Dreaming of a hair-free, smooth skin? Does laser treatment seem like a good choice? If you are looking for a permanent solution, then laser hair removal is a good option, though remember, It’s more permanent hair reduction, rather than permanent hair removal.
The Beauty of Body Hair
Body hair is there for a reason. They protect our skin from sun damage and regulate body temperature. They help us sense and detect bugs on the skin. Hairs on our noses and ears keep the germs out, eyelashes and eyebrows keep sweat, dust and dirt out. Still, if you want them gone, it’s your personal choice. Laser hair removal has become a popular choice for permanent hair removal in Bhubaneswar. Glamifix uses advanced and effective methods to reduce unwanted body hair and deliver lasting results.
Laser Hair Removal in Brief
Here’s how it works: laser damages hair follicles to reduce hair growth. It focuses on the melanin and burns the hair all the way down to the root. This damage discourages growth. So, since it’s damaged and not destroyed, the hair slowly yet eventually grows back.
We’re here to answer some of your burning questions on laser hair removal by debunking myths and providing accurate information on whether this procedure is right for you or not.
Understanding Laser Hair Removal?
If you wonder how laser hair removal works, Glamifix laser hair reduction procedure uses light to target unwanted hairs. It’s called Photothermolysis. A beam of high-intensity light is targeted at hair pigments. The light travels down into the hair follicles and the heat from the light destroys the follicle preventing it from growing back.
Our hair follows a unique growth cycle. It rests, sheds and grows. This means hair follicles are always in different stages at different times. If you have removed your hair recently then the hair will be in the resting phase. Laser hair works best on growing hair that is rich in protein and melanin. So, multiple laser treatments are undertaken for better results.
Mostly, people prefer treating underarms, face, back, bikini areas and legs. There is no fear of cuts or stitches in laser hair treatment.
Laser Hair Removal Before and After
While laser hair removal is not permanent, lasts longer. It’s more cost-effective than shaving, sugaring or waxing. Here’s how. Of course, the initial investment will be high. There will be an array of treatments, mostly 6 or so. After that, it gets less expensive than waxing.
It requires precision and delicate hands to conduct the treatment. Specific areas are targeted with laser hair removal without damaging the surrounding skin. Most clients experience permanent hair reduction after a series of sessions. Expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair growth after the first session.

Common Myths and Misconceptions
Laser hair removal has been very common over the years with many start-up clinics ready to provide the services. Laser in the hands of inexperienced practitioners is as unsafe as a baby with a dad’s gun. Here are the top three laser hair treatment myths and the facts:
→ Myth 1: Laser hair removal is painful
Does laser hair removal hurt? If you have ever waxed or had threaded, laser hair removal will be a piece of cake. Understand this, laser hair removal treatment uses a high-intensity light beam. The heat from light burns the hair follicles, which would feel like a warm-pinching sensation. Your dermatologist at Glamifix will apply a thin layer of numbing or cooling gel to reduce the warm sensation. With Glamifix Laser Hair Reduction treatment, hair-free skin is no longer a painful task.
→ Myth 2: It’s only effective on certain skin tones
Yes, it was true at one point of time in history when the laser was first used for hair removal. With advancements in tech, the adjustment of light wavelength has made the laser treatment customisable for every skin tone. However, it is not advisable for tanned skin and best be done after the tan subsides.
→ Myth 3: Laser Hair Removal Results are instant
No, the result is not instant. Laser hair removal is a process, not an instant fix. As mentioned earlier, hairs grow in phases and laser is most effective in targeting hairs in the growth stage. So, multiple treatments are needed.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
- Sun & Sun-tans: Considering the above details we learned, it’s understandable that staying out of the sun’s way is a must. Avoid getting tanned.
- Protection & Lightening: Dermatologists may advise applying broad-spectrum SPF50 sunscreen to avoid tanning of skin bleaching cream if you have a recent tan.
- Hair Removal: No plucking, waxing, trimming or shaving a month before the laser treatment.
- Medication: Inform our dermatologist on medicine intakes and application of anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin before the procedure.
Glamifix laser hair removal will usually take 2 to 6 sessions and intervals will depend on how quickly hair grows back in one area compared to another.
In every session, a numbing gel is used for sensitive areas. All you have to do is lie comfortably on the comfy chair, wearing protective goggles. Once the numbing gel kicks in, our expert dermatologist works on it with a hand-held laser instrument pressed on your skin.
Laser Hair Removal Side Effects
Serious complications are quite rare in laser hair removal treatment. The most common laser hair removal side effects, which often subside within a few days after the treatment, are
