Unwanted Hair: When Waxing And Shaving Stop Being Enough
Facial and body hair in women and men, the hormonal causes worth checking, and how laser hair reduction offers a long-term answer.
Understanding It
About Unwanted Hair
Unwanted facial and body hair is a routine concern for women and increasingly for men. The usual answers, waxing, threading and shaving, bring ingrown hairs, razor bumps, darkened skin and a lifetime of appointments. For most people, laser hair reduction is the long-term solution.
When hair growth is excessive, sudden, or on the face, chest or abdomen in women, it can signal a hormonal condition such as PCOS, which should be checked before treatment because laser works best alongside hormonal control. At Skin Essence in Kalyani Nagar, Dr. Daksha Patel assesses your skin type, hair colour and thickness, and the pattern of growth, then plans laser hair reduction on the Coolite BOLT, a triple-wavelength diode laser suited to Indian skin.
Our Approach
How We Treat Unwanted Hair At Skin Essence
- 01
Assess skin, hair and hormones
Skin type, hair colour and thickness decide the laser settings. Signs of PCOS or another hormonal cause are checked and treated alongside.
- 02
Test patch and preparation
Sensitive or tanned skin gets a test patch. You shave the area the day before and avoid waxing, threading and tanning beforehand.
- 03
Laser sessions on the Coolite BOLT
Three wavelengths fired together reach follicles at different depths under a sapphire-cooled tip. Areas for women include full body, face, underarms, arms, legs and bikini; for men, beard and eyebrow shaping, ears, chest and shoulders.
- 04
A full course, then maintenance
Six to eight sessions spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart give a substantial reduction. Hormonal areas may need an occasional touch-up.

At Home
What You Can Do, And When To See Us
What helps at home
- Shave rather than wax or thread between laser sessions; the laser needs the root in place.
- Exfoliate gently to reduce ingrown hairs.
- Avoid tanning before and after sessions.
- See a doctor about irregular periods or sudden new hair growth.
See a dermatologist if
- Coarse hair is appearing on the chin, chest or abdomen in a woman.
- Hair growth has increased suddenly.
- You get recurrent ingrown hairs, boils or dark patches from waxing or shaving.
- You want a lasting reduction before a wedding that is 6 to 8 months away.
