hair removal work?
- A skin and hair check, with a patch test at the first visit.
- The area is cleaned and cooled, and protective eyewear goes on.
- The laser passes over the area in short pulses. About 15 minutes for the face.
- Repeat every 4 to 6 weeks to catch hair in its growth phase.
When will you see results?
Hair usually looks clearly reduced after 3 to 4 sessions, with most of it gone after a full course of 6 to 10. Typical course: 6–10 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart.
What to expect on the day
Shave the area a day before, and stop threading, waxing or plucking for 4 weeks before your session. Each session takes around 15 minutes.
Aftercare
- Mild redness settles in a few hours. Apply the soothing gel you are given.
- Avoid sun, steam and facials for 48 hours.
- Only shave between sessions: no threading, waxing or plucking.
Is laser facial hair removal safe?
Yes, with the right laser and settings for your skin. Mild redness for a few hours is common. A patch test is done first.
How much does laser facial hair removal cost in Mumbai?
The cost depends on the areas treated, such as the upper lip alone or the full face, and the number of sessions. Book a consultation for an exact quote.
Facial Hair Removal: frequently asked questions
Will facial hair grow back thicker?
No. Laser makes hair finer and sparser with every session.
Does it help with PCOS-related facial hair?
Yes, it helps a lot, though hormonal hair may need occasional touch-ups. Treating the hormonal cause alongside gives the best result.
Can laser remove fine or light facial hair?
Laser works best on dark hair. Very fine, light hair responds poorly, and you will be told honestly if laser suits your hair.
