How the treatment works
A diode laser emits a wavelength absorbed by the pigment inside the hair follicle. That energy converts to heat and disables the follicle's ability to regrow hair, while a cooling handpiece protects the surrounding skin.
Because hair grows in cycles, only follicles in their active phase respond to each session. This is why a planned course is necessary, and why a clinic that maps your cycle matters more than any single sitting.
What to expect at The Happy Skin Tales
Your first visit is a consultation, not a procedure. Dr. Suparna Das examines the concern, takes a history, and explains what is realistically achievable. Only then is a plan agreed, with the number of sessions and the cost confirmed before anything begins.
Every procedure is performed or directly supervised by the dermatologist. Aftercare instructions are written down, and a follow-up review is built into the plan rather than sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
It produces permanent hair reduction rather than total permanent removal. Most patients see a marked, lasting decrease in density and thickness, with occasional maintenance sessions once the initial course is complete.
Yes, when the right wavelength and settings are used. Diode lasers are well suited to medium and deeper skin tones, and every session at our clinic is planned after a dermatologist assesses your skin type.
Most people describe a warm snap rather than pain. Integrated cooling makes the treatment comfortable, and numbing cream can be applied for sensitive areas.
Yes. Shaving is encouraged. Waxing, plucking and threading must be avoided, as they remove the follicle the laser needs to target.
