AKJ Skin and Laser Centre clinic set up by Drs Selvam and Nirmala is one of the first facilities to employ laser technology for laser hair removal in both men and women. Our facility always begins by thoroughly wiping down the treatment area. Once the site has been cleaned, a local anaesthetic gel is applied. High-intensity laser light is absorbed by the hair follicle, which is transformed into thermal energy and used to kill the follicle's root. It could take 30–40 minutes for the entire session.

This method employs a precise wavelength and pulse duration laser to destroy hair follicles. Since the laser can be focused on individual strands, our doctors can use it to remove hair from any area, including those inaccessible to waxing or plucking. Before beginning treatment, we thoroughly examine the skin's texture. Based on the results of this analysis, we decide on the appropriate laser power and the number of appointments.

The time required to finish the process depends on the size of the intended area where hair needs to be removed. Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions (3–8) to achieve optimal results, each of which should be spaced out by 4–6 weeks. It takes a few days to a few weeks for the hair to fall out after exposure to laser. Location, hair thickness, and density can all affect the number of sessions needed. As a result, patients may need to be recalled for follow-up appointments after completion of allocated sessions.
