Light at a specified wavelength is focused onto the skin by means of a hand piece, where it targets dark material, usually the pigment in the hair. The pigment absorbs laser energy and transfers it to hair follicles causing thermal and mechanical damage to them while sparing surrounding tissues. This renders the follicles ineffective and prevents hair growth.
Step 1: Our in-house dermatologist studies your case and decides how laser is to be applied to achieve best results.
Step 2: To find out whether your skin is sensitive to laser or not, our specialists conduct a patch test on the area where laser is to be applied.
Step 3: Once your skin has passed the sensitivity test, it is shaved and a cooling gel is applied. This prepares the area for laser hair removal process.
Step 4: Now the designated area of the skin is thoroughly scanned with laser by our specialists through a handheld device to achieve a permanent solution for your hair problem.

Don’t let unwanted and re-surfing body hairs decide what you wear…

Unwanted facial and body hair is a common problem that can be a source of distress for both men and women. Dermatologists use lasers and light sources to safely and effectively treat larger areas of unwanted hair with minimal patient discomfort and fewer complications than other hair-reduction methods. Health sanctuary will give you the perfect and safest hair-removal solution.

How safe is it?

Total Safety with No Side Effects. In the hands of Health Sanctuary’s experts this is the safest technology that one can opt for. It has no side effects and the only effect it has is lasting hair reduction!

Is the process Painful?

You Gain with No Pain. The only sensations you get are of minor pinpricks! Multiple Sessions = Long Lasting Solution We need multiple sessions for effective hair removal. This is because of unsynchronized hair growth cycle. This 3-stage cycle has an active stage, the phase of hair growth; the regression phase, the pause between active and the next stage; and the resting stage, when the hair attains full growth.
The laser hair removal / reduction is only effective during the active stage when hair contains the highest amount of pigment to absorb energy required for rendering the follicles ineffective. But due to differing growth cycles of individual follicles only about 30% of them are in active stage at any given time. The ones in the resting stage need three weeks to three months to become active. So, it becomes necessary to undertake a series of sessions after 3 to 4-week interval. The number of sessions is determined by factors that include skin type, hair type and skin’s response to treatment. However, normally 4-5 sessions with a 3 to 4-week gap between them gives the desired result, even though results vary from person to person.

What is the duration of the Sessions and Gaps if any?

The duration depends on the body part being treated. As a rough guide, upper lip session may take 15 to 20 minutes while legs may take up to three hours. The gaps depend upon the hair growth patterns. Typically, a 4 to12-week gap is given. However, on an average, 40-45% reduction in hair growth is seen after three sittings. And up to 85-90% after 4-5 sittings*. In addition, 1-2 maintenance sessions may also be required every year to remove new hair follicles that were missed out during the sessions.

The Proof of the Process

Basically, effects of the technique are visible at an average of 4-5 sessions, but it can vary from person to person. However, don’t be alarmed on noticing hair on the treated area after weeks following the session. This is not the sign of early growth. It’s just the hair follicles and hair shafts being shed!
